Why We Prevailed: Evolution and the Battle for Dominance

Ғылым және технология

We once shared the planet with Neanderthals and other human species. Some of our relatives may have had tools, language and culture. Why did we thrive while they perished? Join evolutionary biologists, geneticists and anthropologists as they share profound insights about the origin of man and retrace our singular journey from fledgling prototype to the most dominant species on Earth.

    Not quite. Neanderthals had less upper arm mobility. Specifically throwing motions were not as efficient for them. We can also see a high frequency of terrible skeletal damage to neanderthal males. They likely attacked large prey animals with spears in melee. Not very safe. Sapiens specialised in lighter throwing spears.

    Social human hierarchy seem to be influenced in power of such things as knowledge and other things like that of psychology and sociology. Though terretorial battles even of the mind ( ideas and concepts) through altruism and violence occur there is this battle who holds and controls such powers constantly. It is that also some beliefs and superstitions fact based or not influence even further the habits of individuals. In turn influences what people learn, have bias, and share in experience. This in turn influences from such experiences the whole as community or group. There is an experiment with babies with puppets. The puppet they regect verses the one they liked. Some babies wanted to punish the puppet that felt bad in tossing it or some form. The experiments were of foods and boxes. The way that children observe and conform for evolutionary survival is interesting. Do remember too that adaptation of how smart or strong may help or may not the individual, but not always will genes be passed to the next generation. I have a feeling many forget and claim superficial reasons (like stereotypes) for a sure success when other wise that is not the fact.

    A sound bite to consider, human nature is not confined by our nature. Aggression is very appropriate yo survive in nature. However, our ability to construct complete environments within the natural environment means to me, we can set up dynamics that incentivise connection and cooperation in mutual health and well-being. This is adaptation meme mutations, ontop of a genetic foundation . Mt assumption is environment incentivises behavior, dominance comes in with large populations, eventually of anonomous strangers. Very different than the population who evolved knowing every human in a 500 square mile area.

    I wonder how many ancient animals used other animals as servants in hunting, gathering, and nomadic ways. Humans seem to find ways to use other animals as livestock and farming, but as well for nomadic travel and sending of messages long distance. How resourcful and inventive weather in battle or in gain other ways I think has also influenced growth in population. One way or another it seems communication and how languages evolved played some part as well over territories.

Witch is worse for your body heroin or marijuana? Why is it legal to get millions of people hooked on heroin based drugs but if someone has a natural growing plan that doesn't cause any of the problems that the other does you go to jail. I don't even smoke weed but the fact is as an adult human man I should be able to do anything I want as long as I'm not hurting anyone else. That is if I weren't a slave that had to follow my masters rules/laws. I probably could have explained that better but I just don't understand how so many people don't care that they are brain washed slaves.

    Trent P​​​​​​​ so baby to child being human trafficked ...they want to be slaves or abused as slaves? People want to be slaves to addictions consciously in desire from birth to be so , or when does this happen whatever addiction? One can be addicted to drugs even if legal...can be addicted to gambling among other things not drugs...and assumptions and stereotypes of things relating to addictions alone doesn't change a thing. Logical fallacies about how slavery has always been around doesn't help either...subjective definition to whatever is from a dictionary accepted. It is a pattern to breath and try to survive nature too. No one is born without ignorance, and not everyone is allowed so easily to look on information. Some reasons of censorship isn't always one group or another , but many cults do it besides indoctrinating kids whatever psychological methods. Besides whatever laws or rules whatever culture world wide in history...people do things any how besides consequences. All things have risk and dose is the poison. Even oxygen can kill , but that is besides the point. I never smoked weed or had anything illegal. I agree people should be free to choose and this especially if it doesn't have harm to others intentionally or otherwise. Though there are no perfections to this. I wish more were responsible or desired it bravely.

    What I have learned on my own in 2005 and through a Nutritional Health year long course and subsequent certification: Everything was running quite smoothly until chemical engineers and Botanists manipulated the Wheat, Barley, Rye, Corn, Tobacco and Soy to grow on any terrain. These enhanced plants forced the adaptation of bacteria and yeast that thrived on these robust plant source foods. Foods mostly meant for cow and pig feed. Since they are inexpensive sources of fiber and cows can digest due to their numerous stomachs for proper breakdown and absorption of nutrients. Once these newly formed grains were engineered in 1930, and sent to various poverty stricken countries, they have naturally taken over as in replaced permanently throughout the Earth. Our human digestive systems have taken the brunt of these early experimental GMO’s. These stealth, highly adapted, bad bacterial and yeast are outnumbering our good gut and intestinal biomes. This processing started the beginning of the incline of disorders and disease, and the direct decline in physical and cognitive health and wellness of mankind.

