NOVA mentioned FOXP2 but not the more important HACNS1 #166 Rockthrowing theory
Archimedes Plutonium
and the writer/producer was Graham Townsley. A work
that is obviously beyond their capabilities of logical
cohesion. In part 1 they introduce what they call a
"revolutionary new theory by Rick Potts as Climate
Change, which is irrelevent in inconsistent in part 2, and by part 3,
it is no longer treated as a one in a
hundred theory-opinions but treated as a foregone
conclusion.
--- quoting in parts some antiscience statements ---
NARRATOR: In the beginning, climate upheavals made us what we are.
They taught us a new inventiveness which has led to a cascade of
technological advances.
NARRATOR: So what changed? What made us into the versatile beings we
are today? All the evidence points to climate upheaval.
NARRATOR:
One-hundred-forty-thousand years ago, Homo sapiens teetered on the
brink of extinction.
--- end quoting some antiscience statements ---
Statements like the above should never have been in a
NOVA science program. If NOVA cannot have science
editors that know enough about logical reasoning or science method,
then do not employ them to make up these downright antiscience
programs.
Tell me does Lee and Townsley work as scientists or
are they from the publicity department of Exxon Mobil
and the coal companies trying to convince the world
that Climate Change brings good things into your life?
Or is the reason that Dan Lieberman is so much in this
program because Harvard was given alot of money donations with the
express purpose of making a Anthropology propaganda science show.
The FOXP2 gene was mentioned and mentioned that
Neanderthal had the same gene. What was not mentioned was HACNS1 gene
and whether Neanderthal shared the same gene. HACNS1 was around in
Sept 2008, and plenty of time to have served
a major segment of this 3 part series.
Far too much of this NOVA show is poor and lousy opinion, masquerading
as science consensus. An example of this is the statement:
NARRATOR: The teeth of children are among the most prized of all
archaeological finds because only they can tell us how fast those
children were growing up.
That may well be true that the teeth of children can indicate how fast
they grow, but as for how humanity
evolved it is a silly and irrelevant and stupid side show
excursion.
Another silly excursion is the amount of time wasted on skull
indentions as to making opinions of what the
brain contained. Maybe 10 minutes or more in this series was devoted
to tea leaves incantions of skull
indentions.
Part 3 did spend a few minutes explaining that Neanderthal spears were
large and clumsy and CroMagnon was versatile and throwable with a
sharp
bones as point.
But what was never mentioned in the entire 3 part series was the
throwing of rocks and stones. As if from
Orrorin 6 million years ago to Neanderthal, that NOVA
pretends as if not a single rock or stone by hominids was used for
throwing for advantage.
And there was mention of a very important fact. A fact,
I am sure was missed by all the staff that produced this 3 part show.
It was mentioned that almost every
Neanderthal fossil recovered shows multiple fractures
to their bones.
NARRATOR: That meant Neanderthal hunters had to get close to their
prey to kill them, which made hunting a risky business. Most
Neanderthal male skeletons have multiple fractures. Neanderthal lives
were tough, and they were short. Their skeletons tell us that very few
lived beyond the age of 30.
The most sensible explanation is that Neanderthal killed in the same
way that CroMagnon did, throwing
rocks and stones. Only that Neanderthal did not have
the range for his bone structure was not yet highly evolved to throw
as well. So that NOVA thinks the fractures were due to tackling
animals at close quarters, whereas I suspect the fractures were due to
the encounters between the Neanderthals and CroMagnon in increasing
combat of throwing rocks.
The next time NOVA thinks on doing the story of human evolution, they
should hire me to do the editing
and writing so that the story is Logical and has the
best scientific evidence. It is a story on one theory--
Rockthrowing which created bipedalism and which
is proven by HACNS1 and the physics of why the elbow, knee and hip are
midpoints in the act of throwing. NOVA has done a miserable
opinionated and
propagandish story that conveys to the world public
that Climate Change was good for our ancestors, so that we should sit
back and allow pollution and global
warming to have another climate change.

Says an unqualified-illiterate amature. The reason
AP's rubbish is posted on sap is because he has neither the skills
or the education required to get a paper, even a simple OPINION paper,
past peer review.
