    More thoughts on understanding God/Source/Self hands

    The big problem with trying to understand God/Source is the natural sense of separation we have from God/Source.

    Most religions promote this sense, of being separate from God/Source.

    Why Are Humans Different From All Other Apes?

    CATCHING FIRE

    How Cooking Made Us Human

    By Richard Wrangham

    309 pages. Basic Books. $26.95



    Human beings are not obviously equipped to be nature's

    gladiators. We have no claws, no armor. That we eat meat

    seems surprising, because we are not made for chewing it

    uncooked in the wild. Our jaws are weak; our teeth are

    blunt; our mouths are small. That thing below our noses?

    It truly is a pie hole.



    To attend to these facts, for some people, is to plead

    for vegetarianism or for a raw-food diet. We should

    forage and eat the way our long-ago ancestors surely

    did. For Richard Wrangham, a professor of biological

    anthropology at Harvard and the author of "Catching

    Fire," however, these facts and others demonstrate

    something quite different. They help prove that we are,

    as he vividly puts it, "the cooking apes, the creatures

    of the flame."



    The title of Mr. Wrangham's new book - "Catching Fire:

    How Cooking Made Us Human" - sounds a bit touchy-feely.

    Perhaps, you think, he has written a meditation on

    hearth and fellow feeling and s'mores. He has not.

    "Catching Fire" is a plain-spoken and thoroughly

    gripping scientific essay that presents nothing less

    than a new theory of human evolution, one he calls "the

    cooking hypothesis," one that Darwin (among others)

    simply missed.



    Apes began to morph into humans, and the species Homo

    erectus emerged some two million years ago, Mr. Wrangham

    argues, for one fundamental reason: We learned to tame

    fire and heat our food.



    "Cooked food does many familiar things," he observes.

    "It makes our food safer, creates rich and delicious

    tastes and reduces spoilage. Heating can allow us to

    open, cut or mash tough foods. But none of these

    advantages is as important as a little-appreciated

    aspect: cooking increases the amount of energy our

    bodies obtain from food."



    He continues: "The extra energy gave the first cooks

    biological advantages. They survived and reproduced

    better than before. Their genes spread. Their bodies

    responded by biologically adapting to cooked food,

    shaped by natural selection to take maximum advantage of

    the new diet. There were changes in anatomy, physiology,

    ecology, life history, psychology and society." Put

    simply, Mr. Wrangham writes that eating cooked food -

    whether meat or plants or both -made digestion easier,

    and thus our guts could grow smaller. The energy that we

    formerly spent on digestion (and digestion requires far

    more energy than you might imagine) was freed up,

    enabling our brains, which also consume enormous amounts

    of energy, to grow larger. The warmth provided by fire

    enabled us to shed our body hair, so we could run

    farther and hunt more without overheating. Because we

    stopped eating on the spot as we foraged and instead

    gathered around a fire, we had to learn to socialize,

    and our temperaments grew calmer.



    There were other benefits for humanity's ancestors. He

    writes: "The protection fire provided at night enabled

    them to sleep on the ground and lose their climbing

    ability, and females likely began cooking for males,

    whose time was increasingly free to search for more meat

    and honey. While other habilines" - tool-using prehumans

    - "elsewhere in Africa continued for several hundred

    thousand years to eat their food raw, one lucky group

    became Homo erectus - and humanity began."



    You read all this and think: Is it really possible that

    this is an original bit of news? Mr. Wrangham seems as

    surprised as we are. "What is extraordinary about this

    simple claim," he writes, "is that it is new."



    Mr. Wrangham arrives at his theory by first walking us

    through the work of other anthropologists and

    naturalists, including Claude Levi-Strauss and Darwin,

    who did not pay much attention to cooking, assuming that

    humans could have done pretty well without it.



    He then delivers a thorough, delightfully brutal

    takedown of the raw-food movement and its pieties. He

    cites studies showing that a strict raw-foods diet

    cannot guarantee an adequate energy supply, and notes

    that, in one survey, 50 percent of the women on such a

    diet stopped menstruating. There is no way our human

    ancestors survived, much less reproduced, on it. He

    seems pleased to be able to report that raw diets make

    you urinate too often, and cause back and hip problems.



    Even castaways, he writes, have needed to cook their

    food to survive: "I have not been able to find any

    reports of people living long term on raw wild food."

    Thor Heyerdahl, traveling by primitive raft across the

    Pacific, took along a small stove and a cook. Alexander

    Selkirk, the model for Robinson Crusoe, built fires and

    cooked on them.



    Mr. Wrangham also dismisses, for complicated social and

    economic reasons, the popular Man-the-Hunter hypothesis

    about evolution, which posits that meat-eating alone was

    responsible. Meat eating "has had less impact on our

    bodies than cooked food," he writes. "Even vegetarians

    thrive on cooked diets. We are cooks more than

    carnivores."



    Among the most provocative passages in "Catching Fire"

    are those that probe the evolution of gender roles.

    Cooking made women more vulnerable, Mr. Wrangham

    ruefully observes, to male authority.

    UFO video clip. The person who gave this to me said it was taken with a cell phone, in Saudi on July 1st, at a place called Yonbu, near Jedda. You be the judge. However, information sent to us after posting this video shows it to be a clever computer generated fake. But the clip is still worth watching.
