Evolutionary Foundations of Human Uniqueness Symposium

What made us human? In 2014, the ASU Institute of Human Origins received a $4.9 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation to investigate how key traits in human evolution played crucial roles in our emergence. Large brains, long life spans, social cooperation, and complex communication skills are among those behavioral, cognitive, and emotional differences that set us apart.
This public symposium presented the results of research projects that interweave some answers into how we became human. From "bones and stones" to coastal foraging by early modern humans to cooperation in warfare among today's indigenous African communities, IHO scientists presented the findings of three years of research. This symposium took place April 8, 2017 at the Tempe Center for the Arts, Tempe, Arizona.

[@larryparis925]

@@Raydensheraj My “problem” with the Templeton Foundation is their unjustified bias of funding scientific projects for the purpose of linking findings to religious interpretations. Their fundamental policy is to support their religious (i.e, superstitious) biases rather than furthering scientific knowledge.

The change from 48 pairs of chromosomes, and 46 is not gradual. That is the difference between us and chimps and bonobo, at a fundamental level. Once upon a time, a pair of apes, with 48 pairs, gave birth to a mutant, with only 46 pairs...the first human, why am I wrong?

[@spatrk6634]

down syndrome makes you have different amount of chromosomes does that mean its not a human? is number of chromosomes defining characteristic of what a human is? how many incremental changes you must see, where you say, ok , now its a human. is number of chromosomes that line for you? if so, than downsyndrome baby is not a human, or you are wrong.

[@mistag3860]

@@spatrk6634 People, sorry, Humans with Down's syndrome have an extra copy of one chromosome. It is not a mutation that is favourable - Downs syndrome men are sterile, therefore as an example of a species distinct from humans, they would immediately fail, as there can be no next generation. Your comparison is flawed, and I still have to be proved wrong, by somebody, and its not you. Why arent humans nicer on these comment sections? I'm not trying to say disabled people are not human - that is so far from my question its laughable. Why do you defend Down's syndrome people as if I had attacked them? Of course they are human, LOOK AT THEM! one gets so fed up with people getting offended on other peoples behalf, so they can look 'oh so virtuous'. Off you must fuck.

If you love the universe the birds will make you mentally ill so you fight with the environment to make it intelligent. Your supposed to make the environment intelligent so no God needed. God has been liberated and fully capable of evolving himself without any help. God don't want your worship he just wants to get married. Royal weddings are the most watched thing on television. We fixed the video and audio for best experience possible. Cameras are supernatural and all of them captured 3D. The audio loud don't make violence so has depth.
