Genetic Mutations Allowed Humans To Be Artistic
Makarand writes "Most anthropologists believe that the transformations which allowed
humans to think and behave in a recognisably modern fashion happened
gradually and were a result of demographic and cultural changes.
However, according to an expert on human origins at Stanford University
these transformations have a biological explanation and were not gradual.
According to his
theory 50,000 years ago
genetic mutations resulted in a creativity
gene that led to the development of the modern mind and started
a cultural revolution by triggering biological changes in the brain and
vastly improving the human ability to communicate.
Evidence in support of such a theory has been found in the form of FOXP2, a
gene proven to affect the ability of learning and processing language and which in its
mutated form can result in speech and language impediments. Also, the
human FOXP2 differs only slightly from similar genes in chimpanzees, mice
and other animals."
the gene for Windows users. It is now possible to screen your child for possible future windows useage and admit gene therapy.
God Bless Genetics

It makes you communicate better
art gene == gay gene == Mac user gene == hairdresser gene == ballet dancer gene ==
I'm starting to see a connection..
Trolling is a art,
Another obvious observation: since it was only 50,000 years ago, the "natives" who were isolated that long ago (read africa, aborigionese, etc...) probably never inherited the gene. Perhaps that explaines their marked inferiority!
Fairly predictable response, overall. Who thought this thread would escape the mythologists?
However, I would like to add that Science, in fact, did begin as a methodology for discovering the true nature of God. Problem is, the "true nature of God" that was discovered didn't jibe well with the beloved Bible mythology and was soon condemned.
Maybe my "God" doesn't have your "God's" brains, but he also doesn't send "his children" to burn in hell for all of eternity, either.
