taking your audience questions here's a voicemail question you can leave yours
at two one nine to david p we'll take a listen and hopefully come up with an
answer here
uh... uh...
a long time warner gordon
i really
your work
shows great coco important object
i want to ask you or review group i now on
request briefing humankind harman what you think about it also your predictions
for the next ten years
thank you
give up the tower all right sir two-fold question there were two i think humans
came from the my predictions for the next ten years
you know i recently finished reading bilbray sins of short history of nearly
everything earlier era brief history
but for a history of of
almost everything but the name of the book
i think that's about things but at what i know for sure if he did
is that it's by bill bryson that i know
uh... as registry of nearly everything
assured history of nearly everything area
and uh... you know based on all the research we have now my sense is that
uh... homo sapiens in other words of modern modern man
uh... evolved
bronwyn any and earlier version of may and and you know whether it was from
home or wrecked their store
uh... you know were ever the split seems to have happened
i think it's not totally clear
what's also interesting to me is that
a lot of the
records
of the millions and millions and millions of years of human existence
are based on
in many cases just handful
of individual bone fragments
from different species so-called species of human
while i think that it's clear that evolution is is the real history
we just don't know yet exactly at which point the humans split off
or or or become
the what what we know considered to be modern man
there's a new overwhelming amount of evidence
for evolution he just about every species on the planet right uh...
defend that
evolution i think obviously we have all firm from primates in
that's about it really there you go who is putting it very simply what what do
you think in time
i'm just gonna say that uh... i mean we do not have a pretty good idea of one
humans lidar
the group they split up
on a lighter saying we don't know that noble what there is still debate on
because it
it's off at the book really outlines interestingly that what many things that
are now consider just kind of fact
we may be slightly off on because they're based on mary often water to
fossils which may be all that's left from of you know a period of of five
hundred thousand years for example
we can have an idea but there is the big about whether there were
concurrent the issues of humans
or whether it's certain species evolved from others that that's where there is
debate
yeah i would argue with the way you're describing it like
humans referring the homo sapiens yet in their current form right now we have a
pretty good idea of when they split up there are all other species intermediate
species between states and humans that have been found recently the debate is
whether they are so-called intermediate or they were there at the same point
image in a logical chain
and broken correct that's simply not the best
right and also the debate is whether they were smarter than we previously
thought like with neanderthals day writers evidence now that
of their own lot smarter than was previously thought reitman one of the
most fascinating things actually from that book nothing it off on the book but
uh... their there is an area where there are
cal less
basic tools basically axe is made from the very heavy stones
and those stones
are not from nearby another words those stones were carried from kind of far
away
and brought their
and we don't know at this point lewis
why and how
society
these heavy stones to this one area where they were turned into axes and we
don't know why they were absolutely no human remains in that area
but we do have the stones
it's it's fascinating really when you start looking into it uh... however
everything they can be found about this story absolutely and things like uh...
like stonehenge too
injustice covered the stones came from
quite far distance away right uh...
the pyramids everything
everything just as far as the next ten years and what do you predict for
humanity the next ten years
you mean other than micah a nuclear holocaust sir
you know it that that's about all i thought
i don't know where things will go you know we've talked on the show a lot of
our human still evolving not in the
uh... biological sense but more in the societal sense and given all the the
technological development i don't really know i don't know what to expect
i think that knowledge is going to be a bigger than bigger part of everyone's
lives
we also have this concern coming up in the next ten or fifteen years that
we need some new kind of antibiotic i don't know if you're familiar with this
lewis but basically
we have the uh... the the penicillin based antibiotics and then the ones that
are of i'd forget the family but if the type of leva quinn is part of
and while we're developing new variations of them is basically the same
types of antibiotics and some research i've read says in ten to fifteen years
where they have a population that is broadly
uh... resistant
to the types of antibiotics that exist
what will happen with that that could be a factor in the next ten years of
humanity potentially
right let me know how hard would it be to develop new
antibiotics uh...
i don't know though it would be hard for me because i know nothing about it same
here maybe for some other people they could do it
bug was up so but let's hope so
of so that's that's and i'm not sure on the next ten years more technology
uh... maybe computers implanted into people like lewis's brains
woolsey keep the questions coming
