being that i am a starfish from the great see, i sea how much i do enjoy these TEDtalks presentations. humans just *amaze* me sometimes! but mostly, they (deeply) disturb, sicken & frigh... terrorize me.
if humans are related to monkey animals, why are not ALL species related to a single animal of origin?
can you relate a bird to a monkey animal? why not?
can a monkey be related to ... to a lion? lamb? goat?
@mindnumber9 ... ok ... you got one detail right, ALL living things are evolutionary branches of the same common unknown ancestor. You should take a look at the video Carl Sagan on Evolution, it's kind of old but it explains how humans came to be what they are now. You can google for the Phylogenetic tree in order to grasp the concept.
When we say we are "cousins" to apes we mean our population branches have separated more recently comparing to other species. But we are related to all the others
@DarkZholt "all living things are ... of the same common unknown ancestor". MMMAGIC! we all come, from magic. everybody knows this. O.o
personally, i am a BEE (who is jealous and wants to be a starfish. lying to myself just doesn't make it true, boohoo). but i remember the very beginning and it's true... i yamma bee!!!
my first mate is the hippopotamus. stinging the beast was not so easy. together, we created the material that would come to be known as "natural and artificial flavor".
@DarkZholt oh, please. what's with the dot dot dots? you want some mo'? O.o
grrrph. trolling is NOT what i do. and yar it was funnyVERYVERYfunnyonefortherecordbooks. "natural and artificial flavor"? faceitislammedititwassheergenius, buried in comedy.
answer this: if humans are the evolved offspring of monkeys (don't waste your time telling me "apes"), what did satan evolve from? ever see it, in it's true form? it is physical but "non-human" & CERTAINLY not a monkey. splain it.
there is no possible way that i am related to an ape...no matter how many different times two different apes mate, a human will not be formed and vice versa...interesting talk, but completely lacking credibility
@natedejuggla It is amazing that so many people don't understand the fundamentals of inheritance, genetics, evolution, and earth's timescale. You are a primate. Humans are a subset of primates. All available testable evidence points to this as fact. Truth be told you are most likely related to Charlemagne, so is it so hard to believe you are related to a common ancestor in 10,000 times more generations?

