who on Earth ever taught you that such a thing happened? It was one continuous process.RS_Blooddrive wrote:I think I understand the evolotion theory pretty well...I was taught it through most of school. That creatures evoled from a single cell in a primeval oz. Then to a ape ...then to man. But there is something called the missing link. Where the ape stopped and man started.
partly because we have to. Without socialization, most apes would be VERY vulnerable to predators. We don't have blinding speed, we don't have extreme size or strength. However, we have evolved brains that are a fascinating amalgram of systems used by other classes of animals, and have developed highly evolved social skills. Thus, we can act as a group, defend our social unit collectively, hunt collectively, etc.But man is the only one that has built civilisation. Can you explain that to me Slick? I have a hard time understanding that.
Man headed to the top of the evolutionary heap by dint of extreme social organization, which became ever more efficient as a couple regions of the brain evolved much more prominently than prior ape species. A huge leap was the domestication of dogs, essentially the use of another entire species as a tool. And that tool led to much of the later development which we come to call 'civilization'. It's a long story, but one worth studying, if you have the free time.
