Memes are actually the first barrier to a civilized culture of intelligent species.

Prove me wrong. You can't.

Ok yeah sure homo-kekis is the endgame of evolution all intelligent people know that.

Humans as a species separated from our common ancestor 3-5 million years ago.
wait what

neanderthals were under a mil

Neanderthals couldn't meme.

New theory.

100 years from now "progressives" will long be extinct and forgotten.

gonna need a lot of helicopters to make that happen

If I become dictator, I promise that will be the case

Yeah common ancestor. We're not descended from chimps. Chimps and humans have a common ancestor that is neither. Neanderthals were just another failed hominid offshoot. This kinda gets back to the ranged weapon thing if you look at the Mousterian toolsset.

Helicopters?

@Sock are you a progressive? >_>

I still want to see the Styx dream of gay people can manage their pot farms with machine guns.

Even though I personally don't like weed.

Also start the helis.

I don't like mumble rap. That doesn't mean it should be illegal....

@Jym just to clarify, by last common ancestor, you mean with chimps?

@Tero

Yeah. As our closest living relative. There are a whole pile of extinct hominids on our fork. Likely a lot of extinct pongids on theirs we just don't focus on the chimp fossil records like we do hominids. There's a chimp genome project though so we can get a lot of data from that.

Progressive is kinda a broad label. Wouldn't identify with sjws if that's what you mean

This gets kinda weird though because there is more genetic variation between populations of chimps on the same landmass than there is among humans on the planet. Genetic expression is some weird shit my dude.

right

when you said common ancestor i assumed you meant most recent human from whom all living people are descended

which was definitely not 5m y.a.

One theory is that we had a mass die-off event in the late paleolithic that created a sort of genetic choke point and that would explain the lack of variation. But no for human ancestors we've got aa decent gauge of time and place using MtDNA. Because it is non-recombinant we don't have to estimate cross-breeding.

Spermatazoa are too small to contain Mitochondria so it is strictly maternal. That makes it really convenient to track descent because we can ignore other factors.

Mumble rap should actually be illegal.

For more info on the die off check out joe rogans podcasts with graham hancock

they just did one but there are a couple others

No people have an innalable right to make horrible music. And I have an insliable right to look down on them for their poor taste.

I don't know Hancock in particular but it is a fairly well accepted theory in the literature. It's also theorized that under such a die-off event the Hamilton inequality would be maximized again giving an evolutionary cause for our unusual prosocial behavior. We cannot **prove** this but it has some value as a model.

ohh sorry my bad

But it's not music.

i wasnt reading carefully

It's audible poison.

graham hancock is the dude who's proposing some cataclysm that effected whatever civilizations might have existed 12,800 years ago

a much less accepted idea

and unrelated to what you guys were talking about because its way later

@Sock

I didn't say anything was particularly bad. I think Rogan is a valuable outlet I just do not know that specific individual.

oh no im not accusing you of anything, i made a mistake