Where & what is your evidence. You not only mentioned naive assumption (or point of view) about "the role of playing" but also failed to describe how "playing" can be a button to rediscover creativity, fellowship & wonder. Look, just like you, someone will come up with such a misled idea as "hey! bonobo apes are our ancestors; they live in jungle and they are "happy". So, just like bonobo apes, we need to live in jungles so that we will be better in our social, economic and political status."
The main point of this talk eluded me until the last paragraph or so, in which she stated that playing helps us adapt. She never really showed any examples of one playing and thus adapting, nor did she explain the process by which it would happen.
@mindnumber9 A bonobo is not a monkey. Bonobos are apes, or homindae. Gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos (among others) all belong to the homindae family. So no, humans are not monkeys, but we are apes.
Bonobos seem to be quite interesting, and I've never known that much about them. However, other than the introductory evolutionary tree she shows, she seems to be completely ignoring that we are NOT DIRECT descendents of Bonobos. Of course, we will share many characteristics, but we also have many differences.
i never said all speeches are supposed to be given in english? english aint my mother tongue either, but if u attempt giving a speech in english, u should at least speak english
and if u dont know english, it doesnt mean ur ideas arent worth sharing, but then i suggest u either spread them in a language you are actually capable of, or you let someone else who does speak english translate for you
When you start endorsing the dominance of one sex over another, male or female, and reject the ideal of equality, you end up discrediting the whole foundation of feminism.
So for mass reduction in violence in society, rather than sports and education, we should employ fun and sex? Clearly this works well with bonobos, but we are a bit more evolved, are we not, having language and mass communication like radio, motion pictures, TV etc?
@actsrv9 Not for a moment am i saying that play has a bad side. I love playful tinkering in everything I do, and dogma and tradition can stifle everything creative, but using monkey sex as a catchy example is a tactic that will most likely backfire in the form of rape.
@8legsFreak i always thought sex was the CAUSE of all sorts of problems, not the cure. sex leads to abortion. homosexuality is the cause of massive hatred & violence. pedophelia, bestiality & other "taboos" are the cause of insanity & violence. if sex IS a cure for problems... um, WHICH sex? who's sex, what sort? heterosexual missionary? teenage virginal? what if BESTiality IS the best sex, hmm? what if NO SEX is the only cure? for which problems do you think sex (WHICH sex?) is the cure?
@mindnumber9 your examples proove the exact opposite, its not the sex that is bad, but the anti-sexual, taboo ridden superstitions. For example homosexuality is not the reason of hatred, this reason is that homophobes are stupid and brainwashed. Consensual sex between adult humans is always good, because it brings people together, and lack of sex is the reason of frustration, and thus- violence.
@8legsFreak there is right and there is wrong. know the difference and then do your very best to live on earth, amongst such violence & sickness. good luck.
good stuff. Now I have another excuse to shy away from my responsibilities. The more we play, the more we reverse the evolution that has already taken change.
The secret to evolution is play, laughter, dance & ritual... great stuff. All the relationships that I hold most dear and that are most productive include most if not all of thoe elements. How about you?
@lemonrind in that case, we should cage bonobos, violently rape them and then tie a boulder around their neck, drowning them to death in deep waters, because humans know that pedophelia is wrong and is a crime. someone needs to inform our great monkey incestors than ancestry is a sin.
@mindnumber9 Actually, I was implying that humans should lighten up when it comes to children and sex. To take a natural human activity and try to completely suppress it until the age of 18 is itself a perversion. Protecting children from their own bodies is harmful. These instincts will manifest themselves one way or another, sometimes leading to violence. Children who experiment with each other are placed on sex offender registries, as if they were criminals. We can learn much from bonobos.
@lemonrind oh. well in that case, i'm sold, signed and agreed: pedophelia is the way to freedom, health, happiness & heaven! it is also the direct road to a true living hell on earth but please, free up the criminals, get them out of prison, immediately! false imprisonment could cost the government A LOT OF MONEY. now, where can i get my horny hands and mouth on a fresh youngin', cuz i'm starving. i hear everybody's doing it, i sure don't want to miss out on THE best sex. i got banana fever!!!
@lemonrind i was lightening it up, nice n' bright.
bonobos can "freely engage in sex play with children" or in other words.... monkeys HAVE SEX with their young (are they even called children???). you made the statement, i ran with it. humans ARE NOT monkeys and human adults have ZERO right having sex with human children - or monkey children for that matter, too. i know that a human WOULD have sex with a monkey but would a monkey EVER have sex with a human child? think of that.
@lemonrind i am an angel from heaven, lemonhead - and i am here on earth for the sole purpose of telling humans that they ARE NOT MONKEYS, did not come from monkeys & must immediately cease all interest & study of monkeys. bonobos are monkeys, apes are monkeys & humans are NOT bonobos, apes, chimps or monkeys. in fact, humans evolved from the sea & our closest relative is a turtle. we are the turtles! amphibians & reptiles unite, we're gonna shock the monkeys with THE TRUTH!!! Hail the Sea!!!
