Or acted exactly like your average human would. I mean if I was omnipotent then the world would be approximately as fucked as it currently is.

There is no hint that the Pope or anyone else slow down science one bit during the Medieval times. Anyone who even played Medieval Total War would know this. One of the things that drives science is war. If there one thing Roman Empire was good at was war.

Also from what I've read from history it was Galileo's arrogance as well as belittling the wrong people (including those who support him) that got Galileo in trouble more than his idea. In fact even the church took Galileo's position before there were hard evidence to back it up.

==> I agree, there is a gap.

but they have language, they have memory, they are able to think, then they can learn too.

Pretty similar to us.

this is pretty similar to us. In fact, I would love to take human from different period to see what they are able to understand if we educated them FULLY from the birth :

Is the "-3Millions human" as intelligent as the "-5k" one ?

Is the -5k one as intelligent than us ? 

Am asking myself what define our capcitiy to learn, to make complex abstract concept for example, and how it has evolved in the specy.

Question to creationists still participating: When asking for proof that species evolve into different species, do microbes count? For instance, if I could prove conclusively that one species of bacteria evolved into a new species of bacteria, would that be satisfactory proof that evolution is a true process that occurs?

Or am I wrong, and no one is denying that evolution of species into new species has in fact occurred?

[edit:

As Rocketpig pointed out there is a substantial amount of evidence that they are in fact self aware. And in fact there is evidence they are also aware that other dolphins and even humans have individuality. They believe that Dolphins actually have names for themselves and other dolphins, which if true definitely shows awareness of both self and others.

Some have even speculated that Dolphins have creative and artistic abilities as well:

And as some of you may or may not have heard they are regarded as the only other species that engages in sex for fun :

@ libellule

i think weve been wondering about similar things.

ive also wondered what would happen if you could raise "primitive" humans in todays world.

ive also wondered what would happen if a modern human were raised without any language, or technology or any modern things. I would like to see if they were then at an older age able to still learn, and were still as "smart" as normal people.

curse those damn ethics commitees! lol jk.

"I'll just tackle the bolded part... The point I'm making is not that small gene pools are bad, it's that change more easily happens in smaller gene pools. After all, that's all evolution is... Change. Sometimes it can be good, most of the time it is bad. The bad dies off over time, the good flourishes. Expand the gene pool and the traits from inbreeding will disappear or diminish as dominant genes control recessive traits.

Realize that most of the time, evolution fails miserably. It is in the rare occasion that it actually works, which is why actually seeing it happen is like catching lightning in a bottle.

==> I think I get ur point.
I have made some biology too, just a little, just a little.

Hey ... Am I making a PhD in biology ? .... YES I AM !

Don't take this the wrong way but how do you "make a PhD?"

 He is french, thus his english isn't perfect, give the man a break.

Did not know thank you, I apologize for asking.
