If there's anything I've learned from being a bird intelligence nerd, it's that brain size means nothing compared to the density of neurons/the specfic allocations of neurons so to speak.

Likely that whenever different lineages, of what we call species, crossed in time and territory, there was likely some successful cross breeding going on. Exactly how our lineage came to the life form we are stuck with now is probably extremely complex, varying, and diverse.

"Oh what's that, Nature? I picked up a rock. Now I'm on top of the food chain" - Man

[@michelecox5241]

Neither humans or our ancestors were EVER the top of the food chain. That term is just to make us out to look better. Without tools or weapons, we are food. That really doesn't make us the top of much.

[@ProtiumPower]

Human have evolved to 'throw' precisely which Includes 'holding' objects in the first place. No other animal can do it good enough to actually hunt anything. So from picking rocks and sticks and hunting with it to modern projectile weapons, surely it made humans on top of food chain.

[@mhdfrb9971]

​@@michelecox5241Because our ancestors found a niche in endurance hunting and tool usage that no other animal can fill. You don't need the raw strength of a gorilla or the massive fangs of the baboon to kill when you can literally run your prey to near death and then finish them off with a spear or club. The human mind and our native endurance are our most deadly weapons and more than make up for a lack of claws and fangs.

[@matmersel2428]

You learned to write. Did not make you a scientist.

[@Kittyclysm]

@@mhdfrb9971 I disagree. We've been hunted by hyena's until our technology took off, and it was not due to brain size that it did. The simple change in social structure that allowed us to offload information into a collective group is our most deadly weapon, and as such the individual mind doesn't matter. This is evident by the rapid decline of brain size in the past 3000 years, which is more than the past 10000 years of growth.

Why was there such diversity within the species? Was it in the process of evolving into the more advanced sections of the species?

[@SewingBoxDesigns]

Good question, because it seems like at various points. In time something scrambled genetics and things went a bit crazy, the successful mutations surviving for a time. What caused the mutation spurts?

[@Player-pj9kt]

[@cesarvidelac]

I remember that animation from an old documentary.

[@brendacooper5729]

If you use the KISS criterion, keep it simple stupid. we started walking upright because we had to. Human infants still have the instinct and strength to grip tightly and can actually be lifted by their own grip, not a useful trait nowadays, but essential for an early hominid using all four legs to travel swiftly between one tree and another, so why might a hominid suddenly choose to stagger awkwardly on two legs rather than leaping on four? Most of our cousins have thick fur that an infant can cling to, either on the mothers chest or back, humans obliviously once had that option, and we have it no longer, so when did we lose the fur? The why really doesn't matter, at the time it must have been catastrophic for the mothers. Infants could no longer be transported clinging to a mother travelling rapidly on four legs, but had to be carried by a mother staggering to balance on two legs. When menaced by a predator the mother would have had to choose between dropping her infant and fleeing or dying trying to defend it. The mortality rate among the infants would depend on their Mothers ability to balance and move on two legs in order to escape with the infant, so the shape of spines and hips that had made the owners awkward quadrupeds may have come in handy for a sudden biped. Once we developed the be pedal bone structure all sorts of advantages came our way that were not available to our quadruped relatives, more things than infants can be carried, tools no longer had to be found where they were to be used.

They never died out. That’s a misnomer. They interbred with other hominids (likely more seen as simply a different racial background than different creatures) and just evolved.

Climate chsnges slowly over long time. But not like right now within hundreds of years

[@grousedog88]

Are you serious ??? How many times ? How fast ? How would anyone think 31 million cows fart more than 60 million buffalo ? Many more issues, but it doesn’t matter. If you honestly believe human are the cause, then I have ocean front property in Arizona I ‘ll sell ya cheap.

@@grousedog88 this is not how it works mate. We digg out carbon hydrates that were bound for millions of years. We increase the CO2 concntration very fast and almost double them within 200 years. In nature before humans, greenhouse gases stayed more or less the same, cause influx and eflux stayed more or less the same. Its not that hard to understand

[@grousedog88]

No offense mate, but you are so wrong. Among other things plain math with cows and buffalo is happening in Europe. Short of you standing outside with a stopwatch, you don’t really know how fast.. Again in doesn’t matter. The Climate has always changed, sometimes faster, sometimes slower. Climate changed at dinosaurs and changed numerous times without our help. So even if you get rid of all humans, it will happen Again. Like it or not no matter what you do it Will happen again. I was told when doing AC we had to worry about chlorine making hole in ozone larger. Chlorine is heavy than air. Dinosaurs were bigger than cows, there were more buffalo than cows. Then end result is you can be told all kinds of common sense and pure Vulcan logic and you will claim it’s humans fault. So you fly in you prop planes ( electric ) ,stand around charging your car I while drive by cause I done. In this reality we realize humans have a minute amount it’s not even worth mentioning ,regardless it will happen again , no matter what.

The creationists at it again

[@marcogriffioen599]

Beautiful... We couldn 't (and still can't) find the Missing Link in the crazy Darwin theory (which is taught as truth, but is still nothing but a theory) and then this 'hominid' was found, and voilá... We make the storie fit. And we fit it to make the storie seem true and 'proven'. Again, nice theory, but.. nothing more than that

[@Makabert.Abylon]

So what do you think is an option to that theory? The much proven facts of gods and religion? And you do understand that the word theory in science isn’t some random ideas that you just believe because you want to right? Fascinating how you also mention “we make the story fit” as that is exactly what religious people do. And not at all how you do science. You are so incredibly badly informed to start with, you should just go back to that book of truths you so much believe . Its no point you are lost

[@sH-ed5yf]

Missing link between what? Missing link is not a scientific term. It is a Detektion from creahionists every species is a linker species

no. see? it is this easy to make a claim. Feel free to support yours with anything. As if you could.

Ah, there it is. Always one close-minded individual with the bibble dribble in every video presenting actual science over religious dogma.

You came down from the trees and started killing dangerous large animals to eat. Really?

Tried to make it through but just could not stop laughing at this insanely funny fiction. Just old monkey skulls and thousands of pages of professors writing fiction to get tenure. Far less real that lord of the rings.

Wait a second .. so you're telling me the church is lying? 🫣

About the bible and that we were created by a “god”? Yes it is a lie. We’re just apes. Smarter apes.
