Both Sooky and Nick Daicos are Homer in this clip, monkey faced gorilla sounds exactly like Dick Naicos BTW

That’s really impressive.
You’ve got a law degree as well haven’t you, whats your other degree in?

First (and favourite) degree was History/Ancient History (Medieval & Renaissance, Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome).

Sounds like cart before the horse? Like surely you need the big brain to learn to swim, light a fire and understand the importance of eating your 2 and 5

As far as I understand it, and having a little knowledge while being far from an expert, evolution tends to not occur in a linear fashion but in sudden leaps ("punctuated equilibrium"). There may have been some selective pressures that led to higher intelligence in our pre-hominid ancestors relative to other Apes, but when that intelligence is then used to engage in novel behaviours all of a sudden there's a huge shift in social behaviour and further selection tends to select for individuals that can maintain and improve this (control of fire did come, I believe, when there was a clear human lineage, and by allowing meat to be cooked all of a sudden there's reduced parasites in the diet; the aquatic ape theory applies for much earlier in the evolutionary scale).

The interesting thing is we are observing such potential adaptations in other species, now. Chimps are using tools and as a species are likely more intelligent than previously. There's indications of ritual behaviours in elephants, which may precede the development of religious belief (but there's also a counter argument that we're anthropomorphising such behaviour to make it make sense to the observer's own experience).

I can understand why, good one.

It’s called the Kruger Dunning effect, there are a lot of campaigners around here with that affliction.

It's Dunning-Kruger, but agree with your point (and not just here, with a lot of people in general)

I sometimes dyslexia have so at least I was close.

A pleasant detour from the usual #dadjokes spam produced by me!
