I answered the question: If only the strong survived, why are the weak here still with us today?
The best hunter -a valuable member of the hunting band- was not the most intelligent. He was silent, strong and resistant.
These hunter guys were reproducing as fast as they could get meat back to the camp, only resting (as eager girls let them :-) to go hunt again.
More meat, more girls and so it went.
The most intelligent guys where, loud, slow and not much resistant to track and charge the prey. Nobody followed their lead. They were good at sounding alarm -yes they were really loud and good at making sounds- that a dangerous animal was coming at them, that is, they were valuable only when they were hunted!
They were fed up with the hunters taking all those girls as fast as they could feed them.
Maximum they go for was the older ladies.
Until they translated that sound skills in hunting success by:
Communicating type of prey, how many and where they were.
Then the silent, strong and resistant types would get them faster and more accurately by focusing where the real intelligent guys were pointing them to go.
The girls quickly discovered that there was now more meat the type they liked, more constantly available instead of one day feasting one week hungry.
The girls discovered they could learn how to make sounds faster than men. They communicated to them the type of meat they should go after and the slow guys could communicate that to the hunting pack during action.
Thus they start mating with the intelligent, loud, slow guys. Probably they could tell the guys: put your hand there, yes, yes, right there and they understood :-)
Here today the we have highly developed languages plus lots of intelligent guys, loud, slow guys. |
