Another shit thread about the same fucking shite.

 

[Professor]

Yes, we see evolution in many areas, especially with a little human intervention to assist in the process otherwise the process continues randomly in accordance with environmental conditions etc etc.

But certainly, there is human evolution/devolution/dilution to be observed.

It could be kabukian, a warning about the future evolution of the human race, men losing their sperm count and heading to body morphing chop-houses to transform into geisha like the man you consider to be Korean, perhaps?

Man? I didn't see any men in the video I posted. And the question was - And you? Have you cast your vote yet?

You realise that that isn't really a thing, right?

The question of devolution is interesting. I really wonder if rather than humans having evolved from some ape like species apes actually come from human stocks that devolved to the point of literally becoming sub-human.

I would accept there is evolution and devolution within a species and within particular stocks in that species but what I would not accept is one species evolving into a completely different and superior species.

 

[Professor]

It would be, at times before extinction and or specific future transformation (by design)

No

Humans and other primates are distinct species

There isn't a concept of, shall we say, backwards evolution

How about useless eaters subsisting on tech, chemicals & insects? low sperm count becomes no sperm count
Others having their lifestyle, instincts and cultures altered by natural & artificial forced changes
Things do go backward depending on resources.

I would say that evolution is comparable with time in the sense that it only knows one direction - forwards

Also the term highly evolved shouldn't be conflated or misconstrued with highly intelligent. There's no real reason to say that humans are more evolved than say, chimpanzees

Yes ok, you've got relevant up to date perspectives, so, do elaborate?

It's a vast subject.
Also the human race has evolved at a magnificent rate in the last 100, 200, 300 years in comparison to the previous 10,000 years.
So much to take into account

 

[AN2]

I'm saying that there isn't backwards evolution

As per the wiki I posted above in post #9:

Dollo's law of irreversibility, first stated in 1893 by the palaeontologist Louis Dollo, denies the possibility of devolution. The evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins explains Dollo's law as being simply a statement about the improbability of evolution's following precisely the same path twice.

Also the human race has evolved at a magnificent rate in the last 100, 200, 300 years in comparison to the previous 10,000 years.

What makes you say that?

 

[Professor]

What makes you say that?

The numbers, the abilities, the values - witness the power exercised.

I don't see how that supports your supposition that we've (biologically) evolved at a magnificent rate in the last three hundred years in comparison to the previous ten thousand..

There's more of us, we're more technologically advanced, more socially constructed (for want of a better term)?

 

[Tiger]

James, for crying out loud….this thread is laughable—folks are debating our supposed 'evolution' over the past 300 years (???)

It's an embarrassment. Have any of you actually read a single piece of real literature on evolution in the past 20 years? Do any of ye read books at all, or just conjure nonsense in your own heads?

We have a spectacle of pseudo-intellectuals masquerading as authorities on evolution, yet displaying the comprehension of a gaggle of preteens swapping ghost stories on the playground. Ye bandy about scientific jargon like it’s magical incantation, wholly oblivious to the actual principles or the substantial evidence that the reality of 'evolutionary science' engages with.

It's as if they're collectively allergic to rigor, tossing out half-baked assertions with all the confidence of children who've just stumbled upon their first big secret.

Scarleh for ya.

Uh, who is doing that? I am debating against @Professor's supposition. Try reading, for comprehension
