Amost any 3 year old human is way more advanced than the smartest adult ape that has ever lived! If you want people to quit acting like animals (i.e. events like Fort Hood), then it might be good to stop ... Read Moremaking such a close connection. We can find all kinds of similarities between ourselves and other living things... and??? Moreover, what does that have to do with gobal population growth???

As the weathering of those same Himalayas pulled down C02 levels such that, combined with a crowded in Arctic ocean turned the Milankovitch cycles into twenty Ice age cycles which "pumped" human evolution. The Indians had it right, the gods live there and its a story thats amazing in retrospect, like all great and truthful tales. Michael is right, it is fascinating.
