(PhysOrg.com) -- A new replica of an early modern human brain has provided further evidence for the theory that the human brain has been shrinking. The skull belonged to an elderly Cro Magnon man, whose skeleton is called Cro Magnon 1. The entire skeleton was discovered in 1868 in the Cro Magnon cave in Dordogne, France, and has since become one of the most famous Upper Palaeolithic skeletons. Using new technology, researchers have produced a replica of the 28,000-year-old brain and found that it is about 15-20% larger than our brains. To produce the brain replica, called an endocast, the scientists first digitally scanned the interior of the empty skull. The images revealed the impression left by the brain on the neurocranium, which was then transformed into a 3D image. Software was then used to fabricate the brain endocast. http://phys.org/news187877156.html

He does take awhile to get to the point, I listened while painting ..so didn't mind Basically > Human brain developed on fruit in tropical forests > Fruit is sex > Fruit codes DNA > Human + Fruit/ forest DNA connection / symbiosis (kinda like Avatar, we being deeply connected to Nature (vast consciousness) (I'd say close to the Taoist Immortals / Golden Age ideas) > Brain tripled in capacity with fruit > Climate change saw a lot of these tropical forests disappear ...and so we find ourselves in grasslands with a sub optimal diet/ decline > Brain development stopped and over time we have lost 10-20%* brain size because of this change > The left brain took over and the right brain became silent, most spiritual practices are about reversing this decline/ disconnection ... the left brain dominance being the cause of most/ all problems today/

RE FRUIT

I'd go a distiller over a filter I have a filter that is suppose to remove 98% chems... I put that water into the distiller and still heap of stuff is left behind after 20 odd L ...sludge

Hmm yes, true. Well she says "natural skins= supplied with the vessel. This is how I truly love to practice. Free." Monks + Yogis mostly live from commodity too, living from the donations of others. If this funds her yoga practice giving her more time for such I can't see the harm in that. There are much more harmful but socially acceptable occupations. Many people sell themselves in many different ways. Whether physical or intellectual, I dislike modernity just as much as any sane person, mountains always have an appeal... though today such fantasies don't seem as viable as they did 500-1000+ years ago. If anyone is a slave it would be the men (generally) watching (by their own choosing...maybe ha) Others may be freed by it and start practicing yoga not wearing much either / or just learning yoga in general. Exercise semi-nude in the sun is always better and more freeing, feeling the elements etc directly Both genders by the corps (+ society has been programmed in general) are see as commodities "human resources" ... nobody seems to mind that phrase much... "human resources" ... anyway

I think the healthier you become, you become a lot more confident (natural/ at ease) + being semi nude / nude feels like a very natural thing. I see it more like viewing a rose/ beauty in general. The yogis themselves don't wear much Is this yogi a "ho"?

Not sure, wouldn't take much to make your own though?

I thought it was interesting, not that I agree 100% There are so many theories who can say

Caesar > Jesus Pompey > John (the Baptist) Antonius > Simon Lepidus > Peter (Decimus) Junius (Brutus) > Judas (Marcus Junius) Brutus > Barabbas Octavianus (Augustus) > John (the disciple) Nicomedes of Bithynia > Nicodemus of Bethania Cleopatra > (Mary) Magdalene Julia (widow of Marius) > Mary The Senate > The Sanhedrin Gaul > Galilee Rubicon > Jordan Corfinium > Cafarnaum Rome > Jerusalem http://www.carotta.de/subseite/texte/esumma.html

Ah this seems closer to what I was trying to get at... ? hm How did the Egyptians see things?

Funny thing that, I've seen things saying that the human brain is actually becoming smaller because of animal protein That fruit, all those sugars (FUEL) ... gave the brain the fuel to expand it doesnt matter how big the engine is without fuel you aren't going anywhere A diet with less fuel = less brain power = brain shrinking overtime Our ancestors had bigger brains than we do I'll post more about this tomorrow humanity on average will look like this in another million years

yes it is I'd say human are frugivores http://www.scribd.com/doc/17111888/Science-Verifies-That-Humans-Are-Frugivores

I don't really care for TCM Some TCM is among the most inhumane practices on the planet and is completely unnecessary In traditional Chinese medicine, a tiger penis (Vietnamese: Pín hổ; Chinese: 虎鞭; pinyin: hǔ biān) is said to have important therapeutic properties. However, modern science does not support the belief that the tiger penis (usually prepared as part of a dish) possesses any special potency. Furthermore, the demand for tiger parts exacerbates the endangered status of the tiger by providing a market for poachers. While the tiger penis is consumed in parts of China and Southeast Asia, particularly in Laos and Cambodia, its preparation is generally condemned by modern nations.[1] So basically promoting cannibalism? The Taoist Immortals practiced no such cruelty I have only seen a diet of mountain herbs, mushrooms, fruits, nuts and resin attributed to them The Immortals practiced Veganism

haaha, yeh fair enough No expectations hm, that is good. Just like this thread I have no expectations, I dont expect anything remarkable from anyone here haha

We've been through this already,

Cows eat plant material right? so if plant material is less nutritious the cow is also going to be less nutritious So either way = less nutrition I eat mostly organic

You are the elitist here as per your post, by what elitism can you make such comments? You think yourself superior to animals... you understand humans are also an animal? you are an animal called a human Being human of itself doesn't mean much. I have seen non-human animals with more intelligence, love, compassion, understanding etc than many humans. At a universal scale you are just as much an ant as an ant on earth What many corpse eating people don't understand is that it is about causing less harm, we are not unaware of the things you present above re agriculture. Many Vegan/veges do their best to minimize harm as reasonably as one can with the world as it is today. It just so happens the most ethical choice is also the healthiest... seems kindness does pay I suppose you missed the 100 scientific reason not to eat meat? ... more recent than 1920s studies... You allude to being of more importance than an (non-human) animal though you use (non-human) animals to justify your habits... so you are in fact devaluing yourself

Seeing we are on this track Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every plant bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, which has seed in its fruit; to you it shall be for food.

it isn't really an opinion, is it 100% guaranteed that your next breath will be as easy/ thoughtless as the last? You a making an assumption based on faith. Or maybe a better example would be, you organize to go to dinner with a friend and to meet at 6pm at some specified location. There is no 100% guarantee that your friend will be make it for any number of reasons. But you have faith that they will.
