One theory I would like to add about fire and cooked food is, With cooked food, there was less disgestion stress to our intestine, thus a reduction in size of intestine over the years. This smaller intestinal space led to smaller core structure in our bodies. Which is why we had to conceive premature babies - as the vaginal passage was reduced gradually due to smaller cores - unlike other mammals which conceive mature babies. (A calf can stand on it's feet in a few hours after the birth) This premature babies lead to vulnerabilities to infants. Which is one of the core reasons why we had corporation, larger communities and division of labour between sexes, and the concept of family, to safeguard the infants.

[@squidkrill3417]

There is a fallacy in your theory. Many mammals give birth to babies which are not mature - example rats, cats. In biology, altricial species are those in which the young are underdeveloped at the time of birth (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altriciality) The most likely explanation for why the human gestation period is 9 months (and hence human babies are relatively less developed) is the size of our brains. As human babies grow, they require more and more energy due to a bigger brain. After 9 months of brain development, the energy requirement is so high that the body's metabolism can no longer safely support the baby's development inside the body. And so birth takes place so that the development can continue outside the body.

[@ravirajjadeja9117]

@@squidkrill3417 Agree, maturity of progeny at birth in mammals is case specific but it seems homo sapiens evolved far away from the median. Also, intrestingly, talking about the energy, big brain intestine, fire and food, isn't it all connected in a way? The cooked food relieved the intestine from the raw food digestion duties, thus employing the excess energy for building stronger neuron networks and brain muscle. Just making up things haha.

[@namy7506]

Wow. That freaking makes sense!

[@namy7506]

Did you read this somewhere or did you just make it up?

[@HarshPatel27]

Decreased size of core body is not at all the reason of smaller gestational period than other primates. Two major reasons, and both are related to our complex brain, are the size of our brain(and head) and the energy consumption of it. As we started having an erect posture, the size of the pelvis started getting smaller. Larger heads are difficult to deliver through small pelvis. So we started delivering the babies when their brain size is just 30% of the actual size. Other reason is the energy consumption. The complex neural network of the brain requires a massive amount of energy. During pregnancy that energy is derived from mother's body. Basically mother's body gives a part of the energy, that she can use for herself otherwise, to grow the baby. But after after few weeks (42 weeks and when brain is 30% developed), mother's body can't provide the energy required. Even if she tried, it causes negative effect on her. So basically our super powerful and massive brain is responsible for the decreased the period of gestation in humans. We have achieved this size thanks to due to fire and cooked food.

[@AmanSharma-ue5mt]

38:00 There is another theory about why the practice of monogamy is almost exclusive to humans among the entire animal kingdom. Due to our disproportionately large brain sizes, human offsprings take a disproportionate amount of time (up to and beyond a decade) to mature. Biologically speaking, we are called altricial species. So while a baby deer usually starts walking a day or two after birth, infants take up to a full year to do so. Deers are called precocial species. Basically, we are a ridiculously slowly developing ape. So slow that it requires vast amounts of highly sophisticated parental investment ranging from changing nappies and singing lullaby to hand holding and vocal training. Naturally, such a degree of parental investment would be made possible only in species that nurture and value long-term mating systems i.e. a widespread social practice which makes one want to be with one's partner and by virtue of that process help raise an offspring so as to ensure the survival of the human race. Hence, monogamy.

[@satejkokate410]

You could write a textbook bro really nice

[@AmanSharma-ue5mt]

@@satejkokate410 Just adding to the point Biswa was about to make in that conversation. Appreciate it. Thanks.

[@aryangupta7082]

Another theory I read was that before monogamy people didn't use to know the parents(or especially the father) of the child... So people invented this concept of monogamy through which it was supposed that the father of the child has to be the husband of the woman..as people at that time used to have multiple sexual relationships.

[@namy7506]

That's actually a more sensible theory. Since we are emotionally involved all the time, I don't think this is something that happened over a period of time. We were emotionally involved with someone and we were ready to spend more time which is something very common with few of the animals and that's how we had enough patience to stay and bear the offspring as parents and raise it to make sure that the offspring is able enough to survive on its own.

Fire and body hair also has a great history It is said that when we invented fire our body felt lesser need to preserve body heat because the need for heat was being outsourced to fire so we shedded off the hair we had on our body This is also the reason why we see so much of diversity of sapiens on earth because we shedded of hair we could travel huge amounts of distances without overheating our systems Info from "catching fire"

Another argument for the high proportion of left-handed elite athletes, sportspersons, etc. could be that since there are more right-handed people around, most players (both left and right-handed) get to practice more against right-handed players. And when these left-handed and right-handed players are pitted against each other, the left-handed ones are at an advantage since they've practised most of their life against right-handed opponents. And on the other hand, right-handed players are at a disadvantage for the same reason that they've practised most of their life against right-handed opponents, and this left-handed opponent is now a 'trick question' so to say.

16:00 A curious tangent to human-dog relationship I came across today. Most of us believe 1 dog year ~ 7 human years. Scientists have now proved that this relationship is not precise since dogs age faster when they are young, relative to humans of course. The correct relationship is Human Age = 16 * ln(Dog Age) + 31, where 'ln' is the natural log function.
