Much interesting as these lectures are, it is a real pity that the audio recording lacks quality and volume enough. Uploaders should always upload files, instead of at the volume level that they personally find comfortable, at 100%, for viewers to be able to select their favourite.

God I love UCTV. THANK YOU!

The first lecture is definitely the best

One of the roles played by the older adults, came about as the result of older people sleeping less and tending to sleep lighter than younger people. Meaning some one was almost always awake and watching for problems. Then, of course, the survival experience of the older members becomes essential in bad times, times which the elders lived through before. The old female, the matron of a group of elephants, are the ones that remember the water holes that remained wet during other long dry spells. That is where the idea of elephants never forgetting comes from. Primitive people did not half to take care of the old, but they chose to, for a variety of reasons. Who takes care of the young ones, too young to help mothers with the foraging and too young to be useful in the hunt? Grand parents. The elderly members.

9:04 - Ok, well and good. But the amount of energy required to maintain a certain body temperature is proportion to , not weight. So those larger organisms also don't have to produce as much waste heat per unit of mass as the smaller ones do. That would need to be factored in as well. This has nothing to do with how the body is energy - if the skin is maintained at a certain temperature, a certain amount of heat will leave to the atmosphere every second.

Excellent, these are all things that speculative evolutionary types ignore.

5:10 seems like a way to solve that would be with large brains. Yes, we cannot keep having babies forever, but intelligence is useful even in elders. They can know things to help teach, they can also help with children.

i wish i could understand what the subjects were saying.

There was an interview of a living hunter-gatherer about the meaning of cave paintings. He explained that the paintings allowed the hunter to enter into the the mind or spirit of the animal, becoming the animal. I think the intense need to survive made people believe in magic very deep in the past. That is the roots of it. The first "religions" or belief systems seem to be animist.

dying his hair does not make him look younger. Its very obvious when his beard and his hair don't match. Looks terrible.
