Brain Evolution
Obviously, this does not involve creationists and similar assholes!

Quote:The questions surrounding why and how the human brain has evolved over the past six million years as compared to other primates in the evolutionary timeline have been central in the discussions of human origins research for many years. When and how did this happen? Some possible clues may have emerged as a result of new research by an international team of scientists in China and Germany, suggesting that changes in the activity levels of certain genes of the human brain during brain development may have been the cause, and that these changes were controlled by key regulatory molecules called microRNAs.

RE: Brain Evolution
MicroRNA has been in the news a lot lately. In one article I read it is credited with the 200 million years of animal evolution that led to the Cambrian explosion. In another it explains most of the differences between humans and chimps.

It is now know that what was once considered junk DNA plays an important part in both the embryonic development and evolution of species. This non coding DNA is what turns the production of the proteins that control growth on and off.

RE: Brain Evolution
evolution of human brain is occurs gradually by the evolution of human race. Grossly, it occours through the using of new new skills by the humen civilization from its started. mRNA of CNS only accumulates those skills and gradually increasing the creativity and the range of work of humen brain.
