Are Humans done evolving?

i'm talking about biological evolution. you're not.

i can feel you about the leaders and whatnot, but that doesn't mean that they are a new species. you seem to be speaking figuratively. i'm a biochemist, so i think about evolution logically.

and man has certainly NOT stopped evolving. evolution can be considered "beneficial" or "degrading"

most people think of it as getting better, which in most cases is true (when nature does the selection, and generations adapt to their environment)
so humans are not really doing that, but we will always evolve

evolution is simply DNA mutations which are always occurring. that can lead to new/different genes and proteins, and new trait in an organism, and eventually so many changes, that it's a new species.

I'M SICK OF READING ALL THESE MISCONCEPTIONS

Evolution is simply stated as:

A genetic change in a population over time.

 

Hey man, lighten up!!! Not everyone here is a Biochemist, but I agree with you with some of the replies getting off subject, or just plain ignorant.
That's just the way it is on here from people of all ages and different levels of education.
I may not see evolution from your standpoint, or have your education, but that doesn't mean I'm less intelligent that you. I bet I have other interests that would knock you off your high horse.

And Teutonic Pagan may have been off subject, but it sounds like he just needed to vent. But he does have a point on people being programmed by religion, thus not living according to nature, thus changing into something other than what nature intended. In other words, playing follow the leader and not being their true selves. I guess they evolved into their environment. If you don't understand... I don't care, but don't come down on people because you don't approve a comment in "YOUR" thread... just ignore it and let it go.

Oh, and you better change your tag line, "Let hatred turn into friendship, because of your existence"... because you just violated it with that last reply.

Peace and blessings to you anyway, because, hey, we're all human... sometimes.

 

my caps were not meant to be taken that harshly. i'm just passionate about my career, so this thread has been irritating me for a while. and it wasn't directed at any ONE person in particular.

and i definitely agree with you here:
"But he does have a point on people being programmed by religion, thus not living according to nature, thus changing into something other than what nature intended.",
but that doesn't mean that we're done evolving. it's just being driven in a different way than natural selection.

i'm not trying to be on a high horse, but i do realize i'm coming off that way. thanks for puttin me in my place. but i never said it was "my thread." i just meant it could be closed because i've given the correct answer jk though, i think it's a great thread and has prompted quite a conversation. i appreciate hearing others' thoughts on it, from different perspectives.
:cheers2:

 

...It's all good, as I say. I wasn't pissed, just irritated a bit. Ok, you may keep your tag line...lol.

I totally understand being passionate about something and looking for a positive response, then annoyed with unintelligent feedback.
I gave up expectations on forums and chat boxes, usually just people talking about everyday useless dribble, nothing to learn, teach, or discuss.

It's so hard for me to talk openly with most people and not hold back, simply because they won't understand, or bound by their religion to not discuss certain things, so I avoid the stupid feedback they'd give to hide their ignorance, by speaking as common as I can... though it doesn't always work.

Peace

 

i'd rather get in a heated discussion than ignore what someone else says....to a point of course

 

Societal, social, and political evolution are certainly interesting, worthy topics. Those processes just won't alter your DNA, which is the kind of evolution that the OP was asking about. Maybe this side topic deserves its own thread.

 

Yeah, our terms may be debatable and we may need clarification from the original poster, but they may have been asking if humans are coming to operate outside of natural selection. The primary mechanism of evolution.

 

I've read many threads on here, and many of them evolve one way or another, some way off topic and back again... it's just a conversation with a life of its own, so let go of the control issue's and let it go where it goes... and watch what it sparks to life... it's all good.

 

different races are still the same species though bro.

and like i said before, it's actually genetically beneficial to "interbreed"

 

Yeah man, true Paganism teaches respect for people of all races,creed, and color. You sound pretty one sided and full of hatred. Try not to give us a bad name, we have enough problems with people coming down on Pagans.
I know the world is far from peaceful, but at least do your part to not make it worse.

Peace and blessings to ya...

