► The Day We Learned To Think (Documentary). Understanding of humans' earliest past often comes from studying fossils. They tell us much of what we know about the people who lived before us. There is one thing fossils cannot tell us; at what point did we stop living day-to-day and start to think symbolically, to represent ideas about our environment and how we could change it? At a dig in South Africa the discovery of a small piece of ochre pigment, 70,000 years old, has raised some very interesting questions.
Anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) emerged in Africa roughly 100,000 years ago. We know from fossil evidence that Homo sapiens replaced other hominids around them and moved out of Africa into Asia and the Middle East, reaching Europe 40,000 years ago.
Prof Richard Klein believes art is a landmark in human evolution. Unquestionable art that's widespread and common suggests you're dealing with people just like us. No other animals, after all, are able to define a painting as anything other than a collection of colours and shapes. This ability is unique to humans.
Other scientists agree. They believe art defines humans as behaviourally modern, and its beginning must coincide with the ability to speak and use language. If someone has the imagination to devise a shared way to describe their environment using art then it seems inconceivable that they could not possess language and speech. The search for the moment our ancestors became behaviourally just like us is also the hunt for the first evidence of art.
The earliest evidence of human art was always thought to appear in south western Europe around 40,000 years ago. Spectacular cave paintings, jewellery, carved figurines, ornaments and new styles of stone and bone tools all appear. There is evidence that ceremonial human burials were taking place. It really did seem like a light bulb had been turned on in the human brain; a big bang of thought.
Had something happened in a very small timeframe during the course of human evolution to forever change our future? A theory called 'The Human Revolution' emerged. It suggests there was some sudden, dramatic, genetic change around 50,000 years ago, that meant human beings, became able to think and communicate. For years this was the most plausible theory of why we evolved language and symbolic thinking, whilst our cousins the Neanderthals got wiped out.
Neanderthals were known to have been living in Europe for nearly 200,000 years before Homo sapiens arrived. But within 10,000 years of the modern human arrival, Neanderthals had disappeared. This seemed to back up the idea of the human revolution. A new, more intelligent species arrived to compete with the stronger, less advanced natives. Intelligence won and the Neanderthals were eventually made extinct, unable to compete with the incomers for scarce food and resources. Published on Jan 13, 2013 by EducationalChanneI

■ Korubo: fight to the end - . Published on Mar 25, 2013 by newatlantisline
* Part 1. The Korubo are more dangerous and hostile Indians of Amazonia, persecuted and massacred for centuries by the white man. Known as the crushing heads, had never been recorded. Never until a team of reporters saves a malaria attack to Maia, the queen of the tribe. In gratitude, the Korubo hand tend to accept recording equipment and traveling with them to the heart of the jungle.
* Part 2. In 1996 an expedition led by explorer Sydney Possuelo attempted to contact the Korubo peaceful. This contact, starring misgivings, by fear and by the shadow of vengeance, ended in a tragic confrontation. Despite losing one of their own, Possuelo was positioned on the side of the Amazon Indians and today still with them. He already knows the rituals and knowledge of Korubo. Indigenous knowledge now show for the cameras.
* Part 3. Korubo small children learn from the techniques and everyday of their elders. Play, design their own clothes and enjoy living in community. His goal is to live in peace, which can only be honored if the white man stops chasing. If not, they must defend themselves dying and killing, as did their elders.
* Part 4. Sidney Possuelo is the director of Isolated Indians. He works for Korubo maintain their land untouched, intact, to continue to belong to the indigenous people who inhabit them. Respect and Possuelo peacekeeping efforts are rewarded with the teachings received from this Amazonian warrior people. Lessons stored secretly in the heart of the jungle.
* Part 5. The Korubo go fishing. The goal today is an electric eel, probably the most dangerous fish throughout Amazonia. The Korubo faced by timbo technique, this electric eel that could kill a man with a shock. Feared and dangerous but also brave and noble, the Korubo show all sides of a persecuted people.
■ KORUBO a Fight to the end. This documentary gets inside the world of the most fearsome indians of the Amazonia, the so called Korubo. The cameras will be able to shoot for the first time the daily life of this secret Brazilian tribe. Feared by the nearby tribes, they are known as "Head crashers" by the white colonists because of their extraordinary ability to make use of huge sticks. This tribe has suffered a real persecution for many years. Our crew made a great effort to gain the confidence of these unpredictable natives. An unplanned fact made easier the approach to the fearsome tribe. The documentary will show how their queen Maiaá, who was suffering malaria, could be saved by us. The gratitude allowed our cameras to shoot their daily life including amazing moments such as the electric fish hunt or enjoying the children's games. A journey to the heart of this people and their fight for survival. Uploaded on Nov 21, 2011 by newatlantisline

What is the current world population? They shoot at each other? All dead? Ah, let it be so. What can I say? That is the most logical consequence.

Well, hopefully with more and more similar impressions (and I do not have to marry a prince or a famous person), my heart is getting stronger to be married to only one man.

► Talk to Al Jazeera - Macky Sall: 'It's easy to condemn Africa'. Senegal has long been revered as one of Africa's model democracies, one of the very few West African states with a tradition of civilian rule. The country gained independence from France in 1960, and has suffered no serious upheavals since. It has an established multi-party system and boasts one of the region's most stable economies despite high unemployment and poverty. But this relative stability in Senegal is now threatened by the conflict in neighbouring Mali. The presenceof Senegalese soldiers together with the West African and French troops in the fight against Islamists in the North has raised fears of reprisal attacks. On this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, Folly Bah Thibault is joined by Macky Sall, the president of Senegal, to discuss the country's presence in Mali as part of the ECOWAS mission, neo-colonialism and the relationship with France, and Africa's capability in solving its own problems.

► Inside Story Americas - 'Big Brother' Obama? On Saturday, the Guardian reported from a secret directive that US President Barack Obama has ordered his senior national security and intelligence officials to draw up a list of potential overseas targets for US cyber attacks. "With respect to the internet and emails, this does not apply to US citizens, and it does not apply to people living in the United States," Obama said on Friday. His comments follow news that the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading US internet companies to spy on foreigners. According to the Washington Post newspaper, even though US citizens were not the intended targets of surveillance, this has allowed investigators to examine emails, photos and other documents of tens of millions of Americans that can be used to track people and their contacts over time.We ask under what authority the US monitors the world's phone calls and internet usage.
