  • Originally we were one of the species "homosapiens", the special and only species who had ability to progress intellectually, which made them modern humans. Originally we all were animals, or animals-like. We have all same needs as animals. The only difference is that humans have a distinction in ethics.

  • @handsomeman9000 Modern humans ARE Homo sapiens. And we STILL ARE animals - not animal-like, but animals plain and simple. And no - the only distinction is a gene called HAR1F, which is active in the early development of human brains and is largely responsible for the enormous size of the cerebral cortex, the center of art, science, music, mathematics, and religious dogma.

  • My name is Rustam. Here is my theory of evolution of the human being. It is in progression since we are progressings if not always physically, but mentally. We didnt come from monkeys or aps, because why there are still other monkeys n the world who havent made it ti become humans.

  • @handsomeman9000 But don't you see that the only reason people can't understand that humans didn't evolve from modern monkeys and apes is that they hold on to this misconception of progress? We didn't evolve from modern monkeys and apes. And our evolution is not progressive. Individual people may progress physically and intellectually but remember that individuals don't evolve, but successive populations do. There is no trend of evolving toward "the human standard" in other apes. Period.

  • @handsomeman9000 that is the same as to say there should not be any people in england as there is people in Australia

  • This video contains Gould's most valuable and fascinating point, that Darwin avoided using the word "evolution" because it implied an assumption that humanity was somehow inevitable or a progressive result of some plan that we humans have spent many millennium imaging and inventing Gods and other myths to "explain." Too bad so many of us remain arrogant enough to miss that realization.

  • If, by definition, a dumb fuck is someone who rejects a theory on the basis of lack of proof when in fact the evidence in favour of that theory is irrefutable and plumps for an alternative theory for which there is absolutely no proof whatsoever, then I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you my friend are a dumb fuck!!

  • why does half the comment i make not show up even tho it says it's posted??

  • Ask YouTube :)

  • i find it very funny that these people call people that believe in god backwoods brainwashed hillbillies but when u people worship a man it's ok? lmao..

  • I don't see how this applies at all to the video. Where do you see such denouncements. And where is this worship you speak of?

  • i see it everyday it's ok to say u believe this mans theory "no proof" but if i say i believe in the bible im a dumb fuck.i see many gaping holes in this theory.1 being if we are all apart of this same branch and evolved from the latter then why can't we fuck monkeys and have offspring?another huge problem is mathamatics does'nt support it either.1 would reproduction as much fucking that goes on we would see every step of the process. you would have a jump from arm to bat wing or fin.debate me?

  • We're on the same ape branch, but not the same species branch. Since we're different species, why would we be able to mate? For speciation to work, separate populations need to be kept separate by barriers against gene flow. Humans mating with monkeys would be a disproof of evolution. And we do see almost every step of the process of the evolution of something like a fin into a leg. It's also important to remember that not every organism is preserved as a fossil.

  • Funny, but the only person I see claiming belief in God makes you dumb seems to be yourself. In fact, this specific speech by Gould seems to imply that the invention of religion by humans is an incredibly unique and clever bit of invention on the part of those humans who've spent ages creating religion.

  • what si the name of that badass footage with cgi showing a variety of species who have broken off thru evolution?

  • It's called The Tree of Life. Search it in YouTube. It's by David Attenborough.

  • Great job on this, lectures are so much more lively with images. Very well done, looking forward to future parts.

  • I just released the final part (V) last night. Thanks.

  • Are you uploading the next part? :D

  • I probably won't be working on it until next week. But I am going to upload, don't worry ;)

  • thank you

  • Show your thanks by subscribing >:-) lol just kidding, you don't have to.....

  • already done

  • ok, no more lol. That was like auto-spammed...
