<ul><li>A scientist from outer space would immediately classify humans as a third species of chimpanzee.</li><li>Scientists right here on Earth know that we share more than 98 percent of our genetic makeup with the other two chimps. The difference between our genes and chimps’ genes is small. Yet that small difference must have been responsible for the things that make humans unique.</li></ul>

 WHAT MAKES US HUMAN?

<ul><li>Human children took years to acquire the information and experience they needed to be efficient hunter-gatherers, just as today they take years to learn how to be farmers or computer programmers.</li><li>Human children depend on parents to bring food to them. This seems natural to us, but it is exceptional in the primate world. Baby apes gather food for themselves as soon as they are weaned.</li><li>That parental burden means that care by the father as well as the mother is important if the child is to survive.</li></ul>

A STRANGE LIFE CYCLE

<ul><li>For animals, copulation is a dangerous luxury. Animals in the act of mating burn energy and neglect opportunities to obtain food. </li><li>They are also vulnerable to predators who want to eat them or rivals who want to take over their territory. </li><li>Copulation is something to be accomplished in the minimum time needed for fertilization.</li><li>Sex is pleasurable, but evolution made it that way. If our species weren’t getting some evolutionary benefit from our sexual activities, the world would have been taken over by mutant humans who evolved not to enjoy sex.</li></ul>

Dangerous Luxury 

<ul><li>The answer must have to do with the cost of repair. Think again about car repairs. Suppose you buy an expensive car that you expect to last for a long time. It makes sense to invest in regular maintenance, which is cheaper than discarding your car and buying a new one every few years.</li><li>In the same way, how much energy an animal “should” invest in biological repairs depends on the cost of the repairs, and how long the animal can expect to live with and without them.</li></ul>

Why can’t we naturally repair or replace everything in our body?

<ul><li>People from sunny Africa have black skin. So do people from other sunny areas, such as southern India and New Guinea. Skin gets paler as you move north or south away from the equator, until you reach northern Europe, where you find the palest skin of all.</li><li>Obviously, dark skin evolved in people who were exposed to a lot of sunlight, because dark skin protects against sunburn.</li></ul>

Does Natural Selection Explain Skin Color?

<ul><li>Darwin had noticed that many animals have features with no obvious survival value, such as the long, colorful tails of male peacocks and the dark, shaggy manes of male lions.</li><li>These features do help animals get mates, however, either by attracting individuals of the opposite sex or by intimidating rivals. Their genes will get passed on, and those genes will spread through a population because of sexual selection, or mating preferences, not because of natural selection.</li></ul>

Sexual Selection and Physical Appearances

“In the framework of evolutionary biology, success is measured in terms of leaving more offspring.”

<ul><li>Agriculture brought great increases in the amount of food we were able to store. This meant that more people could survive. But agriculture also brought disease, inequality between the sexes and between social classes, and the tyranny of powerful rulers.</li><li>Agriculture began to appear only about ten thousand years ago.</li><li>For most of our history, all humans had to be hunter-gatherers, living by hunting wild animals and gathering wild food plants.</li><li>Why did almost all our hunter-gatherer ancestors adopt agriculture? They adopted it, of course, because it is an efficient way to get more food for less work.</li></ul>

AGRICULTURE, FOR BETTER AND WORSE

<ul><li>Nutrition is another difference. Farmers concentrate on crops such as rice and potatoes, which are high in carbohydrates.</li><li>Hunter-gatherers are healthy and suffer from little disease. They enjoy a varied diet, and they do not experience the food shortages and famines that can happen to farmers who are dependent on just a few crops.</li><li>t is almost unimaginable for Bushmen, who use 85 edible wild plants, to starve to death. In the 1840 s, however, about a million irish farmers and their families starved when a plant disease attacked potatoes, which they relied on as their staple crop and food.</li></ul>

The Lives of Hunter-Gatherers

Why would we do something that we know to be harmful or dangerous?<ul><li>They do so because our drugs of abuse are addictive—once you start, the chemistry of the drug affects the brain, making you want to continue.</li><li>Ten thousand years ago we “displayed” by challenging a lion or a tribal enemy. Today we do it in other dangerous ways, such as driving fast or consuming dangerous drugs.</li></ul>

WHY DO WE SMOKE, DRINK, AND USE DANGEROUS DRUGS?

