[@tomasznasiowski5075]

great lecture

[@artiexus]

Fascinating talk, thank you for sharing!

[@leonardportuondo2403]

Yeah I agree with this but only within the context of the tribe we are still very primitive and aggressive when it comes to other animals cause survival requires it to be.

Agricultural revolution has catalysed self-domestication

[@systemicchaos3921]

Agriculture came much later

[@mudslinger888]

Also catalyzed chronic diseases we suffer today… re: Carnivore Code bk.

Absolutely fascinating! As a retired teacher I kept seeing the faces of past students - A teacher sees this lecture lived out in her classroom day after day. Imagining it over 300,000 years is mind bogling!

[@proudatheist2042]

Do you mean you saw facial differences between your brightest students and your less intelligent students?

[@hackerhesays731]

im finally seeing what Tos is!!!!!

What about East Asians, most of them have wide faces which are also considered as a sign of neoteny (domestication)?

[@toniahugus2658]

Neotony is more infantile features such as less hair

[@bub6871]

East Asians have flat faces. White and ME people have sharp faces and blacks have wide faces.

Does the innate tendency to preserve and continue the (human) dot its has anything to do with this domestication and reduced violence? There is enough death for other causes than human aggression in past societies.

15:00 These days, I would exchange the name "Fred" with someone else.

[@Angesjw135]

Noticed that people with wider faces often can represent personality of psychopath or narcissist, or both. The wider face is in the area of eyes, the more it seems to be dangerous. Just an observation.

Some years ago I came up with this concept of “self-domestication” as the most striking human behavior different from other animals, certainly due to our intelligence. Does this guy come up w this concept himself or it is just so obvious 😁?
