#BigHistory Merci @quentinlafay.bsky.social. Serai à l'écoute. Beaucoup de mal à comprendre l'intérêt de ce type de démarche au-delà d'un (grand) récit pour lycée.nnes à base d'évolution des populations, de physique (entropie) et de psychologie hum. (créativité).

Two Worlds: Human history spans 200,000 years, but our brains, shaped for simpler times, now face a complex world. We must adapt our thinking to meet today’s interconnected challenges to survive. #homosapiens #humanity #twoworlds #brians #evolution #bighistory

In my experience, this tends to be ignored in #education when discussing cognitive science, e.g. learning theories. Why is this important? Bc. it makes a difference to see your pupils/students as connected with the (history of) all life on earth or as walking brains-in-a-vat. #edusky #bighistory

Vi vet at neanderthalere laget bek av bjørkenever, men vi har ingen anelse om hvordan eller hvilken teknikk de brukte. 🤷‍♂️

Å lage bek krever fravær av oksygen, og presis kontroll av temperaturen; er det for kaldt dannes ikke bek av bjørkeoljen, er det for varmt så brenner alt opp.