<ul><li>It is the instinct to rely on handicap signals as a sign of strength. Whiskey and cigarette ads are cleverly directed at that old instinct, with their messages that smoking and drinking will bring status and make us attractive. </li><li>Drug addicts and alcoholics not only lead shorter lives, but they also become less attractive, not more, to possible mates. They also lose the ability to care properly for children.</li></ul>

False Messages

What would happen if we found alien —or it found us. Would we and the aliens sit down together for fascinating discussions? Would they share their advanced technology with us?<ul><li>Throughout history, human explorers who discovered technically less advanced humans responded by shooting them, devastating their populations with new diseases, and destroying or seizing their territory. Any advanced terrestrials who found us would surely treat us the same way.</li><li>For all practical purposes, we’re alone in a crowded universe. Thank goodness!</li></ul>

The Silence Is Deafening—Thank Goodness

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">One cloud is the risk of a nuclear war that could destroy us all.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">The second cloud is the risk of an environmental collapse. One potential cause of such a collapse is the gradual extinction of most of the world’s species.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Isn’t extinction a natural process? If so, why should we worry about the extinctions that are happening now? Yes, every species will eventually go extinct. But the current human-caused rate of extinction is much higher than the natural rate.</li></ul>

THE SECOND CLOUD

“We’re still more than 98 percent chimp in our genes.”

At some point during the last 100,000 years, humans began exhibiting traits and behavior that distinguished us from other animals, eventually creating language, art, religion, bicycles, spacecraft, and nuclear weapons—all within a heartbeat of evolutionary time….

The Development of an Extraordinary Species We human beings share 98 percent of our genes with chimpanzees. Yet humans are the dominant species on the planet -- having founded civilizations and religions, developed intricate and diverse forms of communication, learned science, built cities, and created breathtaking works of art -- while chimps remain animals concerned primarily with the basic necessities of survival. What is it about that two percent difference in DNA that has created such a divergence between evolutionary cousins? In this fascinating, provocative, passionate, funny, endlessly entertaining work, renowned Pulitzer Prize–winning author and scientist Jared Diamond explores how the extraordinary human animal, in a remarkably short time, developed the capacity to rule the world . . . and the means to irrevocably destroy it.

Two sides of DubaiWhen you look up for Dubai in Youtube or the internet, you'll mostly like find two sides of the country. On one side, you see that it is portrayed as a paradise, bragging about its safety, cleanliness, and no tax society.On the other side, you see that it is a hellscape filled with human rights abuse and truckloads of reasons that it is awful place to live.Dubai Porta PottyThis is a disturbing trend that is deemed abnormal in the society, where wealthy Arab paying instagram models and other female influencers up to 1 million to defecate on their faces.

A Modern-Day Nightmare

Like the Mongolian EmpireMongolia is one of the largest land empires in history, Dubai's future is no different than that.Mongolia was a city with no significant resources elevated to the wealthiest place in the space of a generation. This pattern matches Dubai's. Examining Dubai's glossy and vapid structures, like Burj Khalifa, which is hailed as the tallest tower in the world and many others, the country does not have great structures or creativity that can withstand the test of time. If these structures are left unmaintained, they'll be eaten by the desert in just a few decades.

Is Dubai's Future in Peril?

Tourism Capital of the WorldDubai aspires to be the top in tourism, building artificial islands and vapid skyscrapers, to attract the world's attention.Continuous Investment After discovering their newfound wealth - oil. Right decisions were made to build Dubai as a hub for finance, trade tourism, and real estate, propelling Dubai into the international stage with foreign investment & global talents. GamblingOne of the most significant factors contributing to their massive, extravagant is gambling big. They plan to build glossy & vacuous architecture with no cultural tie or meaning.