@SamsDad99 i "ran my mouth" all over this section so i'm not completely certain of which comment you're referring to. the turtle one? giggles. WAIT, i might not want to be a turtle. do they have awesome sex or no - because if no, then i want to be whatever animal is having the greatest sex. how old do i have to be to have the greatest sex cuz right now, as a 35 year old human female... i can't shake the feeling that i'm missing out. suggestions, anyone??? giraffes? snakes? wolves!!! cows...
@MrXSpeaks DEFINITELY interested in some giraffe on giraffe / human on giraffe / giraffe on human porn. know any good sites? (why is it that humans will have sex with ANYTHING? are they the only species that does this? how often do giraffes hit it with lions or elephants?) i know how i'm spending my weekend!!!
@lemonrind I'm sorry, but I havn't seen much good at all come from abortions, hardship for children of unwed parents, or the emotional well being of anyone using sex as a toy rather than something meant for intimacy in a marriage. And no, euphoria is not 'well being', it's eroticism and self pleasure at the expense or by the use of someone else's body. Such handling of sex is selfish and that's a perversion of what sex is meant to be.
@lemonrind and I'm sorry you probably won't ever get to see how awesome it can really be when it's not being perverted. I hope you do though. It's more than just the physical stuff, which is great but pales in comparison to what else could be there along with the physical stuff.
@LightWthoutTheStatic Casual sex does not preclude the possibility of romantic sex. Nor does casual sex preclude the possibility of safe sex. Those are false dichotomies. I also vehemently object to your suggestion that casual sex always involves self pleasure at the expense of another person. Sex can be pleasurable for all parties.
If you choose to only have sex with one person in your entire life, that's fine, but I think that's senseless.
@tacticalbarrage - you are an American I assume. The so called 'missing link' you speak of can be demonstrated by studying the genetic make up - this has been done and if you weren't an idiot you would have known that or at the very least googled it.
Science does not have an agenda my dumb friend - it is evidence based using redundant testing, peer review and that it continues to grow as we learn more & disprove what we previously believed
Religion, on the other hand, is none of those things
@somestupiddude1234 I don't believe you for a second! What part am I wrong in? That science does have an agenda? Is it about biogeography? We could talk about Comparative Sequence Analysis but if you believe for a second that evolution isn't true then ok, you're mental - and oh, ps The World isn't flat!
@thenewvoice8 "you are an American I assume", they always are mate, they always are - the rest of the world advances while they become ever more absurd and isolationist
@tacticalbarrage - did you even watch her talk? Your comment unfortunately demonstrates your own ignorance for you have missed completely her points. Also, DNA did not conclusively prove what you said, in fact there is more archeological evidence supporting we humans, and related species now presumably extinct, have existed in much the same form we are now since the latter days of the dinasours. By the preponderance of evidence standard, both the missing link and DNA theory are missing the mark.
The humans that influence scientific thought are as prone to having an agenda as the humans who influence religious thought. The common denominator here is "humans".
Science answers the questions we ask -- not the questions we don't, so it sheds no light on what we don't know that we don't know. The questions we ask, and how we interpret the answers are subject to cultural zeitgeist and 'intellectual fashions' of the time.
@tacticalbarrage well considering that missing link is a misnomer i can't really unless you're more specific in what you're looking for. But the closest we've found to the "vertex" on the biological tree is Australopithecus aferensis
@imak179 i'll show you evidence that adam and eve existed: they are the PERSONIFICATION of the basic building blocks of life; chemical and electricity. in other words, homicidal mad men and crazy ladies who talk to red devils.
@imak179 If you want me to show you evidence that adam and eve existed, all I have to do is stand in front of you. Just because humans and apes share relatively similar dna doesn't necessarily mean that we came from the same place. i.e. if I look at pyrite (fools gold) and then real gold, according to most evolutionist's logic, I should assume that it is OVERWHELMINGLY probable that both come from the same chemical compound... which is idiotic to assume. I do believe adam and eve were true
If you think that your existence is evidence that the story of Adam and Eve is the truth, you don't understand the meaning of the word "evidence". You're right that the fact that humans and apes have similar DNA doesn't prove that we share a common ancestor, but because we know that genetic mutations occur (we can observe them) it is strong evidence that we do. Your existence is explained equally well by _any_ explanation of the origin of mankind, including evolution.
@frankroto my existence as evidence isn't based on my belief that evolution presents a false relationship (pyrite/gold) which is a FALSE relationship. My evidence is that less complex things do not beget more complex ones. Mutations occur, but they don't beget more complex structures. Mutations are overwhelmingly harmful and rarely innocuous (never truly beneficial). If I exist in complexity then I came from something more complex, and it is logical to believe in God.
