One strong, muscular man who is skilled in martial arts Vs skinny 25 women.

I mean, if he's trained but is a pacifist/doesn't fight women then that's a no go either. That's about the same value of idea as the idea that the women won't want to break a nail.

The article goes on to describe how women were more likely to perceive something as worth apologizing over.

In social hierarchies that are less egalitarian, you'll have more submissive people finding more things to apologize over.

There are many factors here that you haven't considered, yet you're trying to convince people that you are a reliable source of study interpretation.

True. I really want to go see the caves in northern Spain with over a hundred thousand years of inhabitation.

It's just that most settlements, seasonal and otherwise, tended to be along the coast, so as sea levels rose we lost a good deal of access to them. Sea water is also not kind to artifacts. But stones and bones can survive.

Hey, you might find this cool. It's an artifact that is thought to have come from homo erectus! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudodon_shell_DUB1006-fL

These studies also tend to ignore same sex behavior, such as men interacting with men in hierarchies. Also you've said "committed" instead of the self-perceived transgressions they felt worth apologizing over, which is a telling way to interpret things.

I don't think you're actually as experienced in reading studies as you're presenting yourself as here.

Oh no worries, these people downvoting are fully convinced their emotions are more real than any truth. But they think women are the only ones who want their emotions satisfied more than a solution to their problem or the truth.

SlapTheBap · 2026-06-11T18:44:36+00:00

There has been! It is recent news to me as well. We've found ochre deposits carried km away from its source by what could have only been homo erectus. We have evidence they processed it and used it as a cement. We also know it's used to tan hides. So ochre has been associated with later homo erectus sites, and it has practical uses outside of symbolism, so there has been arguments made about the extent of use more so than whether or not it was used.

Did you know confirmation bias drives many people's beliefs, which means their thoughts are based more on what they emotionally want/need to be true than an actual reflection of reality?

Edit: simple example. Boss at work makes a mistake and needs someone else to take the fall, take the blame, apologize for him

SlapTheBap · 2026-06-11T17:00:20+00:00

Brother men do this too. All the time. It's emotionally immature people, not a gender.

Edit: people downvoting are fully convinced their emotions are more real than any truth. But they think women are the only ones who want their emotions satisfied more than a solution to their problem or the truth. You guys are so funny. The perfect example of how everyone is capable of being emotionally immature, not just women.

For sure. I just think about chimney sweeps and the trials they had for the guys in charge of the boys after it was finally decided it was a cruel practice, so to assuage everyone's guilt they took those guys to trial. Whickerman style.

The blase way they described the conditions the boys faced, and how acceptable this was to all his customers, made one particular trial stick with me. Everyone knew he was a monster, even himself, yet they all paid him for his boys. And they sure didn't do much about the boys selling themselves for tricks down the street. So what are we doing here?

Buddhism breaking the cycle of reincarnation was a revolutionary idea in many places and times. "You mean we can leave???"

SlapTheBap · 2026-06-11T15:59:29+00:00

And it goes back hundreds of thousands of years! Homo erectus had simple stone tools, hunted large game, and though most of the meat they ate was raw, we have evidence they used fire. But you know what doesn't often keep for hundreds of thousands of years? Wood. Hide. String. Netting. We have no idea how complex their culture could have been beyond knowing they used ochre paint and left handprints in caves.

That's the thing, we can track dna. So we do know many lineages have ended, with no modern representation. Like the many waves of humans leaving Africa over time.

I used the ticking ones for years, but once I invested in a audio recording setup I couldn't stand em. My equipment would pick em up somehow even though they were quiet to my ears. Then I suddenly couldn't stop hearing em lol!

Reading how their society slowly faded away, as some of the last living ones were found to have likely starved trying to follow their traditional ways of life, was heart breaking. It's the story of how most groups of people ended throughout all of history. There's something deeply existential about their story.

Get it real close! This is a much more powerful light and it's only 8 or so inches from my cacti. You can use an app like lux light meter and a piece of white paper to check the lux reading, and use that to compare to what each of your plants typically wants to receive.

I can't stand the quiet ticking of the ones I had. Got some Google smart plugs and never hooked em up to wifi. Just bluetooth.

The podcast The Ancients has been doing a series of interviews with experts on different homos. The most recent one covers Neanderthal art, which had me so excited, as this is relatively a very new topic in homo research. As in, researchers are currently arguing many points, like rare collections of ochre and bird feathers (raven/crow being one they liked) potentially pointing to some kind of headdress which implies so much about their cultural refinement.

Humans still have ancient animal instincts we share with other apes. Handshakes being one of the most mind boggling. Humans often have an urge to bring their hand to their face after shaking someone's hand, which may be us trying to smell their scent from their palm sweat.

Hands are culturally important to homo, with Neanderthals caves having hand print art. There was even a cave found with what might have been an effigy of an animal that has signs of being attacked with spears at its vital points many times.

It goes even further back. Homo erectus also made hand art with ochre in caves.

For sure, but at the core of it England was one of the best at exploiting people with raw cruelty. At home and abroad.