Knowledge Worth Knowing

<ul><li>"The Republic" is one of Plato's most famous philosophical works. </li><li>It is a dialogue between Socrates and several other characters and explores the nature of justice, the ideal state, and the human soul</li></ul>

Overview 

<ul><li> In one of the most fans, Plato describes an allegory of a cave, which symbolizes the journey from ignorance to enlightenment. </li><li>Prisoners in the cave represent those who are trapped in the material world, while those who escape represent the philosopher who seeks knowledge and truth</li></ul>

Allegory of the Cave**:

<ul><li> Plato argues that the ideal state should be ruled by philosopher-kings, individuals with a deep understanding of truth and justice. </li><li>He believes that only they can create a just society.</li></ul>

Philosopher King 

<ul><li> Plato divides the population into three classes: rulers (philosopher-kings), auxiliaries (warriors and protectors), and producers (farmers, artisans, etc.). </li><li>Each class has its own role and should not mix with the others</li></ul>

Guardians and Classes 

<ul><li>Plato also introduces the idea that the human soul has three parts: reason, spirit, and appetite. Justice in the individual occurs when these parts are in harmony, just as justice in the state occurs when the classes function harmoniously.</li></ul>

Justice And The Tripartite Soul 

<ul><li> Plato advocates for communal property and communal education to eliminate the distinctions between classes and promote unity and shared values.</li></ul>

Communal Property And Education 

<ul><li>Ultimately, "The Republic" seeks to define the characteristics of an ideal state where justice reigns, and individuals live in harmony with one another and with the pursuit of truth and wisdom</li></ul>

The Ideal State 

Insights from the book the republic by Plato. Read,save and share....... 

The Republic is written by Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher. It is renowned for its detailed description of political and ethical justice and its account of the organization of the ideal state. This seminal work is regarded as one of the most important dialogues. Unlike Socratic dialogues, the Republic reflects the positive views of Plato. Socrates was Platos teacher and the former is the main character in most of latters dialogues. The middle dialogues that are literary and philosophical contain sensitive portrayals of characters and their interactions. They display Platos explorations of philosophy.Plato, in the Republic, undertakes to show what justice is and why it is in each persons best interest to be just. The political discussion is undertaken to aid the ethical one. The ideal state, according to Plato, comprises three social classes: rulers, guardians (or soldiers), and producers (farmers and craftsmen). The rulers, who are philosophers, pursue the good of the entire state on the basis of their knowledge of the form of the Good and the form of the Just.

 Plato

The Republic

<ul><li>Most male mammals have no involvement with either their offspring or their offspring’s mother after inseminating her; they are too busy seeking other females to inseminate.</li><li>We're exceptional animals in that our fathers and mothers often remain together after copulating and are both involved in rearing the resulting child.</li></ul>

THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES

<ul><li>If fertilization is external, neither mother nor father is automatically committed to anything further, and both are theoretically free to seek another partner with whom to produce more fertilized embryos.</li><li>Yes, their just-fertilized embryos may need some care, but mother and father are equally able to try to bluff the other into providing that care.</li><li>But if fertilization is internal, the female is now pregnant and committed to nourishing the fertilized embryos until birth or laying.</li><li>If she is a mammal, she is committed for even longer, through the period of lactation.</li></ul>

External Vs Internal Fertilization 

<ul><li>But males of mammals and other internally fertilized animals have no corresponding confidence in their paternity.</li><li>Yes, the male knows that his sperm went into a female’s body. Sometime later, out of that female’s body, comes a baby. How does the male know whether the female copulated with other males while he wasn’t looking?</li><li>In the face of this uncertainty, the evolutionary conclusion reached by most male mammals is to walk off the job immediately after copulation, seek more females to impregnate, and leave those females to rear their offspring.</li></ul>

Uncertainty In Male's Paternity

<ul><li>Our sex is ultimately laid down by our genes, which in humans are bundled together in each body cell in twenty-three pairs of microscopic packages called chromosomes.</li><li>One member of each of our twenty-three pairs was acquired from our mother, and the other member from our father.</li><li>Men, who have a big chromosome (termed an X chromosome) paired with a small one (a Y chromosome).</li><li>Women instead have two paired X chromosomes.</li></ul>

Sex Chromosome

<ul><li>Many X chromosome genes specify traits unrelated to sex, such as the ability to distinguish red and green colors.</li><li>However, the Y chromosome contains genes specifying the development of testes.</li><li>In the fifth week after fertilization human embryos of either sex develop a “bipotential” gonad that can become either a testis or an ovary.</li><li>If a Y chromosome is present, that bet-hedging gonad begins to commit itself in the seventh week to becoming a testis, but if there’s no Y chromosome, the gonad waits until the thirteenth week to develop as an ovary.</li></ul>

Bipotential Gonad

<ul><li>The evolutionary battle of the sexes has resulted in parental care being provided by the mother alone in about 90 percent of all mammal species.. Not only do males of those species have no need to lactate; they also don’t have to bring food, defend a family territory, defend or teach their offspring.</li><li>Only for those 10 percent of mammal species in which male parental care is necessary does the question of male lactation even deserve consideration.</li></ul>

WHY DON’T MEN BREAST-FEED THEIR BABIES?

