Thinking About Human Evolution
i believe that we have been through this before, like, even more so in past centries...achieved technology that has now been forgotten...after society crashed we slowly went back to our most primitive instinct; the need for food...this could of happened multiple times...
too smart for our own good i believe...
we are more basic then we think...you can even see the herding instinct when driving down a highway, see no cars for miles, then see 10 at one time...
medicine goes too far sometimes...some must die for others to live, why dont people understand that???

Thinking About Human Evolution
I'm currently reading Food of the Gods which has to do with the evolution of conciousness through psilocybin mushrooms.
It mentions that as the population of a species increases there is less room for a mutation to be successful. That means because of how widespread we are our physical evolution is slowing down severely, possibly even coming to a halt.
Our ideas keep moving forward though, "evolving" if you could apply the word that way. And the rate at which our ideas, culture, and mind are "evolving" is increasing at a very fast rate as we become more and more dominant.
If a baby was born with two heads ((and this has happened even in humans)) and was more successful then a baby with one head, our society would still be able to halt it's continuation because we don't like two headed people.
I don't know alot about evolution as a whole, but that's what I've learned thus far from Food of the Gods. And keep in mind it's all theory. At least until I disprove the existance of god to the world in 2021.

Thinking About Human Evolution
I watched a program on the science channel a while back and it was talking about a university that did a study of mitochondrial dna which is outside of the nucleus. Mitochondrial dna is inherited from your mom and passed down threw the females. It mutates at a regular rate which you can use to calculate certain things about the population. Anyway, they found that out of everyone they studied their mitochondrial dna was suprisingly similar.
They did some calculations and concluded around 70,000 years ago, the humans were nearly killed out and left only a few thousand alive. From these few came billions of humans meaning that genetic variations are less because of near extinction. They call it a population bottle neck big to small to big again.
They also went on connecting that time period to a super volcano that happend around that time. Well, evolution takes amillions of years and I dont think that we will notice any change in the species for quite some time.On the waydown they saw a lot they don\'t remember
and if you asked them how, they couldn\'t say how they got there
and if you want them now you could just pull on the lever
and say, \"I\'m hung up on gravity.\"
you move your mouth and you start to talk
you close your eyes and then lose the thought
what\'s mine is mine and what\'s yours you probably got
and we all fall.

really wish more of us would try to do so, rather than remain content in the same pattern of ignorance most people stay in as a security blanket.
and exactly what makes this world so bad. as well as its what will make us all die
AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHH

i see it as more of getting worse...were not evolving, were devolving...we are killing our own species at a faster rate now than during any war, and we dont even mean to...
insanity...
