My guess is that australopithecus already lived like baboons in rather large groups, groups similar in size of our current capacity to live in a social network, between 50 and 250 individuals. So far fossils can't prove it of course, given the too exceptionnal way they can form.But it's hard to imagine we became all that social suddenly, not to mention this capacity to cope with large groups might have been a major selective trend toward larger and more politically oriented brains.
ahahaha one day scientists are finally gunna realize that god put two HUMANS down.. Adam. and Eve. they had babies and then the babies had babies and so on, and thats how we came... and they will laugh at the so called "intelligent" scientists talking about how monkeys were our "ancestors" hahah!! Jeez i get embarrassed FOR us just thinking about that!! Yikes! Monkeys!? I mean come. ON! hahahahhahahahaah! im watching this as a comedy... (: after all, comedys do make ya live longer.. ;D
@WarmBloodParadise When it comes to scientists inventing cars,engineering cures to diseases like polio. conjuring cosmetics, inventing new ways to wage warfare, or inventing faster ways to fly you praise them; but when it's on evolution or the environment you'll laugh your ass off and shun them - so it's only the things that you like that you'll believe. Even though these scientists have proof man has evolved while you God worshipers have yet to produce ANY evidence that a God exists.
@WarmBloodParadise When it comes to SCIENTISTS inventing cars, engineering cures to diseases like polio, designing refrigerators. conjuring cosmetics, developing new ways to wage warfare, or inventing faster ways to fly you praise them; but when it's on evolution, space, or the environment you'll shun them. Yet, I have yet to find one thing that god worshipers have contributed to mankind - other than reasons to kill one another in God's name. Your lot are all primitives and ought to be in a ZOO.
@WarmBloodParadise Also I love how you guys keep using Adam and Eve and incest as your explanations for our existence. I'll take the monkey theory any day.
@WarmBloodParadise You aren't a sensible human - that would mean using 2% of your brain. You're only using 1% as your mentality, mindset, and intelligence is derived by a book that people a thousand years ago used- whose intelligence is questionable let alone sensibilities. While I use a book written in the 21rst century XD and unlike your book mine keeps installing new information as it progresses.
@ZephonTLucifer Well I dont know about you, but being an unsensible human is a lot better then being an unsensible monkey to me! Hope your book will still have room to add about how when they find out the oopsies... Turns out we never evolved after all!!!

They didn't stay the same? They're the product of there ancestors that were just as different as we are to ours. We just happened to be able to develop tools and culture.
@JUKIO01 God, who had all the time in the world, created the Big Bang, let nature take its course, and watched his artistry at work. When we were finally intellegent enough, he granted us and our descendents souls; that's when we became truly human. Food for thought.
@JUKIO01 they didn't stay the same, they also changed from their earlier forms. but our sudden change could just have been a matter of mutation, don't forget that :)
A little bit of Abrahamic irony; The enlarging of the brain causes increased pain in child bearing. A consequence of the knowledge of good and evil was an increase of pain in child bearing.
@rawrock24 : B4 the fall of man from the garden child bearing didn't exist, it was actually a mercy granted for the survival of the now fallen humanity after the first sin and loss of immortality. The punishment was that it hurt.
Great Documentary so far, some things that seem a little opinionated rather than facts but it's not a text book, it's a show for general TV audiance's and the underlaying principals are correct
Well I know a bit about evolution and how it works on the basic plains of science and mathematically and genome changes a little bit for each Generation or every mutation of viruses cancer and so on. In fact one can see life as a cancer. Think of it yourself life is a simple molecule DNA that has one ability to create copies of itself and when a mistake happens a new type of Dna is made. See it's like codes, and when you change a thing Like a A to a B something change if it's for good who knows.
they keep saying all these reasons why our brains grew bigger. those same factors were there for the baboons and other animals too...but their brains didn't grow bigger. How come the baboons brains didn't evolve to cope with living in bigger groups? Maybe it was just by chance. Who knows? I think we need to do lots more research on evolution before we can truly know where we came from.
Yeah the logic behind these ideas (at least some of them) raises some questions. It's one of the reasons why I think the aquatic ape theory is more accurate (or, to be exact, a mix of the aquatic and savannah theories). As you may notice, other sea mammals tend to be hairless and big brained - especially whales. There are other traits shared by aquatic mammals and humans too.
Also, one can argue that even in the same conditions, animals rarely evolve in identical directions.
@pienipaha yes, like tree boas and that one species that can kind of jump and glide accross trees but even though the snakes are almost identical in structure only one can glide
@daanimalboy No because Baboons were not around millions of years ago. Humans and Baboons have a common ancestor. The way your thinking of evolution is that there were several species of apes who competed for a race. Humans won and the losers are still here today. That isn't true.
@buddybleau exactly...supposedly we evolved from walking on 4 legs to walking on two legs and developing thumbs for work....why didnt other apes? they had the same environment.
@daanimalboy It's because genetic mutations are random.
A mutation doesn't respond to any need. Most mutations are useless. But when there IS a mutation that proves useful the mutated lifeform will be successful and more likely to spread its genes.
When popular science says something like "our brains evolved to cope with this factor" they're misrepresenting the theory. It's basically a quite unfortunate shorthand for a much more complex process.
@yyusenet possibly...who knows...what made us start cooking though while other animals didn't our brains had already started developing before we started to cook. we learnt how to use tools and make fire before we cooked.
Also, baboons are not apes, but monkeys and have a different anatomy. My theory is that their anatomy prevented them from growing brains like our own.
I'm not a woman so I can't speak from experience. but I don't really think hip size is what makes birth so painful. have you ever felt a woman's cervex? (off question I know). well it's TIGHT and completely closed. for that for dilate wide enough for a baby's head to fit through involves a series of very painful contractions. yea, Im very glad I'm a guy :)
what do you know that the burrial is the first religion signs let me tell you you do not even come close to it , the burrial was at first to make sure that the smell of dead body do not attract predator cause they learn if they burrieds corps smell of it wont atrrack predator near of them than it became a ritual thast was put in to a religions
I think what they mean when saying that is burial sites that have items and other signs of rituals in or nearby them. And with items I mean stuff like weapons, decor etc. buried with the dead.
i like the documentary, only thing i dislike is that he talks about us in a way that were not an ape specis, a animal.. atleast thats the impresion iv got
Humans (Homo) is a group of apes. Just classification, nothing more. The mistake people often make is that they think "human" is somehow separate from animals, which indeed is a rather absurd idea.
When ever people say to me they're not animals, I ask them wether they then relate more to plants or fungi - or perhaps bacteria xD
Not to mention presonality can change drastically when the brain is damaged like in example can happen after a head trauma. Or if you look up lobotomy patients...
"just like baboons as we began to live in larger groups for safety so our brains evolved" and he equates this with "getting bigger". what about social groups like schools of fish or herds of zebra? i like evolution but this guy's arguments are ridiculous. his comment "science can explain everything that is human" is as stupid as someone saying "god wrote the bible"
It's all about the environment. Human sociality and the environment both caused there to be selective pressure on intelligence.
Fish also are a lot smarter than what people think - their intelligence is simply different because of different environmental factors. Also, many fish school in larger groups than what humans do, or more like used to.
Thats not Gross!! Puking, shitting, shitting in somones mouth, eatting shit, puking the shit back up into someones elses mouth, they eat the puked up shit... thinking maybe theres something else thats way more !!GROSS!!
My guess is that australopithecus already lived like baboons in rather large groups, groups similar in size of our current capacity to live in a social network, between 50 and 250 individuals.
