And how dare I question it or anything outside of it right? Sounds very smart and sciency,I will leave you to it then.
Oh,and I meant introspection, actually asking people, psychological examination of the subject are part of the evidence picture before you come to a conclusion. Apparently,anything short of an explanation involving an "evolutionary" need to exchange chewed food (even though many cultures don't do intimate kissing -- I suppose your claim is those humans evolved differently and have adopted it in the last century against their evolutionary need?) is offensive to your line of thinking.
- thatcat 7y agoI suggested other reasons than exchanged foods - it is because the dexterity is already present in those muscles due to talking and chewing in my opinion. I don't think the dexterity of your mouth muscles have evolved significantly in the last century. It is an ability that is a indirect benefit from other evolved traits. Insight obtained from introspection or evolution in the 100 year scale will be mostly psychological/cultural. If you want to understand the big picture including physical justification you need to look at the large time scale perspective because it takes much longer for those changes, psychological and cultural justifications are dependant on the physical. Maybe that's too "booky or sciency" of a perspective, but I don't think so.
