The fact that we have a self-realization that we evolved and how we got here is astounding.

>>17083426your mother is astounding
>>17083426the evolution of man from beast to astronaut is way too fast compared to every other lifeform.this can mean only one thing
>>17083856not native?panspermia is true?
>>17083856Going from hunter gatherers to space doesn't require any evolution, it's entirely cultural achievement. Chimps don't need more than like 10% IQ boost to start their own space program, cultural advancement is highly disproportional to physiological advancement.
>>17083920and yet we are the only species to ever have "cultural advancement". this is no accident or necessity.
>>17083920>entirely cultural(Obelisk not included)
>>17083426All of this knowledge of the past is incomplete and pointless if it results in zero interest in consciously choosing future adaptations (human Speciation)
>>17083929Relax, no one is trying to mate with you.
>>17083925And? We are the most intelligent species on the planet. Single dominant species happens exactly because cultural advancement is so much easier than physiological advancement. If cultural advancement required advancements in IQ then you would see multiple intelligent species at different stages of IQ advancement but you don't see that. This is because getting the minimum IQ for any cultural advancement immediately makes you space faring in couple of generations which prevents any local competition from arising. Chimps are still thousands of generations away from our level of intelligence and that's with a direct path which won't happen when we are around.
>>17083948>We are the most intelligent species on the planet.Hysterical.
Evolution has never been proven doebeit.
>>17083426It’s insane
>>17083925There is a threshold for intelligence and dexterity that once you pass you immediately create civilisation really fast. We are basically the dumbest species smart enough to build civilisation, and so are other species that could have maybe build something similar in the past. The thing is that there could have been dinosaurs with agriculture and cities that we just couldn’t find records of because they didn’t manage to smelt metal so no fossilised remains of said civilisation could survive. Especially since you have to realise that fossils this ancient are created almost exclusively from animals that die in tar pits or get buried in mud floods.
>>17085134I don't think so. It's a matter of density. Even insects start doing agriculture when there are enough at the same place. We might very well be the smartest species in the universe, it just pointless to bother when you are few.
>>17085134I think the high bar is learning mutual cooperation. It's not until there is a safe community of trust that leisurely intellectual activities like scientific observation can be made and shared.
>>17083920>>17083925>>17083948>>17085134Cultural advancement is overrated. Culture only occurs because there is such wide variability of intelligence that a couple of geniuses get copied by literally everybody else. But there needs to be that one guy who can design the moon rocket out of thin air.
