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.
ADaisyChain Reviewed by ADaisyChain on . Thinking About Human Evolution Fundamentalists, this is not the thread for you. I've been thinking lately about human evolution. Evolution is a process that affects all species, and there is no reason to believe it has stopped working in mankind. In fact, it is well known that species which have to suddenly adapt to a new environment evolve more rapidly than others. Now, in the past 10,000 years, just 1% of the time in which modern Homo sapiens has existed, we've witnessed the creation and flourishing of civilization, by Rating: 5
