Evolution Ep6: The Minds Big Bang (4/6)

Between 100,000 and 50,000 years ago, something happened that triggered a creative, technological, and social explosion, that allowed humans to dominate the planet. What forces may have contributed to the emergence of the modern human mind?

I think the people of the Bible Belt should go live with the Neanderthals. I wonder which group would be smarter. De-evolved Homo sapiens (Christians) or Neanderthals.

To put it simply:

Religions = Inacurate, untestable and needlessly complicated.

Sciences = acurate, testable and getting less complex and more easily understood with each generation.

Simple.

is it just me or does it sound like this video is being narrated by qui-gon jinn?

@revkins Is there a difference?

@AppleSouffle What are you talking about?

Onetocome, woah, dude, that's really twisted.

I think you need to talk with someone nice and wise who can help you sort things out. Seriously, you sound like you have a lot of conflicting stuff to deal with. Best wishes.

As for evolution, the evidence is immense. Look at any of the human origins videos. There's lots of fossil evidence, climate evidence, stone tools and butchered bones. Heck, cave paintings go back at least 39,000 years. Way more than 6,000 years.

So when you get right down to it, chimps are scheming back-stabbers. And humans are much better at it. But ultimately, amoebae are far more honest and sincere. That's progress for you.

@exupstreetfighter There is no evidencen for evolution, what you see is evidence for creation, you just call it evolution, but it's creation what you are seeing. And that my friend is what you don't want to accept. You are the one that has no evidence for evolution, because when you say evolution, you automatically mean no God. And since you don't know how all this started, you therefore have no evidence.

@onetocome mmm Are you retarded? Animals have evolved just as well and their "faces" aswell. Our faces are NOT completely different from "some" animals. Look at chimpanzees, you can clearly detect a human-like face structure.

I love Niam Neeson's voice. Can recognize that anywhere haha.

The theory of social complexity driving the evolution of larger brains is a fascinating idea I had not heard of. Thanks for posting!
