Human brain activity during stone tool production.

Human brain activity during stone tool production.
I like brains. I like rocks.  I like to talk. I like to use my brain to smash rocks and I've been known to use rocks to smash brains...and talk about it!

.........so I was bound to love this;




http://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2133/
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

True magic is the ability of the scientific method to unravel answers where there was nothing but questions and mystery.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I was going to suggest if there is one thing creationist brain is vastly better for than evolutionist brains is beating against stone cores to flake off chips.

@Igno
IKR?  A real clever feature of that study...that you'd have to read the whole thing to tease out..was the manner in which they controlled for incidental correlation between ESA knapping and linguistics.   

After you read it and see their data...you think "fuck, ofc!" - but the earlier researchers totally missed it and I hadn't thought of it before I read it either.  In the process, they discredit those earlier studies findings not on the basis of the accuracy of their conclusion..but specifically on their method- while simultaneously providing even greater support for the very proposition in question that those earlier researchers had sought..and failed, to find.

@Anom
The data suggests that oldowan tool manufacturing is a waste of a theist's brain..even...if that can be imagined. I guess they can always hang their hat on that.

OTOH, it presents a narrative in which the very foundation of telling stories about fairies is ultimately rooted in making clubs to beat your neighbor over the head with....and wasn't it ever thus? Wink

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Grawn should not fuck dead; make him sick and die, himself.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