@LightWthoutTheStatic "Mutations are overwhelmingly harmful and rarely innocuous (never truly beneficial)." we know this, thats why it takes billions of years. And as for the direction of complexity. 1) The birth of chemistry in the universe, simple to complex 2) Biological food chains, simple to complex 3) Cultural beliefs and interactions over time, simple to complex, etc etc Name one example of an emerging pattern in the universe that starts off complex and gets more simple.
@anananwar Supposing that time just happens to take care of everything because nothing else can account for evolution's explanation is rather weak, though the only semi rational thing left to do. To refute: 1) you suppose to have knowledge of the beginning of creation: absolutely impossible therefore not evidence. 2) food chains are based on consumption, not creation. a complex body takes in raw material (in whatever form) and utilizes it. Not an example of simple to complex.
@anananwar 3) cultural beliefs are based on interaction, which is very similar to consumption. We take in experiences and react to them. They also don't form complexity, but grow in numbers. Even natural trends in growth patterns are not displays of 'getting more complex' but instead an outplay of complex design which is in our HIGHLY intricate DNA. The fact that ONLY humans can organize matter creatively (exponential problem solving with increasing purpose) is display of God's work.
I won't fight evolution with you because I don't believe it is all random chance with fair dice and a linear type of efficiency as the only goal. These Bonobo's support my viewpoint with such inefficient but often adaptive behavior.
However, I will tell you that life in general, not just mutuation, DOES beget more complex structures. That does not block any religious or scientific beliefs that I am aware of.
Life fights Entropy. When you die you stop fighting it.
@VarykGerai Yet such a relatively small distance makes such a MASSIVE distance in culture, intelligence, and pure existence. You find that fact completely void?
@LightWthoutTheStatic Your logic makes no sense. Elements don't "come from" other chemical compounds, so your entire pyrite-gold analogy fails. 97% of our DNA is exactly the same as chimpanzees. Humans, on the other hand, all share 99.99% of the same DNA. The other 0.01% accounts for all the differences between humans, everything from height, weight, skin color etc. If 0.01% can produce such variety within a species, 3% can definitely produce the differences between humans and apes.
@anananwar and apparently you have no understanding of philosophy. My analogy is based on a FALSE COMPARISON. Thank you for PROVING MY POINT. And as for "Don't try and use science to support unscientific claims." Please, PLEASE, go tell that to all the atheists who think they can disprove God with science. The existence of God is an unscientific claim because he is only received by faith, though he exists yet unseen regardless and retaining our capacity to chose Him or deny Him.
@imak179 The idea of a "missing link" is a deprecated fallacy. We have plenty of evidence of our familial relationship to the other Great Apes. Alongside the fossil evidence, there are MOUNTAINS of genetic evidence. That we are family with other Great Apes is a fact. :o) No need to pander to the creationist wingnuts.
Play is essential, indeed, and play does not include money. Evolution for humans includes keeping technology but transcending money. It is called a Resource-Based Economy.
Why? Why would 37 people dislike this? Seriously, there could be only one reason that any dote would come bumbling along and click dislike on this video, and that's because it contains the word evolution, and doesn't follow that word with nonsensical pseudo-science. Shameful behavior, those who clicked dislike.
@JImmy4336 People can deny evolution because just as you believe in the evidence put forward by evolution theorists they can believe in other evidence for other theories.
TED talks are officially fucked. All they are these days are just pseudo intellectual garbage.....they used to be amazing, now the speakers don't even make valid arguments, just round about ideas that point at some unreachable hippie utopia, trying to make us feel all warm and fuzzy inside to win you over.
@Caineheist No I really disagree. You cant sum up the variety of talks in one way like that, least of all such a negative way. Some are a bit cheesy, others are pretty mind blowing, others informative, others just fun....to be honest I knew some people were going to start saying *TED talks has gone all (fill in the blank)*
While you were out GOOFING OFF, we humans were conquering worlds and harnessing the power of electricity!! We're SO well-evolved that we can now study YOU (for fun) and create pretentious lectures of how we should be more "like you" (as if we didn't "play around" enough already).
P.S. Think you're original? We've been grabbing each others balls for CENTURIES, homie!!11!!11!!!
@qdadahu I'm not even sure what you're trying to say. In any event, one doesn't "praise" evolution anymore than they "praise" gravity. We simply acknowledge it and attempt to use that information for our own good. In this video, that good is a social one.
@icetrey32 sex is just one part of it, without play you wont develope trust and thats what we need as humans in order to prevent us from destroying ourselves.
yeah females fuck as many males as possible so the males don't know which offspring is theirs. if they knew which offspring were from their rival mates they'd kill them and even at times eat them. we could learn a lot from them....
This lady studies Bonobos? She's probably wild in the sack

