Did Plants Domesticate Humans?

Click to Watch a Video from Scientific American  “While this provocative question might not be the way we learned about the history of agriculture in high school, it animates the current study of archaeology. What’s at stake is a matter of perspective—how we, as a species, see our place in nature and nature’s place in our own evolution. “…we should pause to consider the lessons from the past. And we should do so with humility over both the power we have to change the world and the limits of our imaginations.”

The Urantia Book teaches, “Work with the soil is not a curse; rather is it the highest blessing to all who are thus permitted to enjoy the most human of all human activities.” Read More

Love is more than a feeling. All true love comes from God, and the decision to love is the means by which we can actually share that love – let it flow through us to our world. The Urantia Book actually defines love as the “desire to do good to others. Read About Love Here

 Here is one example from The Urantia Book Papers:

 If each day or each week you achieve an understanding of one more of your fellows, and if this is the limit of your ability, then you are certainly socializing and truly spiritualizing your personality. Love is infectious, and when human devotion is intelligent and wise, love is more catching than hate. But only genuine and unselfish love is truly contagious. Read the Urantia Paper

When Did Humans First Speak?

/in

Estimates range wildly, from as late as 50,000 years ago to as early as the beginning of the human genus more than 2 million years ago. But words leave no traces in the archaeological record. A team led by Thomas Morgan, a psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, has attacked the problem in a very different way. Rather than considering toolmaking as a proxy for language ability, he and his colleagues explored the way that language may help modern humans learn to make such tools. Read More

The Urantia Book teaches about language: Before the extensive dispersion of the Andonic clans a well-developed language had evolved from their early efforts to intercommunicate. This language continued to grow, and almost daily additions were made to it because of the new inventions and adaptations to environment which were developed by these active, restless, and curious people.” Read More

The Brain After 40

Gathered evidence suggests that in the fifth decade of life (that is, after a person turns 40), the brain starts to undergo a radical “rewiring” that results in diverse networks becoming more integrated and connected over the ensuing decades, with accompanying effects on cognition.”   Read More

On the evolutionary worlds, will creatures traverse three general developmental stages of being: From the arrival of the Adjuster to comparative full growth, about twenty years of age on Urantia, the Monitors are sometimes designated Thought Changers. From this time to the attainment of the age of discretion, about forty years, the Mystery Monitors are called Thought Adjusters. From the attainment of discretion [40 years] to deliverance from the flesh, they are often referred to as Thought Controllers. Is there a connection? Certainly this is an interesting coincidence.

According to an article in Forbes, gratitude is the act of feeling and communicating appreciation for the people, circumstances and material possessions in our lives. Scientifically, the positive effects of gratitude have been proven for a variety of purposes.

Chances of Living on the Moon Just Got Better

According to a report on NPR, parts of the moon have stable temperatures fit for humans. The moon has pits and caves where temperatures stay at roughly 63 degrees Fahrenheit, making human habitation a possibility, according to new research from planetary scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles. Although much of the moon’s surface fluctuates from temperatures as high as 260 degrees during the day to as low as 280 degrees below zero at night, researchers say these stable spots could transform the future of lunar exploration and long-term habitation.

The Urantia Book says, “Not all planets are suited to harbor mortal life. Small ones having a high rate of axial revolution are wholly unsuited for life habitats. Many of these enormous spheres have satellites, sometimes a half dozen or more, and these moons are often in size very near that of Urantia, so that they are almost ideal for habitation.” Read More
