    Probably only 100 years and we will be doing this.

    Dolphins are not that far away from us on the brain weight to body mass scale, but I agree that Man is unique.

    But as to the big cranium birth thing, yes, human women are, on average, barely capable of birthing the largest human babies and the cranium is the biggest problem.
    Of course this is presaged in Genesis 3:16, because Man ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,
    To the woman He said,
    “I will greatly multiply
    Your pain in childbirth,
    In pain you will bring forth children...

    And that there were giants in the land that interbred with humans (Gen 7), I was not surprised when Science "discovered" this.
    And don't start me, I read the Bible first, but I read the science too. Memorizing shit is easy, Physics shit is hard.


    This knowledge is ancient.

    Describe the deep space propulsion system that could take us to Alpha Centauri in less than 20 years (speed of about .25C)...

    Opinions are like assholes. If I had a nickel for every time someone said something was impossible, I'd be filthy rich.

    These fucking birdbrains simply don't get it. Life is a fundamental physical property of the universe. It will ALWAYS evolve, any place there's matter and light. (And maybe even some places there isn't).

    Calculating the "probability of life evolving" is like phrenology. Yeah, let's measure the distance between your lobes.

    The fucking rotten assholes can't even define what LIFE is, and they have the overwhelming arrogance to claim they can measure it - nay, not even measure, but PREDICT!

    I have only one comment:

    Humans and chimps diverged from a common ancestor perhaps about 7 million years ago, and their hands now look very different. We have a relatively long thumb and shorter fingers, which allows us to touch our thumbs to any point along our fingers and thus easily grasp objects. Chimps, on the other hand, have much longer fingers and shorter thumbs, perfect for swinging in trees but much less handy for precision grasping. For decades the dominant view among researchers was that the common ancestor of chimps and humans had chimplike hands, and that the human hand changed in response to the pressures of natural selection to make us better toolmakers.
    But recently some researchers have begun to challenge the idea that the human hand fundamentally changed its proportions after the evolutionary split with chimps. The earliest humanmade stone tools are thought to date back 3.3 million years, but new evidence has emerged that some of the earliest members of the human line—such as the 4.4-million-year-old Ardipithecus ramidus (“Ardi”)—had hands that resembled those of modern humans rather than chimps, even though it did not make tools. And back in 2010, a team led by paleoanthropologist Sergio Almécija, now at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., began arguing that even earlier human relatives, dating to 6 million years ago—very soon after the human-chimp evolutionary split—already had humanlike hands as well. This even included the ability to press the thumb against the fingers with considerable force, a key aspect of precision gripping.


    The furs that early humans wore were stitched together, thumb and finger coordination meant we survived in colder weather.
    Making stone tools, Knapping flints, all these technological achievements enabled us to build and keep building until we split the atom.

    Hell, we should be the pets, game, or slaves of aliens before we become a threat.

    I won't hold my breath.
    I wonder why chimps aren't still turning into people?