You not only mentioned naive assumption (or point of view) about "the role of playing" but also failed to describe how "playing" can be a button to rediscover creativity, fellowship & wonder. Look, just like you, someone will come up with such a misled idea as "hey! bonobo apes are our ancestors; they live in jungle and they are "happy". So, just like bonobo apes, we need to live in jungles so that we will be better in our social, economic and political status."

The main point of this talk eluded me until the last paragraph or so, in which she stated that playing helps us adapt. She never really showed any examples of one playing and thus adapting, nor did she explain the process by which it would happen.
This talk just felt scattered and unfocused.

@mindnumber9 A bonobo is not a monkey. Bonobos are apes, or homindae. Gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and bonobos (among others) all belong to the homindae family. So no, humans are not monkeys, but we are apes.

Bonobos seem to be quite interesting, and I've never known that much about them. However, other than the introductory evolutionary tree she shows, she seems to be completely ignoring that we are NOT DIRECT descendents of Bonobos. Of course, we will share many characteristics, but we also have many differences.

@8legsFreak i always thought sex was the CAUSE of all sorts of problems, not the cure. sex leads to abortion. homosexuality is the cause of massive hatred & violence. pedophelia, bestiality & other "taboos" are the cause of insanity & violence. if sex IS a cure for problems... um, WHICH sex? who's sex, what sort? heterosexual missionary? teenage virginal? what if BESTiality IS the best sex, hmm? what if NO SEX is the only cure? for which problems do you think sex (WHICH sex?) is the cure?
mindnumber9 10 months ago
@mindnumber9 your examples proove the exact opposite, its not the sex that is bad, but the anti-sexual, taboo ridden superstitions. For example homosexuality is not the reason of hatred, this reason is that homophobes are stupid and brainwashed. Consensual sex between adult humans is always good, because it brings people together, and lack of sex is the reason of frustration, and thus- violence.

@lemonrind in that case, we should cage bonobos, violently rape them and then tie a boulder around their neck, drowning them to death in deep waters, because humans know that pedophelia is wrong and is a crime. someone needs to inform our great monkey incestors than ancestry is a sin.
mindnumber9 11 months ago
@mindnumber9 Actually, I was implying that humans should lighten up when it comes to children and sex. To take a natural human activity and try to completely suppress it until the age of 18 is itself a perversion. Protecting children from their own bodies is harmful. These instincts will manifest themselves one way or another, sometimes leading to violence. Children who experiment with each other are placed on sex offender registries, as if they were criminals. We can learn much from bonobos.

@lemonrind I'm sorry, but I havn't seen much good at all come from abortions, hardship for children of unwed parents, or the emotional well being of anyone using sex as a toy rather than something meant for intimacy in a marriage. And no, euphoria is not 'well being', it's eroticism and self pleasure at the expense or by the use of someone else's body. Such handling of sex is selfish and that's a perversion of what sex is meant to be.

