Why didn't other species evolve intelectually like we did?

[twostarhotel]

This is my only supernatural belief. I cannot prove it, but somehow i feel that it is true. But even so, something is just not quite "right" about it...

Sometimes i get scared that i will go to sleep and stay in the dream and not be able to wake back up, i know it's silly... just another one of those weird feelings.

"down through the centuries, the notion that life is wraped in a dream has been
pervasive theme of philosiphers and poets, so doesnt it make sence that death too would
be wraped in a dream that after death your consciouse life would continue in what
might be called a dream body. It would be the same dream body you experience in
your everyday dream life excetp that in the post mortal state you can never again wake up
never again return to your physical body" I got that from the movie a waking life
the physical life is a dream just as is the non physical
your conscious spirit experiences the dream by what senses it has access too
your eyes, hands, ears are all just cesors or antenna to your brain, what goes on in the brain is electrical and can be measured, but is not physical

According to an article on the Huffingtonpost, human brain size exploded, more specifically became more dense with neurons, when we started to cook our food. However, even that idea is debated for one obvious reason. Does it not take a brain to cook food? Researchers say that a human would have had to eat 9 times the amount of food if it was not cooked in order to gain the proper nutrients to support our dense brains.

It's also believed that humanity almost went extinct 70,000 years ago. I am sure during that time, the weaker less intelligent members of the species were easily killed off.

Seems to be a lot of debate about who first controlled fire. http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/human_evolution/2012/10/who_invented_fire_when_did_people_start_cooking_.html

thats weird cause Ive read about how raw or food cooked under 118 degrees has more nutrients and doesnt dry out like when you cook it, although some foods need to be cooked to a certain extent to make it easier to digest, I guess ill have to look more into this

The point is the easier to digest part. The digestive tract is a huge resource sink. It requires a lot of energy and space to work. Pre-digesting food by cooking allows for a much smaller, more efficient digestive tract allowing for the energy that is obtained from food to be used in the development of the brain. If you examine the anatomy of modern non-human primates, you find a very large gut which interferes with the ability to walk upright. Although some micro-nutrients may be lost in cooking, the main ones, the ones that are sources of energy, i.e. protein, fats and carbohydrates are not lost in any significant quantity.

Likes apes eventually mutated to human, why didn't other species at the time take such a big leap as we did?

Does anybody know the answer? I tried googling it and yahoo answers isn't cutting it, ever. So help me out on this one.

Because at some point we humans started telling stories like the ones in the Bible, telling our children that they are magically "ordained by god" over the rest of the planets creatures... We are basically frozen in time until we sack the Vatican (Rome) Buckingham palace (British Empire) and distribute the wealth among the nations of the world, and take down their policies to create our own.

Also, keep in mind that some foods (i.e. meats and poultry) are cooked at higher temperatures (165-185) to kill potentially deadly bacteria and retro-viruses like salmonella and E. Coli...

Please don't link to cranks like Lloyd Pye on a serious discussion about evolution and genetics. As soon as Pye can produce what we have been asking from the IDers for decades - actual predictions that his hypothesis is able to make - people need to stop giving him attention. All we have are claims and attacks on common ancestry, which has been supported by multiple lines of evidence. These people need to realize that even if he could somehow prove Darwinian evolution wrong, it doesn't make their pet theory automatically correct. Yet a Nobel Prize is waiting for him as soon as he can produce anything more than accusations and assertions.

Whatever it is youre talking about must not be that crucial if all you care to do is spam the thread with a bunch of links and offer no explanation.

Very simple, We ate the sumbitches. LOL

Gods, aliens, godly aliens, psychedelics, and probably way over a hundred thousand years of man kinds history being wiped out due to cataclysmic events, which would explain why it seems like our brains evolved in such a short time. Now excuse me, I gotta go on a moose ride to the crazy train or else I'll miss it!

I really think we are castaways.

As in some alien sent our DNA out in the universe or something like that?

 

[ManWithTheHex]

If I don't remember completely wrong there was other one other specie that evolved with intelligence like we did. Heard of the neanderthal? Of course we killed them all pretty soon, but you know.
The most important key to our intelligence is actually our vocal chords. It made us being able to form a language and better communication with each other. That's what made us become intelligent, not being limited to the thoughts of only yourself.
Don't take my word for it, but that's how it is from my understanding.

I'll tell you how...really big fallen angels had sex with the upright creature women that lived at that time. They weren't supposed to but they couldn't help it. They were very big and very smart and could have sex with the girl beast of their choice. These beasts were not intelligent but were still family oriented and could love and feel. So their super human angel gene mixed with the beast gene and after a billion years of evolution wallah, here we are.
