Speedy Brain
thats an interesting article especially the point in paragraph 11
"The scientists found that the human brain's genes had gone through an intense amount of evolution in a short amount of time - a process that far outstripped the evolution of the genes of other animals."
this in itself is completely contrary to how evolution predicts changes isnt it?
And, just to be nosy, how long do you think they say the "short amount" of time is?

Re: Speedy Brain
Your numbers are wonky.
Humans evolved in "only" about 6 Myrs from nearer relatives with much smaller brains. And I don't see why this is too short at all.
Animals (multicellular) have been evolving for about 100 times that long, not billions of years. You need to get things straight.

Re: More Brain power then is necessary
They have found that its a function that is limitless.
Simply nonsense.
