[2014-09-08] Bigger asses for bigger brains
Of course it's not true. People are getting smarter.
Time to piss off people with logic and facts!

Wait, this makes no sense.
If this were the case, Africa and Latin America would be the cradles of science and civilization, the most advanced and richest societies on Earth! Their huge neocortices would be the envy of all, while East Asia would be a primitive backwater, whose satisfaction with small asses cost them their chance at true intelligence.

Intelligence does not make a civilisation (as much as we intellectual elitists would like to think it does).Takos wrote:Wait, this makes no sense.

This is also true. Humans are intelligent, social, and have absurd dexterity. All of these are required.Siquo wrote:Intelligence does not make a civilisation (as much as we intellectual elitists would like to think it does).Takos wrote:Wait, this makes no sense.

Crows have language. Heck, even chickens have language. Bees have a language based on dancing.DonRetrasado wrote:Crows have all three of these things!

Language is a requirement of social environments.

I was mostly joking around. But no, those animals do not have language, and language is not a requirement for social structures.

For civilisation, you don't need much more than the ability to record and pass on information. Stories, writing and teaching. Am I right? That seems like the main thing.

Well, yes, but you do need a brain that can accomodate that information. We have gorillas that can speak sign language, but that doesn't help them learn differential equations, now does it?GUTCHUCKER wrote:For civilisation, you don't need much more than the ability to record and pass on information.

Gorillas can learn how to make signs and communicate, but no, they do not speak sign language. Language is a separate faculty that is (as far as we know) unique to humans because other animals cannot make novel and creative structures.
