////////////////JUN8-World Oceans Day

Our "Blue Planet" is blue for a reason - it is 71% ocean. Yet the
oceans are the least well known regions and the easiest forgotten
in our daily lives.
To help us remember, the UN declared June 8 2009 as the first
ever annual UN World Oceans Day - a day on which we are
encouraged to think of the benefits that oceans bring to us, the
vulnerable and damaged state of the oceans, and what we can do
collectively, and in our individual lives, to help restore the
oceans.


/////////////////Kind of. "Creativity" as I use it here is a general, non-technical term
for the overall phenomenon of a Universe that goes from the
non-structured state following the big bang, to the structured state of
galaxies and solar systems, and on at least one of those solar systems
such things as a few million different species of living beings, and
from one of those species such things as buildings, machines, and art
work. Creativity is a more colorful word for self-organization, and
emphasizes that self-organization results in novelty.

"Emergence" is also a way of thinking about self-organization. However,
it is a somewhat vague term. It is my opinion that the problem with the
word "emergence" is that some people think of it as a theory, but it
really is only a descriptive term. It is a description, however, that
puts in the foreground certain phenomenon that science has traditionally
put in the background. For example, it highlights the unpredictable,
where traditionally science tended to highlight the predictable.

PSD=Overall I would say that the "creativity" of the Universe tends to
"emerge" at certain nodes. Thus, biology emerges out of chemistry at a
very specific node, but once it emerges, a whole parcel of new
possibilities emerges with it, including the further emergence of a
species that can intentionally design and create.

/////////////////Toba catastrophe theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


the eruption might have looked like from approximately 50 miles (80 km) above Pulau Simeulue
According to the Toba catastrophe theory, 70,000 to 75,000 years ago a supervolcanic event at Lake Toba, on Sumatra, reduced the world's human population to 10,000 or even a mere 1,000 breeding pairs, creating a bottleneck in human evolution. The theory was proposed in 1998 by Stanley H. Ambrose[1] of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[2][3]

///////////////////PROFOUND SENSE OF THE RIDICULOUS



/////////////////As numerous studies over recent years have shown, perhaps most famously at Blombos Cave, modern humans were using coloured ochre and etching patterns into surfaces a good 40,000 years before cave painting and figurative art became much more widespread, and there is evidence from elsewhere in Africa of the use of ochre, manufacture of shell beads etc., dating back tens and even hundreds of thousands of years beforehand. Moreover, the use of fire to treat resin in the manufacture of adhesive for use in hafting tools is first known from the Neanderthals (who were probably the first to bury their dead) at around 80,000 years ago, again by moderns at around 60 kya, whilst evidence of ochre use, modification of pebbles, rocks and shells goes back to the Lower Palaeolithic. These factors indicate that the crucial components required for complex cognitive thought and lateral thinking were in place at the emergence of the first anatomically modern humans, the lifespan of the Neanderthals and quite possibly other archaic species before them.



/////////////////we can say with some confidence that the estimate of humanity’s ‘out of Africa’ migration was around 60-70,000 years ago — some 10-20,000 years earlier than previously thought.”




/////////////////news of the discovery of the oldest known pottery — 17,500-18,300 years old from the Yuchanyan Cave in the Hunan province of China that I wanna share with you.

Let me remind you that the Yuchanyan cave also yielded the oldest kernels of rice in 2005 so it’s not too surprising to find old vessels to store the rice. The big shake up here is that previously, the Jōmon of Japan were considered to be the inventors of ancient pot making, with vessels dated to an age between 16,000 and 17,000 years ago.


n fact, ceramic objects, such as Gravettian figurines likes the Venus of Dolní Věstonice those from Dolni Vestonice, Czech Republic, a clay statuette of a female figure, is dated to 29,000–25,000 BCE. The distinction here is that the Yuchanyan pot is oldest known clay vessel.
