Scientists often use the phrase “anatomically modern humans” to describe the point when our ancient ancestors looked like us. But when did humans become behaviorally modern?

A huge part of 'behaviorally modern' is _learned behavior_, and every bit of that learned behavior had to first be discovered/invented - and probably several different times (and it also took a long time for all that learning to become 'sufficient'). I'm tempted to argue that we had the biology for being 'behaviorally modern' before we crossed the threshold into 'modern behavior'.

This is a question where you get a different answer depending on what you're looking for although I argue even homo erectus was pretty up there. They were capable of fairly impressive tools, in some evidence even boats, and still looked very little like modern humans. I'd say a very important factor overlooked is just how sociable we were at any given time. That is the core of what really shaped humans and lead us into civilization. Human "domestication" as seen by our skull size shrinking and facial features becoming more adolescent is a good clue as to when, but more importantly the trade of red ocher (beyond it's use) is a good benchmark. It's a very old and physical encapsulation of humans slowly laying out the foundations of what we are today.

I seem to recall a documentary I saw over 10 years ago on the bottleneck period of ancient humans around 70,000 years ago. Something that was brought up was that apparently in a cave on the African coast that had been occupied by humans around that same 70,000BP time anthropologists found scratch marks on the cave walls. They theorized that an ancient tribe that lived in the cave was trying to work out the tide cycles so they could hunt and gather seashore life at low tide safely. If that's true then that pushes abstract thinking to around 70,000 years ago.

Learning within a small group means more authority to the teacher and better communication between the students. The difference between groups were connected with their skills and resources. On some point people have started to share things and the authorities changed. The more there were people the more difference became and it compensated with common problems. Something valuable could be lost forever, but the problem solving united everyone and made people better. Preparing and testing ideas also played a great role to the evolution.

You might also consider the leap in mutuality and cooperation that go hand in hand with the evolution of the female pelvis. Look for the point in time when women could no longer give birth quickly or alone, but needed the help of the tribe. Labor and delivery would require planning, language, and a certain level of abstract thought about what was going on inside on the part of the assistants.

homo naledi, first discovered in south africa in 2013. It's 335,000-236,000 YA. The cave has been geologically stable for millions of years, and the bodies would have had to have been placed there purposefully to get there. The 'homo' title was debated for a long time because the features of the speciens seemed so primative, however the date turned out to be much more recent than initially projected. And yes, ceremonial burial is was considered a uniquely modern trait of humans. But our evolution and deep past is a very messy field and constantly in flux. I've followed it almost all my life, and the one thing I can say for certain, is that it makes it facinating to watch the sceintific method unfold in real time.

I'm pretty much convinced that the big shift happened for us about 75,000 years ago, when Mt. Toba erupted and the global sapiens population dropped to 10,000 individuals, maybe even lower. I think that event would have really sharpened our cognitive abilities as well as shaped us genetically. Of course, there are those who disagree with this theory, but they have yet to convince me it's wrong.

From a different perspective....Could not have these "modern human" traits, been latent in the genome for quite some time? Just awaiting opportunity for expression? Could it be that it was population pressures and drivers that created language out of a newly presented need to human kind. Rather than seeing language as an independently driven expression of the genome?

What do you think? That tech dictates our behaviour is also a bit wrong...It predicts and responds on that prediction. Like mapping your characteristics, and then sending ads to you about stuff fitting those characteristics. It does not chose you like bikes or cars, but it predicts you do. If you know all the facts, then manipulation from computers is also mostly impossible, and there are always humans behind that manipulation as well. But i guess it is also a question of free will. Do we have free will to respond to our wishes behaviours and urges? And if yes do we have free will to chose what we wish and urge for? And if yes or no, can tech influence that decision?

