One aspect, though not binding in our system of philosophy based on the NETWORK OF UNCONSCIOUS, the Thesis provides a continuous evolution from inorganic matter Man sapiens sapiens, with no divine intervention needed (which is not not exclude that there may have been for reasons unknown to us).
A first step is the transition from inorganic matter to organic one, and a recent scientific article in "Nature" and taken over by the Corriere della Sera, seem to confirm:
reproduced in the laboratory portion of an RNA molecule through a solution similar to the primordial soup.
LONDON - Four billion years ago, life probably originated on Earth from the so-called "primordial soup", an aqueous solution from which they formed the first organic molecules. A team of British scientists has been able to reproduce in the laboratory part of that process.
TWELVE YEARS OF EVIDENCE - In a study published in Nature, researchers at the University of Manchester, led by John Sutherland, explain how they created ribonucleotides (RNA units, the basic molecule of all life processes) from simple elements, such as those who were presumably in the primordial soup. Instead of starting immediately adding phosphate sugars and nitrogen bases, as had been done so far in such experiments, scientists have gone by the more simple and have played the environmental conditions by heating the solution: the evaporation has left behind a residue of molecules hybrid. Then again, the scientists added water, without heat, evaporate and irradiated with ultraviolet rays in order to reproduce the environmental cycle of the ecosystem primordial in each new phase molecules were increasingly complex. Finally, only the final stage, added phosphate, which also functioned as a catalyst and the acidity regulator: "Surprisingly, it has formed a ribonucleotide," he recalls with enthusiasm Sutherland. "We suspected there was something good out there, but it took 12 years to find out."
THE CHOREOGRAPHY OF MOLECULES - molecules Elements and players in the process of origin of life were known for some time (the fundamental molecules used for this experiment were found both in the interstellar dust in meteorites), but now finally seems to have been established choreography where such reagents must meet to give the useful results. No one in twenty years of trying, was able to demonstrate concrete evidence of the formation of RNA from the reaction of simple molecules and chemicals. For this experiment Sutherland and colleagues is a crucial step to prove the validity of the theory that places the RNA as a starting point of life on Earth. However, there are still many skeptics about the possibility that this system can be created with an entire RNA molecule, which is cumbersome. Sutherland, however, hopes to further develop his research in order to solve the doubts remained.

Another piece is given by another paper, La Repubblica reported, on the faculty of abstraction of monkeys. Unique quality that first it was believed the human race:
study shows that the U.S. is capable of rhesus macaques to evaluate the lost opportunities. Subjected to a game, several examples have shown regret for the loss of the best reward
Remorse, guilt, regret for missed opportunities: these feelings so special and human also belong to the apes. They too, like us, you eat your hands when they waste a good opportunity. Dr. Ben Hayden of Duke University, USA, has studied this type of reaction in the rhesus macaque, showing once again how complex these animals: "It is the first study that clearly shows how the monkeys, like humans, do thoughts like "I could, I would have, I would ...". Typically ours. "Obviously, this kind of feelings should be contextualized within a reality that, as evolved, is not human.
Tartabini According to Professor Angelo, professor of animal psychology at the University of Parma, and one of the greatest Italian experts in the behavior of these primates, guilt and remorse are forms of internalization that arise from the consciousness, or at least the awareness of self and surrounding reality. "You can not feel emotions like this - he explains - if you are not aware of their actions, have made a mistake or have not done the right thing at the right time. It is a common feeling even the dogs, and animal species that characterize the emotionally closest to human beings, like monkeys. "
The rhesus macaques living in various colonies, from 20 to 180 people, organized according to a matriarchal structure, apex of which is a female "alpha." Relations between the females are fairly peaceful, while males are often aggressive behavior, the care of children and monitoring of land are managed jointly by the whole colony. Tartabini explains remorse and regret that, in the case of these animals are generally derived from the violation of social rules, and the monkey is in fact the social animal par excellence. "Any inappropriate behavior - he concludes - is perceived as outside the group, and generates the animal fear of being excluded. And 'that arises from this sense of guilt."
To make the experiment, Dr. Hayden has involved the monkeys in a group game which included an option of having to choose among eight available. Each chip, which is marked by a different color, representing a payout and the green was the one that provided the best prize, a sweet fruit juice. After each monkey had chosen, she was shown what was lost by discarding other options. The neuronal reactions of the animal were then recorded with a scanner and the region used to monitor the consequences of each action, lit up during the game: the more the reward was higher and the cerebral area showing active. And so did every time the monkeys were shown the reward failure, suggesting to students that the animals at that time, were examining what they might have. "People are really good to think not only about why something happens, but what would have happened. We now know that monkeys work that way. They also perceive the value of abstract things."
