Default Evolution / Adaptation - 11-06-2005, 06:50 PM

Could it ever be possible that evolution could work against us? We became less superior rather than become more superior or just die off suddenly.

I think it is. ed:

Considering that over the past several months you've evolved into a complete fuckwit, I'm inclined to agree.

Evolution has nothing to do with making us "more superior" rather it makes us more adapt to fight predators off and how well we can live in our environment.

You know, Natural Selection.

I dont think I get you...We didnt become "less superior"...We just provide help to the unfit, its preventing survival of the fittest, and allowing all to survive. With science and technology progressing, it makes it easier to survive.

Evolution cant work "against" us. Evolution is natural selection. Natural selection can be negative towards an individual, but never a population. And evolution refers to a population, never an individual.

Hah.

Well put, for example were loosing our toes becuase we were socks and shoes. So we don't need them to grasp the soil anymore. Were also loosing our body hair becuase we wear clothing.

Yea, i have a lot of body hair, but it is true. As a population, we have less body hair because our bodies dont have a need for it anymore.