I feel like behaviours are the things we do that can observed (externally). For a psychologist these are some of the only things that can be measured. Behaviours are not motivations. Perhaps motivations can be implied by behaviours (why did she get that apple? Because she was hungry) but that leads us to supposition, which often makes bad science (maybe she eats out of boredom or another reason). To say therefore behaviours cause technologies (paraphrasing: behaviours dictating use or development of technologies) seems to me a statement that misses lots of steps and abstract thought necessary for creating technologies. The root of technology is tekhne from the greek for craft, as in a skillful thing, but the complex thought required for development also requires design, problem solving, intentionality, purpose ect In short behaviours are the things the we do, not the why. Maybe technologies change what we do, or how we do it, but intent can no more be ascribed to a microwave oven then the act of turning it on. To say that the advent and persistence of a technology creates or alters behaviours to me seems far less controversial, and the point that mundane technologies such as clothes have altered our behaviour for a very long time was so in your face obvious to me I'm glad someone else pointed it out

Basic brain power or more advance smarts? Im seriously questioning the emphasis on brain anatomy being sole cause of human behaviour changing... I dont think humans before "behavioral modernity" had brains uncapable of doing things we started doing later on... obviously there is a connection but its also just the cultural setepping stones that have to be reached in order to advance in the complexxity of our behaviour... place a modern baby in a context before "bhevioral modernity" and he would not, as you say, have an eureka moment and start singing, and painting.. no this baby would adapt to its society in order to survive.. and while he may end up pioneering some sort of behaviour it would be, in the case of pre modern humans too, a lot of chance interactions with the environment that would develop into increasingly complex behaviours. Just like you can teach a chimp things he would never learn in his natural society, also the brains of pre modern humans could in most probability do almost averything we do today, they simply didint because their society hadnt reach that level as a cultural entity which builds up knowledge and compplexity through time and is passed through living thinking individuals, not genes, so there was no one to teach those humans the sorts of complex behaviors we arrogantly believe to be the only ones capable of. All feedback welcome, im I alone in this perspective?

If you admit: - there had been any evolutionary pressure on our cognitive capabilities in last 100k years AND - you don't have a way to make this pressure perfectly uniform THEN Then you don't end up with perfectly equal outcomes and you are toying with concepts like "human biodiversity" and "race realism".

What parts of modern behaviour are a result of nature and how much nurture though? At what point a person taken from the prehistory to let them grow up in modern times would be the same as us? At what point a today's baby put to grow up in the past would stop being the same as others of the time?

If you know that a free ebook Thiaoouba Prophecy is a true report, then it becomes clear that humans did not come through the process of evolution, but were "born" out of Ovoastromic Egg essentially as they are. It might sound crazy for some people, but I know that the book is true out of my own experiences. As for animals, they do come through the process of evolution.

I'll explain for you! Basically, when we dig up stuff like fossils, we know approximately how old it is based on how deep in the ground it is. The rate at which sediment accumulates is the same-ish in certain areas, so we can use that to infer how long ago it was put there. Simple, but at the same time not. Does that make sense?

I have been a religious person and now am more spiritual. I absolutely believe there is another plane where life continues to exist. I have done a lot of research about religion, what have people believed and why. A lot of religions or groups have a creation story explaining how humans, or a specific people of tribe, suddenly appeared on earth. Beliefs range from Adam and Eve to crawling out of the earth or awakening under leaves in a taro garden. So I have wondered if humans remember back to a time when we transitioned from very primitive to advanced? Indigenous Australians speak of the Dream Time. I wonder too if many humans had to seek sanctuary in caves during the ice age and if during that time, civilization advanced? I wonder if these social advancements during a time of restrictions fed creation stories about crawling out of a hole in the earth? Maybe there was a big event which caused humans to advance rapidly? In support of this, modern writers working from ancient texts like to claim space aliens taught humanity. I do not agree with the space alien theories but again I wonder if an event caused humans to suddenly advance in ways or learn from others to the extent it appears a superior group brought knowledge?

Eh, whether or not abstract geometric art displays less abstract thought than symbolic art representing animals seems like a matter of opinion to me. Personally, I'm inclined to think that abstract geometric art like that depicted in the video requires more abstract thought than a drawing of an animal, because instead of simply trying to copy something you see, you're creating a pattern that's completely new, that you've never seen in the natural world. In any case, at this point there's plenty of evidence of behavioral modernity in the african middle stone age (long predating the