 

So how is it you know me so well from a few posts that you think I'm not a Pagan, and know nothing of nature, and can't be a pagan because I sound like a hippie?
You know, I too admire the Norse culture, and can even read and write in the Rune language, and though they had their share of battle, they too have beauty and culture, and honor. And this honor also holds love and respect... not anger and hatred as you keep showing on your posts.
I reached out an arm in friendship by siding with you on a post and you chop it off...
So now I have something in common with the god TYR, only one arm, and already having Norse blood within me, we are brothers and should stand side by side in battle and share meat and mead in the halls of ODIN.

So what say you... let's save the anger for other's more deserving and toast in their downfall....

Hail, Hail, Hail !!!

 

Dude, what's your problem? Can't you see there are good people out there, who don't need to prove themselves to get through life.
I'm not one to say things to impress others, if I say it, then so mote it be!!!
I don't have an ego to feed...I could care less if you believe anything I say. I know what I know... and we all have our own experiences.
I used to be just as angry as you, possibly more, when I was in my 20's, I had a smart mouth and got into trouble, and partied a lot, but I got tired of the hatred eating away at my life and pushed it away. When you focus on only the negative, it's energy will consume you... change the focus to positive things, then you'll evolve into something better, and less stressed too.
Yeah, I still see much negativity all around me, but I also look for the good, though you usually have to look deeper than whats on the surface, but it is there.
I read your other posts and agree with you on a few things, even though others gave you shit about it... they just don't understand...so what, forget them.

Hagalas, I give you the Gebo of Wunjo!!!
(I'd write it the real way, but my keyboard don't have the proper keys)

Peace

 

Quick note, different races are like different breeds of dogs. Bears and dogs are is not a good comparison. If the idea is that breeding some types of dogs has negative effects, especially on the health of the up itself, may be true. But its also how some of the most beautiful breeds came to be.

Back to the point, evolution never ends as its a constant process. The issue lies in manner in which were evolving. Is it for the better or worse in relation to our survival on this planet?

Also, because of how complex our species is, different people are evolving differently. Physically it will take some time to discover how we are becoming different, but socially and mentally there are obviouse changes in certain groups that can be explained sociologically and anthropologically.

 

I agree...very well put.

 

Good enough...hey, did you understand the saying I wrote at the bottom of the page?

 

no but dogs fuck different BREEDS of dogs. a bear is not a breed of dog is it? it's a different species. if races are just like breeds of an animal, (i think you mean breeds of a species) that would prove the point that a white man (yourself?) is perfectly suited to fuck a black woman. i know i'd do that (with pleasure [if i didn't have a girlfriend if you're reading hunny]) and especially before i'd fuck a dog. maybe the latter is more common around your circle or friends.

the point is that people of all races are your fellow human. you can be proud of your culture without hating others'. you should show compassion and kindness to your neighbor, and leave the judging to whichever being you choose (god, satan, etc)
and i don't think my snide 1st paragraph contradicts myself. i'm just using a "mean" way of saying it so that you really "hear" it. i've got more love than hate for you no matter if you're a dumbass or not:cheers2:

 

i feel bad for you not having received a proper education

from what i know about nature, different breeds of dogs will fuck each other quite readily. they may not even show a preference for their own kind. so "following nature" would be to reproduce with a fit black woman rather than an unfit white one. no? would you fuck a white sheep before an attractive black female?

 

and to illustrate my previous point, that human aren't evolving positively is that that guy^^^ is probably gonna have children and pass on genetic diseases (if his blood is a pure as he'd like to think) as well as teach them hate.

 

Translation:Hagalas(sign is H, with slanted bar)=Hail
Gebo(sign is an X)=Gift
Wunjo(sign is like a "p"but pointed, not round)=Joy

Meaning... Hail, I give you the Gift of Joy.

Rune script is fun, I write letters to people and give them another paper with the runic alphabet so they can translate it. Great for secret messages amongst the Muggles.
