Humans could evolve into all-new species

A few asides.

It has been noted that adaptation happens most in lifeforms with the most parasites, diseases, and predators. However, humans have eliminated so many parasites that we are getting immune disorders because of the *lack* of parasites. Human use of antibiotics is creating impressive resistance in some kinds of bacteria. And humans greatest predators are other humans.

Go figure.

There is only one known case of (almost) superior human mutation, which was discovered in Suffolk, England in the early 19th Century.

They were “the hedgehog men of Suffolk”, a family with several sons, all of whom were generally stronger, smarter, faster, and otherwise more capable than the typical person of the time. Unfortunately, from the knees to the navel, they were covered with very rough skin, like that of a hedgehog.

This made mating so difficult that none of them produced offspring and so their line died out.

You misfired with your response... Here is what MY post #6 says, “Let me unequivocally state... BULLSH!T!”

Maybe you should actually answer the person that made the post you were attacking there Mr. Holmes... as is Sherlock.

I guess that’s how near-sightedness was passed on, all that gathering of nuts and berries.

[Hot Tabasco]

the Human race will be Blind and have large thumbs.

...and a really big ear to accomodate the cell phone.

[tbw2]

Genetic engineering could cause this.

[Soothesayer]

It was pooferization.

[RegulatorCountry]

You can wax pontific and emanatize the poofterverse. I’ll take Genesis, personally. We’ll just have to agree to disagree.

[Fichori]

LoL!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Salamander]

Stop that or you’ll go blind.

[Salamander]

I’ve become a salamander.

Not sure if that was an evolutionary step up or down.

[but I did once regenerate the entire tip of my left thumb]

[Centurion2000]

It’s even conceivable, he said, that our genes eventually will change enough to create an entirely new human species, one no longer able to breed with our own species, Homo sapiens,

And if they are on the same planet then a war will start to the extinction of the other competitor.

Can a black man breath through a Doris Day nose?

[Semper Mark]

Hmmm. Those guys are put together just like me...about thirty years ago.

Is that old “Cobra Head”, or Yoda...

That pic is too scary, take it down.
