Neanderthals, Sapiens & Adam (a.s.) - Mufti Abu Layth

does dr. Abdul sabor Shahin say the Adam developed in the Neanderthal womb no yahoo Neanderthals are not the forefathers of Homo sapiens so Neanderthals are like cousins to homo sapiens they share common ancestors but they're not from each other so Neanderthal genes are very close to homo sapiens but they are not identical so we have the the Neanderthal genome project was complete I think by 2010 they completed it and I think in the early 2000s the human genome project was

complete so they managed to decipher the whole DNA for human the human DNA and then with whatever they could with Neanderthals and show within a decade that we are not actually from Neanderthals however we like cousins to Neanderthals okay can't you tell with the blue you know if you go past Alan rock which in Birmingham quarry tell that we're cousins with Neanderthals did this any person's me well we've seen it

Oh bro any cosy so yeah so we're like cousins with Neanderthals okay so yeah so up the support Shahin is saying that Homo sapiens already existed as this is what you can kind of take from his research and from other people who've gone down this road they say that and today science supports that homo sapiens have existed maybe for three hundred thousand years so recently they found that the the fossil from in Morocco actually was it that's just in

recent times they just found that which pushed back the homo sapien because they thought homo sapiens were probably 100 250 thousand years old but it pushes it back to about 300 thousand years that said the cognitive revolution in Homo sapiens occurs around 70,000 years ago approximately so Homo sapiens for some reason about 70,000 years ago start behaving very differently all of a sudden they get art they stop you know they start painting in walls and and doing certain things and communicating in certain ways and setting out the Out of Africa kind of

journey to dissipate across the globe and Homo sapiens just behave very differently so what this what they call the cognitive revolution I believe that was Adam Adam was that the father of that the cognitive revolution it wasn't just being clever but it was having the level of consciousness that we have so consciousness is there by other like animals have consciousness to some extent but it's like degrees the way we can plan the way we can construct new knowledge the way we can pass on

knowledge to other people so human in fact there's a very good book actually people I a very interesting book called the illusion of knowledge and it's a very and in this book the person highlights how there is an illusion of how much knowledge we think we have we don't actually have that much knowledge compared to what we think we have as individuals that knowledge is a communal asset that human beings share the asset of knowledge and hence they can push it forth one human being cannot his

knowledge is too limited so as an example in the book the author highlights that there isn't a single human being alive today that has complete knowledge of like a Boeing jet an aeroplane not a single human being has absolute technical knowledge of the entirety of a Boeing aeroplane whereas there so there will be somebody who has complete knowledge of the aerodynamics another person who has complete knowledge of the electrics another person who has complete knowledge of maybe the kind of engineering another person who

but not one person would have the complete knowledge of the entire the entire knowledge of a Boeing aeroplane in a similar way like if there's many things that we think we take for granted and there was a this a reach there's some research that the author in this book the illusion of knowledge draws on one example is we a researcher this this lady the professor she gave her students after asking them how well do they think the knowledge is of bicycles of bikes and they said well yeah yeah of course

of course you know yeah yeah so what she did is she gave them all a piece of paper that had certain structures of a bicycle that was incomplete so I just had like their handles and he just had some actually asked them can you draw the rest can you complete the bike in its picture can you do even if it's a it doesn't have to be very artistic but just draw it surprisingly or whether you may anticipate this or not the majority of the people in that classroom could not draw the bike in its entirety for it

to work so they would either put the chains the chain on the bike wrong they would not connect the wheels they would not connect like the bike that they drew just would not work in the real world as a bike despite them rating their knowledge when they were asked that how would you rate your knowledge of bikes as in to ride a bike the design of a bike would you say it's pretty good you understand how bikes work so they most people rated themselves much higher than they actually were this illusion of knowledge that we rate ourselves as knowing much more than we actually do

exists so in that sense there there is this so we as human beings are social creatures I'll even hold on said I mean as Aristotle said before but you know Allen san Madden even be Taba that we are social creatures by Nature we rely on each other to kind of survive so that's the so I believe that this ability to create knowledge from scratch and then to be able to pass this this was the unique ability that Homo Sapien modern Homo sapiens the Adam aleihsalaam

had that his offspring have that gave them the upper hand against Neanderthals and other creatures on earth
