Seeing from the overwhelming response of the last post, I will continue on the topic of human evolution. It could be said that natural evolution is at the very least stunted due to modern advances in technology and medicine. This being said, it would take some unforeseen force to continue evolution in humans at the same rate it has occurred in the past. Now, what if people were in charge of this "natural selection"? I'm glad eugenics was brought up in the previous post, because that is exactly what forced, man-made evolution is. We've seen Hitler try this, and the results were disastrous. What if people were just randomly killed at birth, with no rhyme or reason? Would this help evolution, or would it do nothing but throw a theoretical wrench into the evolution engine?
In the next post, I will discuss where I believe human evolution is going.
Not very PC, but we have an example of selective breeding in humans - slaves in the US. 200 years of selective breeding gave us a gene pool that dominates every pro sport (apart from swimming and cycling).
ReplyDeletethis is all very interesting to think about thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteyour friend,

nice post and a cool blog man. followed!
ReplyDeleteI think the greeks and romans did that thing, where they inspected the child at birth and if it wasn't good, then they killed it. but i could be wrong.

race distinction will deteriorate to the point where all humans will be a mix of nearly all elasticities. that is my prediction
ReplyDeleteinteresting stuff man

Sucio nailed it on the head.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder a lot :) cool post
ReplyDeleteThere is still selective breeding going on, for example, pretty people sex up other pretty people.
ReplyDeleteI believe that because of globalization, instead of selective breeding, we are headed for a "common breeding" where people of different continents are mixing up the gene pool...
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Looking forward to your next post, man.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, evolution is really up for grabs.

never heard abour extincting the best killers
ReplyDeletein for random killings at birth. this sounds like a fun experiment. lets see what happens.
ReplyDeletesucio is right again. a guy did a special on that in your day didnt he?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing brah

That's some pretty interesting thinking you got there.

This topic is most certainly relevant to my interests. Following and supporting!

The point is we virtually are evovling even though natural selection had gone. If we keep soloving our problems we are doing natural selections job for it :P although its a little more complicated than that hehe
ReplyDeletegreat post m8 ty :D
I'm gonna give a good read to the previous posts as well; evolution is of great interest to me.
ReplyDeleteFollowing and supporting!
Definitely stuff to think on
ReplyDeleteHello~! I just watched Matrix last night ;p. What if humans go extinct because of the machines! is that evolution?

ReplyDeleteHumankind hasn't evolved since the stone age and probably won't evolve in a long time if we're lucky enough to preserve the current living conditions. We breed selectively as we have always done, like slaves to our natural instincts. Evolution may happen quickly if living conditions are radically altered but it will remain intact if there is no threat to the survival of a species.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, great post, following.

I wish we could evolve stupid out of us. :) Following.
ReplyDeleteIts nice to read something that makes some sense:
ReplyDeletehttp://anonbucks.blogspot.com/
I doubt we will ever evolve again.
ReplyDeleteYeah. The genes that we'd like to keep out of the gene pool are reproducing due to society and technology, but I doubt killing babies would change that. I think forcing a change out of our increasingly sedentary lifestyle might do the trick.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog, thanks for the follow! Following you as well. Good read.
you should care less about evolution and care more about the achievement of getting over 100 followers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow scary stuff dude. I can see this getting out of hand somewhere like India
ReplyDeleteEvolution is something that should be questioned, but from my background it happens way to often.

Evolution! The future. Crazy stuff man. Cant wait for another post!
ReplyDeleteWe are at the point in technology where we can begin experimenting to evolve ourselves, though. We decoded the human genome, and we are getting into the practice of modifying genes to produce desirable children. If nothing else, within 100 years we will have smarter, better looking children. The designer baby industry.
ReplyDeletethats interesting. cant wait for new post
ReplyDeleteAs long as we're considering eugenics, can we start with Justin Bieber?
ReplyDeleteSucio pointed out a very valid point there
ReplyDeletevery cool post
ReplyDeletei tihnk one day we shall evolve into avators :D
