I love this theory. Not because I believe it, but because of how entrancingly bold it is. I sometimes wonder what we believe in that future generations will look down upon us for. Surely we haven’t discovered everything, right? Surely there are some things we think we know that is actually completely wrong.
Is it that human origins are rooted in chimp-pig hybridization? Probably not, but it is high on my “just might be crazy enough to be right” list. The odd similarity-dissimilarities among human, pig, and primate are just too interesting to be dismissed out of hand.
- nikolay 7y agoExactly my point as well - science shouldn't shy away from stuff we wouldn't like. That's why I also respect Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud so much - they dared to tell us things we didn't like, but they didn't care much; they only cared about the scientific truth.
