Interesting article here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/science...ng-say-experts-artery-lost-birth-present.html Quote: "A new study suggests humans are still evolving and 'at a faster rate than at any point in the past 250 years'. Scientists found an increase prevalence of an artery in the forearm, which typically disappears around eight weeks after birth, since the late 19th century. Called the median artery, as the structure begins to disappear, two other arteries form in its place – but there has been an increase of cases with all three." I suppose you'd expect us to keep evolving, as our environment changes and our culture develops, creating new stresses.
BTW people are evolving. A lot of people aren't having babies, their own children die childless = natural selection. In fact, the fact that the birth rates are plummeting suggest a drastic selection of genes.
In an evolutionary sense, it's dumb not to procreate. If dummies are having more kids, maybe intelligence, after a certain point, is faulty trait that inhibits fertility; particularly when you have the technology to easily thwart it.
I agree, and I think that is true for most species, but humanity is artificially supported in ways that defy normal rules for survival of the fittest. The fit and the unfit survive thanks to medical technology. So the inferior genes get passed right along with the superior ones.
If anyone is following the work with CRISPR or even news surrounding Musk’s subsidiary Neuralink’s recent news, humans are rapidly changing the game. Humans have long been active as one of the agents of genetic selection in a myriad of ways, but we are approaching the technical potential for customizing human (and non human) DNA. Makes you wonder what the equivalent of the IPhone revolution in genetics will enable over the next 50-100 years.
Anything living is going to continue to evolve. Some might prefer to call it adapting, I spose (same diff imo). Has it been positted that we humans are at a 'dead end'?
Has it been suggested that animals don't evolve? My cat uses my computer. Not well... but evolution is slow... gdsokbbm.b fddjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjhhhhhhhhjkjjjjjjjjjjjnnj
That can't be the reason since humans live there with them and never left so why did some evolve and others didn't under the same conditions?
How do you know they never left? Much of early human civilization is likely underneath water for the last 10,000 years.
We started in one region and there is evidence we have always been there, with the monkeys. That means some monkeys changed and others didn't or there were monkeys all over the place who moved there after humans changed which is silly.
What region? Africa? They've found evidence of human tool use in Europe that predates 'humans' in Africa. Depending on how fringe you wanna get, there's (suppressed) evidence in South America of human tool use that predates even the newest stuff in Europe. Suffice to say, its generally accepted that human civilization predates known human civilization by quite a lot. Which means its very likely that we don't have much of the story.
**** if I know. Someone built a wall in Theopetra Cave 20,000 years ago, and it wasnt monkeys. Attempts to determine who and what lived where that long ago are guesses at best.
If all the monkey's in a region changed there should be no more in that region unless they moved from somewhere else. In that case they would start evolving themselves and we would be seeing all stages of evolution going on. We Don.t.
Its a theory. And it generally fits the facts. So does transpermia. But watch the evolutionists and the creationists battle over who can protest transpermia the hardest...
