The View Hole is a blogging project collaborating youtube clips and streaming documentaries which aim to highlight the current advancements and challenges faced by an ever evolving species, and an ever expanding 'Global Village.'

When we lived in tribes and villages over the horizon were secret lands and mysterious people never before seen, and as we ventured forth establishing connections with the rest of our species and our world, the horizons gave up their secrets, and our villages grew to nations.

Now, in this modern age; when what's beyond the horizon is already in our living rooms, on our tv screens and computer monitors, Something new begins.
We are no longer but a collection of nations, we are at a stage of transition, becoming what is termed a "Global Village"

The View Hole aims to shine a light on the challenges faced by the species at the heart of this cultural evolution. Man.

From the standard model of particle physics and global educational paradigms to sociological engineering and human evolution, The View Hole links to material which questions the form and function of modern science and society.

Oliver The Chimp



Oliver The Chmip

Accompanied blurb:
In January 1976 news broke of a phenomenon. Pictures showed an upright bald ape called Oliver, who appeared to be a cross between a human and a chimpanzee; What scientists refer to as a humanzee.


Author's Note:
Warning: SPOILER ALERT
It is said that genetic mutations which prove successful are the stepping stones of evolution.
Que Oliver the chimp, walking upright as a result of, you guessed it, a genetic mutation.
This documentary raises the question, did a similar genetic mutation occur thousands of years ago and prove to be successful? Could homo-erectus come about as a result of this mutation?
