Hm, fact check? A lot happens in our understanding of human evolution and anthropology these days :) Any facts I think I know could already be outdated since I don't try superhard to stay on top of...

Oh well Neapolitan, I suspect you're arguing with yourself. Mirror tests have been used and results between species like chimps and gorillas can be compared. If you can think of a better way to do...

I'm not sure how better jobs or higher education relates to biological fitness. I'm thinking a plumber can have as many children as an executive. In my experience, people who get a higher education...

Agreed! I'm currently writing a thesis on wind dispersal of flightless invertebrates in the high arctic, so I'm mostly working on mites and springtails. I thought I'd try and get a job after that (I...

Falling back to discussing definitions or other meta arguments is really a kind of cop out the way I see it. It's usually employed when people are not able or willing to partake in the discussion on...

^What you're doing is trying to turn this into some meta-discussion on what self-awareness is. That's all well and good, perhaps there are different ways one could define what self-awareness is.

Ah, we're talking past eachother. I haven't been clear .. I think the increase in the size of our brains (which has been a trend in our history since we split with the other apes) were tied to these...

What I am suggesting is that our common ancestors some 5 to 8 million years ago may have been self-aware. The reason I'm using Coco as an example is of course not because we come from gorillas, but...

I realize this is a parody of myself ;) I "know" this to be true because Koko is one of the most famous animals in the world, a gorilla which has been taught sign language and she definetly seems to...

Sexual selection is roughly the same as assortative mating which means we don't pick our partners at random. We are attracted to some people and others .. not so much. We are selective when it comes...

Some will always do "better" than others, even if it's purely by chance (genetic drift (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_drift)). Such harmony is not really attainable, but it is perhaps...

Well, defining evolution is a bit hard but it's obviously an important thing to do if you want to say whether it happens or not. A lot of ecologists for example might say that evolution is a change...
