"IT WAS COOKING THAT MADE US HUMAN!"

[geordiemilne]

"we are adapted to eating starchy foods.."

[geordiemilne]

We ate the same meat as Lions and it is likely we got our tape worm from them, 800000 to 1.7 million years ago..

[penkallli]

Its improbable that deforestation is the reason of bipedal walking, we have baboons and other apes that live and walk around in four legs outside the forest finding no reason to walk on 2, actually its better to walk on four since its faster !

[Superslemmet]

@penkallli A chimp spends much much more energy per meter when it tries to run on the ground compared to us, so there are clear survival gains to be had by walking on two legs, at least if you don't have as much reason to search for food up in trees.

The baboons and such cannot choose to become bipedal just because they are outside the forest, evolution takes a bit longer to work than that. :P

[penkallli]

@Superslemmet

baboons arent from yesterday, deforestation is not a probable cause for walking upright !

[Superslemmet]

@penkallli "Deforestation" does not solely refer to humans cutting down large areas of forest, it just refers to situations when large areas of forest disappear.

If a specie live in the forest, and the forest gradually disappears (deforestation occurs), they either die out, or adapt to their new surroundings.

[penkallli]

@Superslemmet

It doesnt mean they will walk on 2 just because theres no forest, this makes no sense !

[Superslemmet]

@penkallli Actually it does, if the new niche in the ecosystem the specie occupy is dependant on them having hands/thumbs. Humans didn't have as much use of 'hands' on our rear libs, because we didn't climb as much, but we were wholly reliant on having hands on our forelimbs. This hybrid approach was not already occupied by other species, so we could evolve to fill it. Trying to compete with other species at their own game is bound to result in failure.

[007mox]

I have a Question here,

After agreeing that we are coming from the chimpanzees and gradually we discovered ourselves one of the finest species in the universe. Now, my Qs is how the chimpanzees came to existence ?

thanks!

[spaceboy232]

@007mox Chimpanzees and humans evolved from the same ancestor. The only difference is that we evolved from those who stepped out of the jungle and the chimpanzees evolved from the ones that stayed. So humans and chimpanzees as species are roughly same age.

[disturbedanonymous]

@007mox See, your first premise is flawed. We didn't come FROM chimps, we shared a common ancestor. Before there were chimps and before there were humans, there was something else that gave rise to both lineages. Therefore, chimps came into existence the exact same way we did, by evolution.

I won't discuss your second premise about us being "the finest species in the universe" because what other creature has so degraded their habitat and has the ability to destroy our home planet?

I think that I get in love with a anotomist

[mikieginokc1]

Food is a part, but so is sleep, so is hard wired paternal behavior, and so is hard wired group behavior; so far the hardest thing for the noisy apes to understand.

[mikieginokc1]

It's bizarre, like everybody keeps looking at everything upside down, focusing on feet and teeth when the magic was always in the brain, and had been for 6.6 million years. This factor changed families, changed friendship and competition.

[YesIamJames]

@mikieginokc1 We evolved to walk upright a long time before our brains started getting larger. Walking upright makes it much easier to use tools and communicate. Without these abilities a heavy, energy hungry brain would have been as much of a hindrance as a benefit.

Apart from that brains just don't preserve well so we just don't have much evidence for when specific changes in the brain took place.