Those minority species include lions, wolves, gibbons, marmosets— and humans. But even in those species requiring male parenting, lactation isn’t necessarily the most valuable form that the father’s contribution can take. What a big lion really must do is to drive off hyenas and other big lions bent on killing his cubs.

THE NON-EVOLUTION OF MALE LACTATION 

<ul><li>Human milk is more dilute in nutrients, sugary, and low in fat.</li><li>Breast-fed babies acquire stronger immune defenses and are less susceptible to numerous diseases, including diarrhea, ear infections, early-age-onset diabetes, influenza, necrotizing enterocolitis, and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).</li><li>The helpless condition of human infants makes lots of parental care necessary for many years.</li></ul>

Importance Of Breastfeeding 

Why do most animals consider sex fun only when the female can be fertilized?<ul><li>There’s a simple reason why most other animals are sensibly stingy about copulatory effort: sex is costly in energy, time, and risk of injury or death.</li><li>Natural selection favors those individuals whose behavior lets them pass their genes to the most babies.</li></ul>

<ul><li>For the cavewoman, the male’s departure would expose her eventual child to the likelihood of starvation or murder.</li><li>What can she do to keep that man? Her brilliant solution: remain sexually receptive even after ovulating! Keep him satisfied by copulating whenever he wants! In that way, he’ll hang around, have no need to look for new sex partners, and will even share his daily hunting bag of meat.</li><li>Recreational sex is thus supposed to function as the glue holding a human couple together while they cooperate in rearing their helpless baby.</li></ul>

THE EVOLUTION OF RECREATIONAL SEX

It arose at a time when our ancestors were still promiscuous or living in harems. At such times, concealed ovulation let the ancestral ape-woman distribute her sexual favors to many males, none of which could swear that he was the father of her child but each of which knew that he might be. As a result, none of those potentially murderous males wanted to harm the ape-woman’s baby, and some may actually have protected or helped feed it.

THE ANIMAL WITH THE WEIRDEST SEX LIFE

<ul><li>By the criterion of services offered to mates and children, males of most mammal species are good for nothing except injecting sperm.</li><li>The males of many territorial animal species, such as songbirds, lions, and chimpanzees, spend much time patrolling their territories.</li></ul>

WHAT ARE MEN GOOD FOR? 

<ul><li>The show-offs also gains some advantages apart from adultery, such as prestige in his tribe’s eyes. Others in the tribe want him as a neighbor because of his gifts of meat, and they may reward him with their daughters as mates. For the same reason, the tribe is likely to give favored treatment to the show-off’s children.</li><li>A woman is best off married to a provider, but a man is not best off being a provider.</li></ul>

Advantages Of Show-off

<ul><li class="ql-align-center">Parent’s interests may be better served by abandoning one offspring and devoting resources to other offspring, whereas the offspring’s interests may be best served by surviving at the expense of its parents.</li><li class="ql-align-center">Natural selection ensures that our body unconsciously maintains and repairs itself.</li></ul>

<ul><li>Menopause - a woman’s egg supply gets depleted or impaired by around the time she is fifty years old. The challenge is to understand why we evolved that seemingly self-defeating detail of reproductive physiology.</li><li>That one cruel fact underlying human female menopause: the birth of each child immediately jeopardizes a mother’s previous children because of the mother’s risk of death in childbirth.</li></ul>

MAKING MORE BY MAKING LESS - FEMALE MENOPAUSE 

<ul><li>Even in affluent, twentieth-century Western societies, the risk of dying in childbirth is seven times higher for a mother over the age of forty than for a twenty-year-old mother.</li><li>But each new child puts the mother’s life at risk not only because of the immediate risk of death in childbirth but also because of the delayed risk of death related to exhaustion by lactation, carrying a young child.</li></ul>