LightWthoutTheStatic 11 months ago
@LightWthoutTheStatic Casual sex does not preclude the possibility of romantic sex. Nor does casual sex preclude the possibility of safe sex. Those are false dichotomies. I also vehemently object to your suggestion that casual sex always involves self pleasure at the expense of another person. Sex can be pleasurable for all parties.
If you choose to only have sex with one person in your entire life, that's fine, but I think that's senseless.

The humans that influence scientific thought are as prone to having an agenda as the humans who influence religious thought. The common denominator here is "humans".
Science answers the questions we ask -- not the questions we don't, so it sheds no light on what we don't know that we don't know. The questions we ask, and how we interpret the answers are subject to cultural zeitgeist and 'intellectual fashions' of the time.

@imak179 If you want me to show you evidence that adam and eve existed, all I have to do is stand in front of you. Just because humans and apes share relatively similar dna doesn't necessarily mean that we came from the same place. i.e. if I look at pyrite (fools gold) and then real gold, according to most evolutionist's logic, I should assume that it is OVERWHELMINGLY probable that both come from the same chemical compound... which is idiotic to assume. I do believe adam and eve were true
LightWthoutTheStatic 11 months ago
@LightWthoutTheStatic
If you think that your existence is evidence that the story of Adam and Eve is the truth, you don't understand the meaning of the word "evidence". You're right that the fact that humans and apes have similar DNA doesn't prove that we share a common ancestor, but because we know that genetic mutations occur (we can observe them) it is strong evidence that we do. Your existence is explained equally well by _any_ explanation of the origin of mankind, including evolution.
frankroto 11 months ago 2
@frankroto my existence as evidence isn't based on my belief that evolution presents a false relationship (pyrite/gold) which is a FALSE relationship. My evidence is that less complex things do not beget more complex ones. Mutations occur, but they don't beget more complex structures. Mutations are overwhelmingly harmful and rarely innocuous (never truly beneficial). If I exist in complexity then I came from something more complex, and it is logical to believe in God.
LightWthoutTheStatic 11 months ago
@LightWthoutTheStatic "Mutations are overwhelmingly harmful and rarely innocuous (never truly beneficial)." we know this, thats why it takes billions of years. And as for the direction of complexity. 1) The birth of chemistry in the universe, simple to complex 2) Biological food chains, simple to complex 3) Cultural beliefs and interactions over time, simple to complex, etc etc Name one example of an emerging pattern in the universe that starts off complex and gets more simple.
anananwar 11 months ago
@anananwar Supposing that time just happens to take care of everything because nothing else can account for evolution's explanation is rather weak, though the only semi rational thing left to do. To refute: 1) you suppose to have knowledge of the beginning of creation: absolutely impossible therefore not evidence. 2) food chains are based on consumption, not creation. a complex body takes in raw material (in whatever form) and utilizes it. Not an example of simple to complex.
LightWthoutTheStatic 11 months ago
@anananwar 3) cultural beliefs are based on interaction, which is very similar to consumption. We take in experiences and react to them. They also don't form complexity, but grow in numbers. Even natural trends in growth patterns are not displays of 'getting more complex' but instead an outplay of complex design which is in our HIGHLY intricate DNA. The fact that ONLY humans can organize matter creatively (exponential problem solving with increasing purpose) is display of God's work.
LightWthoutTheStatic 11 months ago
@LightWthoutTheStatic
I won't fight evolution with you because I don't believe it is all random chance with fair dice and a linear type of efficiency as the only goal. These Bonobo's support my viewpoint with such inefficient but often adaptive behavior.
However, I will tell you that life in general, not just mutuation, DOES beget more complex structures. That does not block any religious or scientific beliefs that I am aware of.

@LightWthoutTheStatic Your logic makes no sense. Elements don't "come from" other chemical compounds, so your entire pyrite-gold analogy fails. 97% of our DNA is exactly the same as chimpanzees. Humans, on the other hand, all share 99.99% of the same DNA. The other 0.01% accounts for all the differences between humans, everything from height, weight, skin color etc. If 0.01% can produce such variety within a species, 3% can definitely produce the differences between humans and apes.
