I always did think it was strange that of all the millions and millions of species that have lived on earth, only one evolved into building skyscrapers, mapping DNA, exploring space, etc. The other 99.9999999% are still the same dumbass animals they were hundreds/thousands/millions of years ago. I'm not coming from a religious point of view here, I've just never heard a solid explanation of why we have evolved so much further than every other species. 100% of the species currently in existence have evolved as far as necessary to sustain their existence. In that sense, they're exactly as successful as we are as a species Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There are still places on Earth where it makes sense to be a gorilla, chimpanzee, etc. Humans, deprived of their clothing, weapons, and other inventions, could not survive in those places. We hate to be the ones to break it to you, but you are an ape. That is painfully obvious to anyone who has ever driven a vehicle in traffic. Along with their clothing, tools and other inventions you'd also have to deprive them of their minds, because if you didn't it wouldn't be long before they'd sharpen a rock, cut a tree branch and make a spear. From that comes hides and gut, then clothing and strings for bows. And from that comes more advanced tools, dwellings, the wheel, and the ability to trade with cultures from further away with creations made from their local materials. I've yet to see an ape design and build a bow and arrows, even a crude one, much less a wheeled vehicle capable of carrying trade goods. |

Got to love all the anti-evolution folks who come into science threads.
If you don't believe in evolution, why are you always talking about it? To use theist's logic, if you claim not to believe something but jump at every chance to talk about it, clearly you must know for a fact that evolution is true and you are scared to admit it because it would mean you can't live life how you want, but rather, must conform with reality. |

Just last week I visited a museum with a wall of skeletons that started with small monkeys and worked its way up to humans, each had a picture of the animal below it it. Under the human skeleton was a pic of some random guy, my perceptive 5 year old grandson asked, papa, did they kill that guy to get his bones? I think I explained it to him well enough that he got it.
When you look at our bones side by side I see a lot of similarity. |

One of the new theories to come out is that there were many different species of Hominids that bred with each other to become what we are today.
Imagine it like a melting glacier. When it melts the runoff branches out into many streams flowing and crossing one another mixing what they carry and creating another branch. It will do this many times until the strongest flowing branches finally pool together to become one. The linear path that was once most accepted is going away. Here is a good watch that can explain it way better than simple me can...lol NOVA: Dawn of Humanity |
