How did evolution happen then when the life expectancy was well below 50 years?
Well, I think we have a LOT of mutant fathers over 35 in the West - look at Congress.
He has no way of knowing. Noticeable changes occur over a long period of time. Not long enough for modern science to see a difference.
And, of course, in humans, there's also a tendency toward selective breeding....
Another nutcase heard from!
There’s always some scientist somewhere wanting to declare things over. They’re usually not very good scientists.
The fact is knees, spines and sinuses are still a problem, so we still clearly have some evolving left to do.
Without variation there could be no genetics and no evolution so why is it there? Perhaps surprisingly we have no real idea; and I have spent many years studying the ecological genetics of snails, fruitflies and humans in an attempt to understand this issue.
Certain snails are very diverse in their shell characters, and I have collected hundreds of thousands of specimens from all over Europe in an attempt to find out why. I have also worked on fruit flies in variable environments, both in the wild and in the laboratory. At the moment I am particularly involved in looking at the interaction of thermal ecology and genetics in snails and in Drosophila.
According to one of my daughters in law, who has an advanced degree in sociology, dolphins are already smarter than humans. I’m not so sure ... I think it depends on which human they are being compared to.
I didn’t know it had ever begun :)
I believe it was God who created us in His image to begin with...you can’t get any better than that ;)
Can’t end what never started!
What a relief! It was getting to be a jungle out there. (badda-bing!)
Interesting, that ... Liberals Preach Evolution as GOSPEL, and at the same time, Preach WELFARE PROGRAMS to THWART it!
Is this another crisis that will require an expensive government response.

Thanks StayAt HomeMother. I definitely need to wear the reading glasses, or shift this monitor back down to 1024... |

It ain’t over ‘till the fat lady sings ;)
Not only has the marriage patterns changed evolution, it has caused a disturbing change in the prodigy.
Older parents (whether they think so or not) can’t seem to keep up with or control their children. By the time the kids are teenagers, they rule the home.
The fact that anyone supports Obama or the Democrat Party could have told you this...
