This space serves as a forum for those who are interested in exploring how Human Being was created and "shaped" by history to what we are today and, more importantly, how it will shape our future - After millions or thousands of years from now, can our descendants still be classified as Human Beings based on today's definitions of Human Being ? - Looking back to our history, we simply can't call Homo erectus modern Human Beings such that I believe our descendants will evolve to some kind of beings that will significantly different from what we are today.

Unlike others who believe in Darwinism, I believe, although our evolutions have been affected by many different factors, we can steer or at least manage the course of our future evolutions instead of giving in to "natural selections" only. Simply because we have evolved to such a stage that we are intelligent enough to be responsible for our future (take a look at what we have done to Mother Nature and you see what I mean...) such that I think now is the time for those who are self conscious enough to take up this responsibility to get organized to chart the course for our future.

Looking forward to hearing your comments, suggestions, ideas ....etc.

Bridging Up the Gaps in Darwin's Hypothesis of Evolution

Right from the beginning at the time Darwin proposed the Hypothesis of Evolutions in 1870's, there have been two major difficulties for him and his followers to overcome :

I. There have been no or little evidence in fossils unearthed so far that suggested existence of "intermediaries" between spieces such that an objective view on history of evolutions (i.e., a clearly plotted "path" on how one spiece evolved into another) can not be charted.

II. There have been no scientific elaborations, even a hypothetical one, on how evolutions were or to be done. There are arguments that "natural selection" process give rise to conditions that favour certain kind of "hidden" genetic factors which contribute to evolutions or mutations of species. However, apart from the fact that there is lack of experiments under controlled environment to support this premise, it also open up the possibility of "intelligently designed creations", which contradict the hypothesis of evolutions and natural selections.

In response to the arguments mentioned above, I suggest the following Hypothesis :

A) "New" spieces came to existence as a result of "Mutations" instead of "gradual Evolutions". The causes of such mutuations can be drastic change in the evironment (e.g., exposing to intensive radiation that change structure of DNA...etc.).

B) Subsequent Evolutions or "Refinement" of a spiece is a result of interactions between this particular spiece and the environment such that, the higher its capability to change the environment, the greater extent that it can "evolve" from the original "base".

In the following sections, I will try to organize some researches or refer to research works by other scientists to support my hypothesis. Any comments, suggestions, critics from you are heartly welcome.

Evolution of Mind - The Cognitive Power to use Langauge


There is a report published in the New Scientist web site on the 23rd of April, 2009 on the findings of proof of use of langauge in a collection of symbols found on artefacts from the Indus valley civilisation, which flourished in what is now eastern Pakistan and western India between 2500 and 1900 BC (some 4,500 years ago!!). Some scholars argued that the symbols are meaningful langauge and others argued they are just random symbols without any sense of langauge.

However, I see at least two of the symbols on one of the artefacts found look similar to ancient Chinese Ideographic characters :



May be the follow-on research can help to reveal how the use of langauge evolved in the region four to five thousand years ago...
