Survival is a conscious choice, but if I have evolved why don't I remember it?

Men cannot run as fast as horses can gallop. So is that why horses didn't evolve into man?

If frogs had evolved pockets they could carry guns to shoot snakes with. So why didn't they evolve them.
Evolution disproved. The world's thousands of scientists are idiots. I am a genius. Case closed.

Memory is key to the passing on of the necessary knowledge for survival among other things. Survival is a conscious choice. Why do these two things not combined to create a memory of having evolved?
The evidence is missing for a reason. Evolution is false. The devil has deceived people that they can forget their ancestry with the justification of survival.
What are you, a moron, or something? Are you expecting to remember a life that you've never had?
Look, buddy. Number 1: humans haven't had to survive in the wilderness for centuries. That's pretty much been knocked out of our system, as we've created civilization.
Number 2: A memory of having evolved? Have you ever gone to school? Even once? Who the **** could remember evolving? This isn't Pokemon here, genius. Evolution occurs when a parent has a child with some form of mutation. If the mutation helps the child survive (example: peppered moths having babies born with colors that blend into their surroundings), then it's evolution. Otherwise, it's a faulty mutation and is lost in obscurity.
Are you really that stupid that you think that I can remember walking on all fours, then learning how to make and use tools to kill wild animals for survival, and having my bone structure slowly change over hundreds of years until I naturally walked upright?
Is that what you're asking? Are you asking me to remember going from Homo-Habilus to Neanderthal to Cro-Magnon?
You're a lunatic if you honestly believe that that's evolution. Learn the first thing about evolution before talking about it. Otherwise you look like an uneducated pre-teen.

You have not evolved, your species has.
Please for the sake of us all take some time and learn what the Theory of Evolution is before continuing with more of these inane posts.

I have a question. I believe in evolution, but this perplexes me. If intelligence is a survival advantage that is selected for, why didn't animals such as dogs develop greater intelligence than us? After all, they have ten generations to our one, and as a result ten times the random mutations that drive evolution.

Intelligence is not the only factor in survival and reproduction. That said, dogs are pretty smart animals. Why aren't they as smart as us? Maybe because their lifestyle is different. Maybe because they just didn't need more intelligence. With evolution, it doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to work.

Okay. They didn't need more intelligence. Could it be because they teamed up with us so long ago and found a niche without great evolutionary pressures? I guess that makes sense, a smarter dog wouldn't necessarily have more offspring because the dumber dog procreated just as much.
Okay, thanks.

wow! serious comment indeed, Gottservant has obviously struck a nerve,you employ unsophisticated juvenile descriptions to respond or attack, his issue whilst profound is deserving of contemplation,in essence evolution is a system of thinking that raises far more questions than its philosophy is capable of answering.

I suspect that they were able to team up with us because they are pack animals. Cats are something of a mystery to me, since they are generally solitary... nevertheless humans seem to like them. Also, they are well regarded by us for their ability to keep mouse/rat populations down.
There are a number of species that have done well living with humans in different ways.. rabbits, mice, rats, squirrels, dogs, cats. A lifestyle dependent on us has proved to be advantageous for these species.
You are welcome!Okay, thanks.

Nope, though that's undoubtedly a great benefit today in terms of survival. A great sense of smell makes for great scavenging and decent hunting in a group. Big brains like ours aren't needed for that.
But for a group of hominids with a free set of hands, the benefit is tremendous.

Questions like "wouldn't it be weird if your wife gave birth to your parents?" Or "how come I can't remember being a trilobite?"
"Profound" isn't the word for it.

He thinks evolution predicts we should remember things from before we were born, or even conceived. If you think this is profound and/or deserving of contemplation, I can't help you. I am not a psychiatrist.
