Is Uniformitarianism Necessary?

Any Decent Writer Writes Because There's Some Deep Internal Need To Keep Learning.

...we Must Be Wary Of Granting Too Much Power To Natural Selection By Viewing All Basic Capacities Of Our Brain As Direct Adaptations.

Asian Homo Erectus Died Without Issue And Does Not Enter Our Immediate Ancestry (for We Evolved From African Populations); Neanderthal People Were Collateral Cousins, Perhaps Already Living In Europe While We Emerged In Africa...

We Are A Thing, An Item Of History, Not An Embodiment Of General Principles.
