Historically researchers of neuroscience and psychology have believed that the cerebral cortex produces the unique mental capacities of human beings. However, a prevalence of brain-imaging evidence now shows that the cerebral cortex, while the seat of our everyday experience (notably in working memory), is not predominant in actually formulating our amazing capabilities. Rather, the achievements that mark humans as "Homo sapiens" originate in the cerebellum which increased three- to fourfold in size and acquired massive cognitive and social optimization capabilities over the last million years. Thus, through its optimization of experience and skill of the cerebral cortex, it was the cerebellum that was and is predominant in producing culture, language, mathematics, creativity, and extreme levels of skill in all areas from sports to computer science and art. These optimizing functions of the cerebellum are shown in the cases of Albert Einstein, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Maryam Mirzakhani, and the predictive powers of Stonehenge. This book fills a critical role in bringing courses up-to-date with the profound, basic changes this newly understood predominant role of the cerebellum provides for understanding the mechanisms related to all topics in psychology and neuroscience. It is critical that this "new revolution in psychology and the neurosciences" be introduced and reviewed in courses that are part of both undergraduate and graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience. This text might also be of use to courses in anthropology and cross-disciplinary studies as the cerebellum was critically involved in the evolution of cognitive and social behaviour. 1 Illustrations, black and white; XI, 127 p. 1 illus.
Did scientists discover the oldest Homo sapiens remains on record? Depends on your definition of what’s human.

1. Once, to treat an earache, a nurse administered ear drops to a patient's rectum, because the doctor had abbreviated "right ear" to "R ear". Neither patient nor nurse questioned why the ear drops should go there.

Homo-Sapiens appearence around 65,000 BC doomed Neanderthal, who was unable to compete with the more advanced Cro-Magnon. Our direct decendants inherited the planet from the Neanderthal around 60,000 BC. His dominence paved the way to our own ascendancy. This diorama supposedly is a snapshot of life some 35,000 to 25,000 BC. OVER 6000 VIEWS! THAT'S AMAZING. THANK YOU EVERYONE.
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli is so incredibly amazing! This book explores LGBTQ in such a refreshing way.

An incredible Neanderthal skeleton has been found at a site which has taught us plenty about Neanderthal burial practices. Archaeologists are not only
Imagine a portrait that showed not only who you are, but where you came from hundreds of generations ago through your unique genetic code.
In his book Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari packs the history of humanity into 400 pages. "In some areas we've done amazingly well," the historian says. "In other areas we've done amazingly bad."

CAVE art and jewelry found in Spain is too old to have been made by modern humans. Animals, hand stencils and shell jewelry were made by Neanderthals
L’artiste à l’origine de cette peinture rupestre d’un imposant sanglier aurait voulu représenter l’une des principales proies chassées à l’époque.
The results of an extensive analysis of a 50,000-year-old toe bone belonging to a Neanderthal woman, which was unearthed in a cave in 2010, have been long awaited. Now, after much anticipation, the findings have finally been released by the journal Nature, and they have not disappointed.
