Human evolution
Revisiting the Neanderthals without a sense of superiority
Perhaps some are beginning to back away from Darwinism without speaking its name. Just quietly starting to adopt other views.
Cooking skills in Australia at 65,000 years ago
The researchers say that these complex food preparation skills show that these people groups were technologically innovative and did not just forage, eating shellfish and such.
Unexpected complexity found in human heart – a use for the myocardial trabeculae
Cold Spring Harbor: “The researchers discovered that the shape of trabeculae affects the performance of the heart, suggesting a potential link to heart disease. ” Is this true only of human hearts? What about ancient ones?
Humans 200,000 years ago made beds of ash and grass
Some of the ash was from camphor wood, a medicinal herb. They must have known how to control fire if they had easy access to ash. Like the Neanderthals, they get smarter with each cycle of papers.
Early hominins (480,000 years ago) were—wait for it!—more sophisticated than thought
Maybe Darwinians should canvass at LinkedIn for a new subhuman.
Did humans really make the artifacts found at 29 kya in a cave in Mexico?
One suggestion is that the misshapen tools were made by novices. We likely need more discoveries to tell.
Handax crafted by Homo erectus 1.4 million years ago
Researcher: the bone hand ax “suggests that Homo erectus technology was more sophisticated and versatile than we had thought”
The “evolutionary origin” of string
120 thousand years ago, people appear to have twisted flax stems (the plant from which linen is derived) to make string.
Why we can’t cheat death by uploading our brains to the internet
It sounded like such a great idea, right? Robert J. Marks: Well, actually, that’s very interesting because I think there’s a presupposition on Musk’s part that we are indeed algorithmic. That we can actually be represented by an algorithm, by a computer code… There’s good foundations and algorithmic information theory and computer science, which suggest Read More…
Neanderthals showed common sense in determining which animals to hunt
Treated as if it were a big surprise: For Martisius’ tiny lissoir fragments, the nondestructive plastic bag method seemed perfect. You get fewer molecules to analyze, says Frido Welker, who performed the ZooMS analysis for Martisius, but at least it provides the possibility of identifying a species without having to take a sample. “For bone Read More…
How a liberal seminary prof started to see the point of ID
Shedinger: “ Darwinism… in more recent times has grown into a philosophical grand narrative designed to naturalize and normalize a fully materialist worldview.” Indeed. And that’s WHY there is so much controversy over teaching Darwinism in tax-supported schools with compulsory attendance.
Why guys are fathers and gorillas aren’t: The real story
If one is not an evolutionary psychologist, the answer is obvious.
Now we talk of a “Neanderthal Renaissance”?
It’s amazing what the Neanderthals have learned in the fifty years yer news writer has heard anything about them.
An example of interwoven protein code (HT, Wiki!)
Here, in human mitochondrial DNA — note the BLUE code start and the RED code stop; all HT to Wiki publishing against known ideological interest: Complex interwoven code is of course doubly functionally specific, so it is exponentially harder to account for, other than by exceedingly sophisticated and creative intelligently directed configuration. Indeed, when I Read More…
