In the last three million or so years, the human brain has approximately trebled in size. This change, remarkable in its extent and speed, must have been caused by mutations - advantageous mutations - that swept through the populations of our ancestors as they wandered, generation after generation, across the African veldt.That such mutations must exist has long been obvious. The problem has been how to find them.

No fossil record - all those generations and NO FOSSIL record. Zip, nada, zero follil evidence exist anywhere -- almost makes a person doubt Darwin...

Huh? Plenty of homo erectus, other hominids and homo sapiens between 3 million years ago and now ...

Anyway, its fascinating that a severe disorder is helping us trace genes for brain development.

might get us back to believing that IQ is genetic, eh?

All these fossils and thousands more. Almost makes a person doubt you.

And so forth. Why do you antiscience wizards post such patently, absurdly false claims?
