The Fossil Record Proves Speciation, Not Evolution of Lifeforms Observed

[Speedwell]

I disagree.

What, exactly, is the difference?

 

[Speedwell]

What, exactly, is the difference?

What are the distinct physiological differences which lead you to conclude that humans do not belong to the family Hominidae?

 

[klutedavid]

What, exactly, is the difference?

I cannot accept that mankind evolved from a monkey, I will never agree.

So what if he did? Is being made from dust so much better than being made from some sort of precursor primate?

Man is a useless animal, slow, weak, can't jump, swim, nor defend himself. Man lacks that natural strength that all animals have. A chimp is three to five times stronger than us. A chimp can live and sleep in a tree, we can't do that. We lack everything that is required to survive in the wild. Our young take a decade before they can even look after themselves. Tell me of another animal that takes so long to develop self sufficiency. Antelope take a day or two, most other animals are up and hunting within a few months.

Man was never a wild creature.

 

[USincognito]

NOT good criteria. As I said, by those conditions, a rock is alive.

 

[USincognito]

Humans are apes.

Really really wishing something doesnt make it true.

I disagree.

You think that really wishing something makes it true?

Not any more. We have left behind those characteristics made redundant by the development self-aware intelligence.

I'm not wishing as much as admitting to human frailty, humans do not have the credentials to survive on the African landscape. A pride of lions would decimate any primates, learning to walk on the ground. Mankind needed to descend from the trees in numbers and armed.

There has to be a transition in physiology, from tree dweller to plain walker. I cannot see how that transition can take place. Descending from the trees is sheer suicide for any monkey.

No sir, you don't lose what you never had in the first place. Strength is an essential trait in the wild, add to that speed and agility.

How do you know that our ancestors never had them in the first place?

 

[klutedavid]

How do you know that our ancestors never had them in the first place?

Because you do not lose a genetic trait!

 

[Speedwell]

How do you know that?

 

[klutedavid]

Your physiology is the genetic design, weak legs, two legs, slow movement.

Slow animals are slaughtered by lions, hyenas, and every other predator.

 

[VirOptimus]

I disagree.

This is not something that one can disagree on. Humans are apes by definition.

 

[Shemjaza]

It takes very simple tools to even those odds.

Humans aren't so weak, on an open plain a fit human can run most other animals to death.

 

[klutedavid]

That's your definition.

 

[VirOptimus]

That's your definition.

No, thats the real definition of the term ”ape”. Look it up if you dont belive me.

Not after they just got down from the tree.

Whose looking after the women and children that can't run anywhere. In African villages they have fences so they are protected, and can sleep in peace. A monkey that just climbed down from the tree must return to the tree. Monkeys are not designed to run on the open plain, never seen one yet!

I suggest you study the basics about human evolution.
