[@seditt5146]

Na see, its what takes place once in the cave that really matters. Sure the whole survival side of things would be similar since it simply works. Hunt, gather... not die. However with that free time much MUCH more advanced behaviors take place that is worlds apart from any primate on this planet. Them using a stick to get ants out of a log or a rock to crack a nut is pretty impressive yet here we are discussing this on a single crystal of sand in which we carved specific channels such that electrons can flow in such a way to perform calculations. The width of the gap between these two things is so incredibly vast its not even on the same chart. It requires precognition not only for our own future but the futures of our children's children's children to even begin. I am not sure as I have seen little to no evidence to suggest chimps are capable of recognizing the future of their species as a whole instead of simply ones own life.

Recently ive been thinking that perhaps emotionally we are indistinguishable from apes. It explains why despite being capable of logical thinking we are rarely persuaded by it, instead making decisions based on unavoidable beliefs and biases that we often do not realise have an emotional and instinctual basis. We constantly act outsude their better judgement, even to the point of harming ourselves, yet we can create layers and layers of rationale, intricate hypotheses, fantasies, beliefs, moral justifications around the reason why we do things or why we think something. Our brains allow us to do this, it makes sense to me that we may not have changed much emotionally and instinctually from the other apes, our brains are built on the brains of old, reptilian, mammalian etc. Nature seems to only extend our capabilities, create more options to which we can (for lack of a better word) express ourselves. I'm sure if bonobos or chimpanzees developed the same mental and language capabilities as humans they too would be justifying their natures in similar complex ways, and struggling with cultural changes as we do now. It is true that groups of primates in seperate areas can develop different cultures in something as simple as the way they hunt or forage.

Even the branches that died out still serve a very useful purpose in the lessons they teach us about how our own biology works, how species interact with each other and their environments, and similarly, the types of damage we risk doing by our own actions if we aren't careful.

Humans did not evolve from bonobos, chimps, or orangutans. 40 M years ago, a tree dwelling mammal evolved a branch intp bipedal bonobos, apes, chimps, etc. Then about 7 million years ago the tree dwelling mammal branched into other bipedal mammals that eventually evolved into homosapiens, which is that we are. This is diverging evolution, when there is a branch and the species evolves into two separate species. This is a basic generalization.

30:20 The narrator appears to be suggesting that cranial volume is a reliable measure of intelligence and capacity for complex abstract cognition. While this mostly holds for hominids, - there is no direct positive correlation between intelligence and brain volume in the same specie, and in general, across mammals, large brains aren't always an indicator of superior intelligence. Dolphins, for example, have a much larger brain-to-body ratio than humans, however, most of that tissue is tasked with hunting and breeding in a 3-D environment. So the relationship isn't that simple. Rather than just volume, - what also matters a lot is the level of innervation of tissue, and function, or rather what the tissue is used for. If we take Cognitive Tradeoff idea seriously, then what separates us from all other animals - is how we use the small patch of tissue across Prefrontal and Parietal lobes. Chimps use it for superior visual memory and humans use it, in connection with Wernike area to behold worlds and universes and to talk about talking about thinking about thinking, the way I just did. The tradeoff, of course is that we suck at remembering positions of multiple objects we saw only for a split second. Chimps are simply unbeatable at those tasks, however - Complex Abstract Cognition, (that which makes us human) confers an enormous advantage to Homo not-so-sapiens.

Without going into the details of those though, in general I think the Adam & Eve story is more "true" than "factual," if that makes sense, yet I don't see that fact as detracting from the truth of the Bible. To summarize, the first human beings were made by God and were innocent, but when tempted to do evil and rebel against God, they chose to do so. Afterward, their innocence was lost and they were no longer able to stand in God's presence and were doomed to experience pain, toil, and the eventuality of death. Having said this, I suspect this simple summary will not be comprehensive enough to answer your concerns in their entirety. As such, I would like to ask, where specifically do you see conflict between that narrative and natural history as we currently understand it?

@@Numba003 well when I was 7 years when I was a religious catholic I believed that God put the soul in homo sapiens than in 2010 when I was 13 when savotee Pablo sequenced the neanderthal genes and found that Europeans and Asians had a bit of homo sapien genes I was frightened cause I am Indian there was a possibility of me having neanderthal genes I thought that if neanderthals I had neanderthal genes I dint have a soul and would not go to an after life but now I don't believe in a soul or anything . Just out of curiosity what do you believe that the common ancestor of neanderthals denisovans and homo sapiens had a soul or one of the homo sapiens only had a soul what do you believe

​@@Numba003wow, this is such great vocab. Also, for some reason I read this with a Yorkshire accent 😭😭 I'm really interested in where this conversation will follow. Perhaps, do you believe/think that the order within God created the Earth stated in the Bible, is factually incorrect? Like maybe Genesis isn't all that important when compared to the massage of all the other books in the bible. I haven't considered Genesis to be factual for years now, but rather I suspect it being an introduction to the Bible for beginners and Children/newer generations. To me, Genesis seems to be, as stated above, a story made to grasp the idea of the Lord and his all mightyness, rather than to be factual. As far as I'm aware, complex civilisations only started around 12 000 years ago, giving enough time for the language, Hebrew to develop. Some place in the Bible I vividly remember the names of all the generations linking King David to Jesus, and Abraham. But even all those names on that list don't exceed 12 000 years, which leads me to believe that Abrahamic religions are relatively new compared to any religions prior to the ice age. Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading ❤

