A remarkable discovery, recently?

At the instant of fertilization by a sperm cell, the egg emits a flash of light. My question is: Would this phenomenon qualify as the point at which human life begins?

So I looked it up, and you're wrong.

There is NO "flash of light", but seevral newspapers such as the Telegraph reported there was, because they;re frankly morons who misunderstood what was actually reported.

Here's the explanation of what the paper was ACTUALLY talking about:

No, it doesn't. That's a complete and total lie.

The video that has prompted this idiotic notion was from an experiment that used a dye that fluoresces when calcium is released. It has been known for many years that a release of intracellular calcium is the trigger that starts the changes that accompany fertilization; this experiment found a way to make that trigger visible. OUTSIDE OF THIS PARTICULAR ARTIFICIAL EXPERIMENT, NO SUCH FLASH EXISTS.

No. Human life began about 195,000 years ago.
... or maybe you would like to use different criteria.

People who look like us: 195,000 years ago
People who think like us: 50,000 years ago (upper Paleolithic cultural revolution)
People who live like us: 20,000 years ago (invention of agriculture)
