The Ādam Paradox Hypothesis 251
Phase III Deliverables
A definitive genomic atlas of Homo sapiens’ regulatory networks, dated
and mapped against archaic genomes.
A near-complete synthesis of global symbolic artifact timelines (>90% of
sites modeled).
Replicable lab and computational demonstrations linking regulatory DNA
to symbolic cognition.
Final decisive tests: APH either stands as the best explanatory model of the
symbolic threshold, or it is falsified.
Overall Likely Scenario (Phase III)
Genomics: Clustering of regulatory sweeps near 70kya, with networks of
ignition-linked changes unique to Homo sapiens.
Archaeology: Global synchrony confirmed — symbols stabilize everywhere
after ~70kya, not before.
Neuroscience: Demonstrated links between small regulatory changes and
symbolic cognition.
Together, these will almost certainly reinforce APH as the most compelling
model of the human cognitive leap, while forcing gradualist models to retreat to
highly modified forms.
Educational Milestones:
Dozens of PhDs defended under APH-related projects.
APH incorporated into anthropology, genetics, and cognitive science
curricula.
Interdisciplinary labs producing joint publications in Nature, Science, and
PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United
States of America.)
The APH research program is expected to generate results of such significance
and cross-disciplinary importance that they could be published in the top three
general science journals in the world.