THE EVOLUTION OF FEMALE MENOPAUSE 

<ul><li>Animals whose lifestyles carry a high risk of accidental death are evolutionarily programmed to stint on repair and to age rapidly.</li><li>Turtles, protected in the wild by a shell, are programmed to age more slowly than other reptiles, while porcupines, protected by quills, age more slowly than mammals comparable in size.</li></ul>

Risk Of Accidental Death 

<ul><li>We too rely on signals as arbitrary as a widowbird’s tail and a bowerbird’s crest. Our signals include faces, smells, hair color, men’s beards, and women’s breasts.</li><li>Human females signal reproductive maturity by expansion of the breasts. Later in life, we signal our waning fertility and attainment of wise elder status by the whitening of our hair.</li></ul>

TRUTH IN ADVERTISING 

<ul><li>Muscles are a truthful signal of male quality, like a deer’s antlers.</li><li>One might reason that beauty says nothing about good genes, parenting qualities, or food-gathering skills. However, the face is the part of the body most sensitive to the ravages of age, disease, and injury.</li><li>Especially in traditional societies, individuals with scarred or misshapen faces may thereby be advertising their proneness to disfiguring infections, inability to take care of themselves, or burden of parasitic worms.</li></ul>

THE EVOLUTION OF BODY SIGNALS

<ul><li>Our remaining candidate for a truthful signal is women’s body fat.</li><li>Lactation and child care are a big energy drain on a mother, and lactation tends to fail in an undernourished mother.</li><li>Hence a woman’s body fat would be a truthful signal to a man that she was capable of rearing his child.</li><li>Women of all populations tend to accumulate fat in the breasts and hips, to a degree that varies geographically.</li><li>Men throughout the world tend to be interested in women’s breasts, hips, and buttocks.</li></ul>

DISTRIBUTION OF WOMEN'S BODY FAT 

<ul><li>Scientists have suggested that large fatty breasts are not only an honest signal of good overall nutrition but also a deceptive specific signal of high milk-producing ability (deceptive because milk is actually secreted by breast glandular tissue rather than by breast fat).</li><li>Similarly, it has been suggested that fat deposition in the hips of women is also both an honest signal of good health and a deceptive specific signal suggesting a wide birth canal (deceptive because a truly wide birth canal would minimize the risk of birth traumas but mere fat hips would not).</li></ul>

Deceptive Specific Signal 

<ul><li>The length of the erect penis is only about 1 ¼ inches in gorillas and 1 ½ inches in orangutans but 5 inches in humans, even though males of the two apes have much bigger bodies than men.</li><li>The size of the penis that we evolved was unfortunately limited by the length of a woman’s vagina.</li><li>Hence a large penis’s cost should be regarded as a lost-opportunity cost: the energy squandered on one structure comes at the expense of energy potentially available for another structure.</li></ul>

WHY MEN HAVE LARGE PENIS?

<ul><li>Almost anyone would assert that the functions of the penis are to eject urine, inject sperm, and stimulate women physically during intercourse.</li><li>But the comparative approach teaches us that those functions are accomplished elsewhere in the animal world by a relatively much smaller structure than the one with which we encumber ourselves.</li><li>Thus, even the most familiar and seemingly most transparent piece of human sexual equipment surprises us with unsolved evolutionary questions.</li></ul>

UNSOLVED EVOLUTIONARY QUESTION

"Our greatest distinction as a species is our capacity, unique among animals, to make counter-evolutionary choices."

To us humans, the sex lives of animals seem weird. But it's our own sex lives that are truly bizarre. Stranger yet, we have sex at any time, even during periods of infertility, such as pregnancy or post-menopause. Why does the human female, virtually alone among mammals, go through menopause? Why does the human male stand out as one of the few mammals to stay with the female he impregnates, to help raise the children that he sired? Why is the human penis so unnecessarily large?