@@jadenalmeida8592 Hello friend. First off, thank you for your polite reply. Regarding the exact nature of the soul, human evolution, and prehistory, I am sorry to say that I do not actually have much of an opinion because I feel as though I have very little to no information beyond speculation upon which to base such an opinion. I believe that we human beings are ourselves souls which have the bodies we do. At present, I think at some point in the past God made our earliest ancestors this way and endowed them with this quality of soul (which is where I think a lot of if not all of the meaning in "created in God's image" comes from), though when or the specifics of that are open to speculation. I have no opinion because I do not think I have any reliable way of knowing that beyond speculation, and I do not feel qualified to speculate on such things. I'm sorry if this reply is disappointing. Thank you for taking the time to read it, and I look forward to your next reply.

[@saladinbob]

So I've a question about the Chimpanzee war. How do we know they didn't learn it from us humans? There's no shortage of conflict, and we know they have the capability to learn, so perhaps they learned warfare from us? Just a thought.

[@jamiecullum5567]

Because its pretty obvious they didnt. How do you imagine them learning it from us?

[@gurk_the_magnificent9008]

It’s more that their actions in the Chimpanzee War displayed a much more sophisticated level of social organization and grasp of strategy and tactics than anyone expected. It wasn’t a case where two groups of chimps happened to run into each other, had a fight, and one side won; one of the groups made a conscious, deliberate group decision to the wipe the other group out, developed a plan to do that, and worked together to carry it out. Animals will fight among each other, of course, and violently predate their own and other species, but this was the first time we had witnessed anything other than humans engaging in organized violence in pursuit of an abstract goal. The cognitive ability to do that isn’t something that can be learned.

[@firemangan]

Warfare isn’t really a human invention, species have had inter species conflicts for as long as life have existed. Ants have been around long before we came into being and ant colonies are pretty much known to go into conflict with other ant colonies.

[@theflyingdutchguy9870]

a lot of social animals dp something like war. ringtail lemurs do. some mongoose species do. ofcourse lions do. hyena's as well. a lot of insects like wasps ( including ants and bees) and termites do as well. both interspecies and different species against each other. humans have just taken it to the next level.

When you think about it, evolution is much more special than having been created as a design, we are the product of many random number generators essentially. If even one thing was different we would not exist at all.

Yes, we are apes. Deal with it YEC

[@nikeisagreekgoddess4135]

We really like to think we are more sophisticated than we really are. It's part of our biology to do so, just like we individually overestimate our attractiveness, intelligence, etc. It is a paradox that the very brains that gave us language and science, are the same that lie to us about self-perception. Unlike dogs and other animals, we may be able to identify ourselves when looking at mirror, but we are still incapable of being realistically self-aware.

[@colinleat8309]

I'm thoroughly enjoying your doc channels. I'm learning so much! As other comments have said, we really aren't that different from or so much more evolved from our Ape ancestors. We just like to think we are. 🤘😁🖖🇨🇦

[@Overlorddz]

I always think the supreme qualities humans tend to value themselves on compared to any other animal is literally the most animalistic and predatory trait we have. By elevating our species above the enemy rich kingdom we not only protect and prolong ourselves but we also have a safe distance at which to kill the other species. The fact it's ridiculous to many people to consider not eating meat or including animal rights in law enforcement is very strange considering the favours we do our own. Fascinating video!

[@Jack_Torrance.]

It is their choice not to eat meat. The problem comes when they start demanding everyone else do as well. The environmental wack jobs are now insisting there be no meat in human diets to slow global warming. On the other side, there are 16,000 scientists that have signed a study that states there has been no more climate change than there has been since the, "Little Ice Age." But, that gives no more power to the wealthy-elite, nor is there money to be made with that finding. Thus, few hear about it. I will eat vegetables and meat as long as I want to. No environmental freak will stop me. I am going hunting this weekend, in a diesel vehicle.

[@corylwillrise]

God elevated man above the animals for a reason: because the animals cannot choose to love the Creator God. The premise of your belief is to worship the creature over the Creator. This is the root cause of your convoluted belief in equity among the species.

[@noncomplacent]

Obviously there's a difference between humans and animals and we notice and value that. Never seen a gorilla do open heart surgery. We don't have to be animalistic to notice that. There are plenty of people who think the way you do about meat, animal rights, etc. Animals have no concept of rights at all. People are supposed to choose civility over animal instincts. It's sad that you have to make this comment because so many people act like animals.

[@airpower7692]

So the title of this is the same thing of asking does a duck still have bird feathers

[@JustSomeGuyLV]

We are literally the modern apes, so yes we all have ape brain. That's not the bizarre or disgusting part. The disgusting part is that many humans refuse to use logic and rational reasoning over their instinctive violent behavior and their ignorant beliefs.
