Please help. I'm confused on this issue.

Also, why do humans have such huge brains? Brains use up ~60% of newborn's energy.
Evolutionists, help me out, what was the purpose of huge brains even before we had agriculture and reliable sources of food?

Originally posted by AThousandYoungThe product doesn't explain the process, Thousand. Our "common ancestor" (what apes and us supposedly branced off from) had ridiculously small brains.

It depends on what you define "human" as. Homo sapiens sapiens probably evolved from Homo sapiens (archaic) which evolved from Homo erectus.

If Homo sapien (archaic) died out 200,000 years ago, where does that leave us?
I will remind you that Neanderthals are nearly as distant from us as chimps.
I'd also like to add that in Genesis, two different wor ...[text shortened]... us expression which occurred 25,000-50,000 years ago, and was something Neanderthals did not do.[/b]
