    He was right, because imagination performs only in our mind, belief is the combination of work and mind. Believe it or not.

    Fuentes is for antropology, sociology, palæontology and philosophy what Piketty is for the economics. Outstanding scientific work. Simply outstanding

    What this made me think if is, imagination is a general term,whatone iagines can be transcient or more permanant.
    For me beliefs suggest long-term commitmentto what one imagines. When I think of it from this perspective, beliefs in the individual, become shared beliefs in the group that now form our behavioral strategies, more than genes, memes.
    Central to our setting course for future generations of Homo sapiens, the point of our evolution

    *Can Humans be Tamed?*
    We need to develop ourselves as human beings beyond our animate level of existence, and it is possible with a certain kind of education.
    Developing ourselves as human beings means learning and balancing ourselves with the integral laws of nature operating on our lives. If we learn how to positively connect among each other in human society, with altruistic attitudes replacing our current egoistic attitudes, we then develop ourselves beyond the animate level of existence and become human beings in the fullest sense of the term.
    First, we need to provide for our animate lives, giving our physical bodies the food, sex and family that they require, then after taking care of those essentials, we can begin our human development. We then need to learn who and what we are, where we are from, why we exist, how we can develop ourselves, how we can control our human development, what our attitude to our surrounding society should be, what society’s attitude should be toward us, and how we can develop together harmoniously, i.e. us in relation to society, and society in relation to us.
    We need to supply ourselves with this development that will make us human beings. Unfortunately, I see nobody understanding what it means to develop a human being, and we thus fail to realize such a process. One of the outcomes of our lack of development into human beings is our inability to understand the younger generation. We become increasingly detached from them, and do not know what will happen with them or how to guide them in a beneficial direction. We thus let life unfold as it does, into a proliferation of problems and crises.
    Very simply, we need to learn what nature wants from us, and to develop in order to balance with nature’s demands toward us. If we meet those demands, we can then build a harmonious and peaceful world, one that is in balance with nature.

    Great to see hyenas getting the notoriety they deserve in terms of human evolution. Can't wait for the second lecture!

      ​@@Adrian-qi5ii yes, precisely because what you are saying, genetics are biology, race is a construct by use of geographical and phenotypical traits, it's not rocket science, man, think about Turkish and Colombians; they look the same in many cases, but they could be different racial categories. Same as Australian natives and Africans, Nepali from some regions will look Chinese-Asian, but some consider them Indians, etc, etc. Arabs and Indians might look white in many cases.

      @@Adrian-qi5ii oh yes cranial features like those who said that Irish have "negroid" structure. Many genes are distributed homogeneously in many geographical parts of the world, but the interaction with other genes makes the phenotype. But the category of race is geographical and cultural too. So race is not a very smart way to categorise specially because many "races" have way more genetic diversity than others or have more in common with other groups of people who are categorized as other race.
