lesson 3
--------
Last time we met, we talked about the "fossil Record" and the amount of
real support it gives to the "theory" of evolution. We learned that the
"Total Sum" of ALL the human fossil remains would fit on a desk top!
Now lets look into a few other "facts" about Man Vs Ape. Modern type humans, have the capacity to reason, plan, invent, build on "previous" knowledge and use "complex languages", and appear "suddenly in the fossil record. Gould, in his
book "the Mismeasure of Man", notes: We have no evidence for biological change in brain size or structure since Homo Sapiens appeared in the fossil record
some fifty thousand years ago. Ref: The Mismeasure of Man 1981
by: Stephen Jay Gould, (p. 324)
Now lets look at another source. The Book The Universe Within, asks:
What caused evolution... to produce, as if overnight, modern humankind
with its highly special brain? Ref: The Universe Within, 1982
By: Morton Hunt (p. 45)
This will not end this series, but for next week we will delve into
such things as how an "eyeball" works, its differences between and within
species. we will look into the so called "simple" single celled animal, and
try and show you its "extreme complexity....Until than Be Gentel & soft spoken.
