Traditionally there are three ways to experiment on the brain: neurology (studying patients with brain lesions), neurophysiology (monitoring the activity of neural circuits or even of single cells), and brain imaging. Specialists in each of these areas are mutually contemptuous and have tended to see their own methodology as the most important window on brain functioning, but in recent decades there has been a growing realization that a combined attack on the problem is needed. Even philosophers have now joined the fray. Some of them, like Pat Churchland and Daniel Dennett, have a broad vision, which can be a valuable antidote to the narrow cul-de-sacs of specialization that the majority of neuroscientists find themselves trapped in.

Evolution, in effect, turned culture into the new genome. Armed with culture, humans could adapt to hostile new environments and figure out how to exploit formerly inaccessible or poisonous food sources in just one or two generations—instead of the hundreds or thousands of generations such adaptations would have taken to accomplish through genetic evolution.

البشر يتميزون عن باقي القردة العليا بأنّهم "أكثر شبهًا بالأطفال." يعني الفرد البشري حتى لما يكبر ويتحول لكائن بالغ، رح يبقى محتفظ ببعض الصفات الجسدية مال الأطفال مثل الشعر القليل نسبيًا على الجسم والعيون الجبيرة وعظام حاجب غير بارزة. أمّا سلوكيًا، فالبشر حتى بعد البلوغ يستمرون بامتلاك مرونة عصبية بشكل كبير وهالشي مهم كلش للتعلم والذكاء.

The evolution of a species is reiterated during embryonic development. In early stages of embryonic development, the human heart resembles that of a fish, in that each chamber is undivided and blood exits through a single aorta. In later stages of development, the human heart—now with fully separated atria and a partially separated ventricle—resembles a reptilian heart. In its final stage, the human heart has 4 separate chambers composed of compacted myocardium, and blood is supplied by 3 large epicardial arteries.

Is evolution considered is scientific fact?
