What makes us human? Is it consciousness? Is it our ability to reach reality? And specifically to reach the reality of other species better? Do we have a purpose? Are we closer to the gods because of that? Because humans represent so…
Meanwhile in Africa… Dry and cracked land where nothing grows anymore… Africa probably looked like this after more than 200,000 years of the Saale glaciation about 130.000 years ago. Ice age caused a huge drought during its existence and drove the local homo…
The human species was born as stripped-down from normal features of homo heidelbergensis, not as supplemented. When ruthless nature in Africa exterminated the adult phenotype, it could not kill out the few members of the adolescent phenotype. They escaped extinction by using…

The psychic peculiarity of modern man can be explained by two major transitions shown in the figure above:
Genetic error, or mental growth disorder
The bottleneck effect caused by harsh environmental conditions.
