RE: ...and war
That is the tragic part: we have the capability to launch nuclear missiles, but we still have the brain of people 2,000 years ago !

RE: ...and war

Originally written by Jacek K. on March 15, 2011 4:12 PM

Has any progress been made, in your opinion, since the 4th-5th century?

Originally written by John Bunch on March 15, 2011 4:28 PM

No. Not really. 

But generally progress has been made -- over the last... seven (7) million years.

We both forgot about the Shedding Our Penis Spines Helped Us Become Human thread! Seriously, we've "lost several hundred snippets of DNA, which together led to traits that are uniquely human."

Always look at the bright side of things, John! Maybe we can shed some more DNA with the help of, say, nuclear radiation so that we can finally change?

RE: ...and war

I would like to close this thread on the rhetorical question asked above.

TO CONTINUE POSTING PLEASE GO TO THE NEWLY CREATED ...and war (2)

This thread is not being frozen to allow quoting from it, but from now on any messages inadvertently posted here will be moved to ...and war (2)

Thank you!
