"New archaeological research from The Australian National University (ANU) has found that Homo erectus, an extinct species of primitive humans, went extinct in part because they were 'lazy'. An archaeological excavation of ancient human populations in the Arabian Peninsula during the Early Stone Age, found that Homo erectus used 'least-effort strategies' for tool making and collecting resources. This 'laziness' paired with an inability to adapt to a changing climate likely played a role in the species going extinct, according to lead researcher Dr Ceri Shipton of the ANU School of Culture, History and Language…."

they used … 'least-effort strategies' for tool making and collecting resources hmm…so it's better to work harder than you need to in order to get something done. This explains a lot. |

Jack Burton: "Some would say Homo Erectus still walks among us." You mean "drives among us". They don't walk if they don't have to. Dan |