    Climate change occurs when changes in Earth's climate system result in new weather patterns that remain in place for an extended period of time. This length of time can be as short as a few decades to as long as millions of years. Scientists have identified many episodes of climate change during Earth's geological history; more recently since the industrial revolution the climate has increasingly been affected by human activities driving global warming,[1] and the terms are commonly used interchangeably in that context.[2] Wikipedia

    it because it over populated with building and houses roads infrastructure, etc weather and nature does not care what is s built in it way , the will be the same weather pattern earthquake volcano etc It is people and building that is in it path of nature.

    my personal feeling - animal domestication we had dogs. there is no evidence that any other human species ever domesticated wolves the advantages this gave us are incredible, if you stop to think about it

    Humans didn't domesticate dogs it was dogs that came to humans because of food availability. So who's smater? Current genetic & archeological info also has shown that wolves evolved from wild dogs. Dogs came first. Knowledge must be kept current as it is ever evolving itself. Keep learning.

    Also I wonder of slavery and how that may have influeced why humans came out on top of the human hierarchy. The best things like food would go to the most powerful and so would chances of mating. Seems to be in many various cultures of the world and influence of health care available. Though how different are people today under these sorts of things known about the past?

    we have very little evidence how stone age people actually lived socially. We only know there was violence committed towards entire (small) groups or families. This could have been simple robbery, family or group feuds or part of genocide or tribe hostility. The only evidence I would see towards slavery in indigenous people at this stage of development would come from indigenous tribes in the Americas partly practicing slavery. Actually there are so many conflicting theories on what are the best mating strategies for stone age humans and there is no way of finding out, how dating and mating occurred, that I find it best to ignore such theories. The only way to confirm them, would be if we found remains of family structures with a male fathering children from several women - this would suggest a patriarchal way of unequal distribution of female mates. As far as I know, there is no evidence of strongly hierarchical societal structures in the early stoneages, mostly way after agriculture and first civilizations were established (for instance Babylon - where again interestingly, we dont know what the private life and dating and mating and actual societal structure looked like)

    There are FIVE information codes in every cell, aside from blood cells. The five are the DNA code, the mtDNA code, the epigenome code, the 'sugar' code that lines the surface of every cell, and the lipid code making up cell membranes. All these had to work in unison. The makeup of these for life are mathematical impossibilities-by-chance. To say the ribosome sums up evolution is ludicrous. That is defined as a 10^50 or more. It's far too complex without outside intelligence to make it happen. On top of this, the Intelligent Designer is a master chemist with 65 different hormones in the human body. We are a creation.. Not an evolution. Quite simply everyone, there is a biological system already in place...therefore God-engineered, logistically...doing all of the classic adaptations. What is this biological system? It's called the epigenome. It's actions is called epigenetics. This includes adaptations seen in Darwin Finches without any natural selection of DNA mutations. Instead it's modifications by chemical tagging turning genes up and down or on and off for different structures such as new beaks for new diets. This is FAST...doing its job in just 2 generations, not millions of years by 'evolution'. Evolution is a scam folks. We are an intelligent design by Jesus Christ. This means he offers a free gift of eternal life just for believing in it and believing he resurrected. Take the free gift today!!!

    Love the rebaked racism in the idea Neanderthal descendants are the most related and special ‘very successful group.’ Love even more how a stage full of smart people did not challenge him intellectually and let another guy say dark continent as if it was an ok thing. I mean really? The empty Africa idea has been long since debunked and is on the European racist heap, but somehow people aren’t intellectually strong enough to hold open information with out going back to ignorant racist tropes.

His sophomoric and misguided questions killed any chance for a coherent and informative conversation. Why is he there exactly? His dumb questions contributing FALSE conceptions, perceptions, and understanding of human evolution. He took the SCIENCE out of the discussion.

    As a Christian scientist, I will make some predictions: 1. Man will never create life from non-living material. 2. Man will never find life outside of earth. 3. The world is not getting any better. And it will get continually worse until the day Jesus returns. 4. As time goes along, the book of Revelation will prove itself true. Read it and watch for the signs!

    Some creator mate to put us on a planet that is 99% inhospitable to humans without technology. Leave us on a world full of predators with no natural defenses in frail bodies that age and become ill in so many ways that doctors train for decades just to be able to diagnose and treat (with modern medicine) one organ system failing. That's how many ways or bodies have to fail. Planet wise 70% is filled with toxic sea water which is too salty and causes rapid dehydration. the 30% of it that's land is mostly hostile as well. We can't survive in deserts. UV light burns our skin to a crisp around the equator and the further north we go the worse it gets because it's too cold and impossible to live without technology. There's not enough oxygen at high altitutudes. ect. Were adapted to live in a very narrow band around the equator in savannah's because there's to many lethal predators in rainforests. As long as we stay in the shade in the savannah we're fine. If I was god and I was creating a world and the human body. I'd leave out creating deadly viruses and bacteria and The whole planet would be would have a nice comfortable 20 degrees C temperature maybe a little cooler at night with a thick ozone layer so we would never get sunburnt. Humans if we had to die would just die painlessly after a certain age. Cancer wouldn't exist and so on.
