Human evolution from a scientific stantpoint - Scientific debate, not a religious one

[(ShinKu_Ryu)]

ok ppl...!!no more talking about the human brain......and wats the point of argueing about science without religion...?!! ???

It is called "learning", and it's something you should try to do, especially after being told something time, after time, after time. This thread does not need any posts like yours in it. Either leave this topic completely, or I'll be sure that you recieve punishment for your continuous interference and spam.

the human brain controls your body...wait isnt this supposed to be about religon?

No, it's NOT supposed to be about religion. It's supposed to be a SCIENTIFIC debate about human evolution....in this case, talking about the brain's abilities and possible telepathic/telekinetic/mental evolutionary paths for human beings in the future.

The only reason religion continues to be brought up is because kester_ and Shinku Ryu keep insisting that the bible is scientific proof, when all it is is factless faith.

yo roll,vx is right..!! :angryfire: stop acting like ur a mod... ??? ........

First of all i was not spamming,...and i was right cause this topic is about evolution,...cough..dont believe in,.. and ppl are talking about how much we use the brain.!?!?Your the only person who is spaming in this topic....

No, YOU'RE the only person spamming this topic.

The current discussion on the brain, if you've actually been READING, is about possible evolutionary paths for human beings....not on a physiological level, but on a MENTAL level. Mental involving the brain, the brain being the new subject matter.

YOU are the one that keeps posting saying evolution is wrong and this and that and the other thing, and it's YOU that's spamming.

No, I may not be a mod, and Roll may not be a mod, but I can EASILY get a mod to look over the last couple pages of your stupid spam and then THEY could decide what's spam and what's not.

Well said.. and I'll appreciate it if this topic returns to its earlier form of knowledge, intrigue and me having 1 point to Nantuko's 0 :biggrin:

Now lets get back to this debate ppl......no spaming/R /N

now Natuku joe u wanted me to give prrof that there is no such thing as evoluton,......fine then.. ??? here is what i have to say

if we have evolved to humans from babbons as u and ur scientist say,...then my question is why are we not changing anymore.I know that you have already answered this question,..im not sure if yousaid evolution has stoped or we are still but what im saying is have we stoped evolving because our brain is the most evolved of them all.... :shocked:

First off, don't say "no spamming/R/N," because neither I nor Roll have been spamming at all...

First off, "[me] and [my] scientist" do NOT say that we evolved from baboons. If you had actually bothered to READ my post, you'd have noticed that I said we evolved from a COMMON ANCESTOR. Chimpanzees, baboons, gorillas....they're all evolved forms of this COMMON ANCESTOR as well, just not as highly evolved as us humans are. We all started out as Ardipithicus ramidus and then evolved from THAT, taking two separate evolutionary paths along the way.

You continue to ask me the question "why are we not changing anymore," which I have answered over and over. I have said that is not a true statement, nor even accurate. It's possible that we've stopped evolving, as you are claiming, or it's MORE LIKELY that we still are, we just don't see it yet.



Look at the chart. Homo sapiens sapiens (us humans) have only existed for about 200 thousand years. Most other forms of hominal life (read: human-like predecessors) existed for between 200 thousand and 1 million years before evolution occurred. If you take the AVERAGE, the AVERAGE is about 500 thousand years between evolutionary steps.

Humans have only been around for 200 thousand years. Your claim that we have "stopped evolving because our brain is the most evolved of them all (most evolved of them all what?)" has no scientific support whatsoever. You can't make the claim that we've stopped evolving because our brains are more evolved than our predecessors, because if you say that, then according to whatever misguided logic you're going by, then we should never have evolved from Australopithecus anamensis to afarensis, because the anamensis had a more highly evolved physique and brain than the COMMON ANCESTOR, the ramidus.

Yes, our brains are more highly evolved than our evolutionary predecessors. Is that proof, or even evidence, that there is no higher evolutionary "next step?" NO!

Our brains may be more highly evolved than our previous evolutionary forms, but they're still FAR from perfect. Look at alligators, crocodiles and sharks....they've remained virtually unchanged for over 100 million years. THAT is evolutionary perfection, or as close as it'll get. To say that humans are no longer evolving becuase we havn't seen change in 200 thousand years when there are other creatures who have remained unchanged for 100 MILLION years is an unbacked, unsupported, and unintelligent claim.
