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.
