Your article claims that prolonged childhood is a selective disadvantage and therefore proof against evolution? To prove this he chooses to use a child psychologist?? That’s silly to the absurd. Had he chosen to provide a compare/contrast dissertation about the advantages of rapid development vs. slow maturity in a natural setting it may have been at least compelling. I’m sorry, GGG. This one wasn’t worth your time to post. I’d like to see more of the literature research study article that you sometimes post. They are much more informative.
Thanks for posting this anyway.
You think we should mention that all advanced animals go through a “childhood” period? Or do we want to just let them continue to think Humans are the only ones?
It is a popular-level article—not a science paper—that focuses on how the Evos often personify evolution in order to make sense of biological features that don’t make sense via the Darwinian mechanism of slow, incremental change.