Why are humans one of the few species to have sex in private? Why do humans have sex any day of the month or year, including when the female is pregnant, beyond her reproductive years, or between her fertile cycles? Why are human females one of the few mammals to go through menopause? Human sexuality seems normal to us but it is bizarre by the standards of other animals. Jared Diamond argues that our strange sex lives were as crucial to our rise to human status as were our large brains. He also describes the battle of the sexes in the human and animal world over parental care, and why sex differences in the genetic value of parental care provide a biological basis for the all-too-familiar different attitudes of men and women towards extramarital sex.

Let's get to know why some people Excel at certain fields while most of us can't

Why Some Are Good At Something 

To excel in one field depends on the time you Invest in that field. The more hours you hustle,learn,think in that field the more you start understanding the mechanics of that field.

The Time They Put In 

The more you play that game,the more you start improving in that game but there comes a point at which we come to a saturation point after which no improvement is seen. To overcome this,we need need to either start playing with different tactics, different mindsets,even start taking help from others (multiplayers

Think That Field As Game :

The more we are exposed in that field the more we are ready to face any situation that would seem difficult to another person getting exposed to it for the first time. "Never get demotivated when you can't do something because if you knew it,then why are you learning ?

The More Exposure The Better 

Everyone knows at little bit that in which thing they are good at because no one knows our mind and body more than ourselves. You can never lie with yourself. The plus point can be anything - such as a hobby,your curiosity,your observation skills anything and try to inculcate them in your field of interest. Try to combine both of them in any way possible.

Try To Understand Your Plus Point

The only difference between us and a successful man 

The Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali is one of the most enigmatic artists of the twentieth century.
Known for his often strange and surreal subject matter, Dali's most famous work of art is The Persistence of Memory (1931), widely regarded as a masterpiece of Surrealism. What is the secret hidden meaning behind Salvador Dali's painting The Persistence of Memory and its iconic melting clocks?

Melting Clocks "The Persistence of Memory"

Sometimes referred to as just the "melting clocks" painting, in Dali's The Persistence of Memory (1931) a mysterious human-like white figure sleeps in an otherwise deserted landscape A clock covers the sleeping figure's back, almost the same way a blanket might cover a sleeping child. Nearby, another clock drapes over a limb. While we usually think of clocks as hard, unbending objects, Dali's clocks are flexible, malleable things that seem to be soft, perhaps melting away in the desert sun. What do these melting clocks mean? Why are they laying out there in the sun? What is the hidden meaning?

Questions About The Melting Clocks 

The concept of the dream is integral to understanding Surrealism and also plays a key role in unlocking the secret meaning of The Persistence of Memory.
For Surrealists, dreams were very important. A major goal of the art movement was to capture visually what it is like to be in the dream state. We have all had fantastic dreams where unrelated people, places, and objects come together in inexplicable and irrational ways. Understanding that The Persistence of Memory most likely relates to and depicts a dream state is the first step in revealing the hidden meaning of Salvador Dali’s mestery

It's Just A Dream!

Some art history scholars believe that Dali's melting clocks may symbolize Albert Einstein's groundbreaking Theory of Relativity, a new and revolutionary idea back in the 1930s. In his Theory of Relativity, Einstein proposed a new concept of time. According to Einstein’s theory, time is a relative and complex concept that cannot be tracked with such a crude, simple gadget as a clock or a pocket watch. In The Persistence of Memory, Dali’s clocks might be melting away because they are outmoded and losing power over the world around them. Limp and increasingly ineffectual.

Art Meets Science 

The Persistence of Memory is arguably Dali’s most famous painting. Its iconic "melting clocks" have become an icon of Surrealism and one of the most recognizable pieces of art of the twentieth century. While the painting's true secret meaning is uncertain, Salvador Dali most likely knowingly encrypted all of these layers of historical, psychological, artistic, social and autobiographical meaning into his mysterious, enduring work of art. There may be even more layers of meaning hidden in The Persistence of Memory that we haven't found yet.

Meaning of the Melting Clocks

Did you know? That art is the first human discovery? The oldest known art is believed to be over 40,000 years old. Cave paintings in locations like Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc Cave in France and Sulawesi, Indonesia, showcase early humans' creativity and desire for expression. Early premetive Human beings have also not lived only for bread and food, poems, cave paintings and hand crafts have been found to prove that art is a human integrated act, the following are the most five important artists you should know about, i would be happy if you would write your favorites in the comments after reading ❤️
