Biologist Mark Pagel shares an intriguing theory about why humans evolved our complex system of language. He suggests that language is a piece of “social technology” that allowed early human tribes to access a powerful new tool: cooperation. (Recorded at TEDGlobal 2011, July 2011)

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been swamped at work. :( A lot has happened in the world and I can't keep up with everything in real time, so there is a certain lag in my posts. But here's something at least interesting. A new dinosaur species was found, and guess where of all places, Romania! You have a picture of how the thing might look like (since they haven't found a full skull it's pretty hard to be sure) and a vid that describes it below. I hope you like. Enjoy!
Awesome lecture by Richard Dawkins.
Jeremy Rifkin on the evolution of human empathy. Awesome video. I guarantee you'll love it!
