the future isn’t looking too bright Bill =/.
Sorry for the rant, but EVOLUTION NEVER FUCKING SAYS WE COME FROM MONKEYS. IT STATES WE AND PRIMATES HAVE A COMMON ANCESTOR, BUT WE DO NOT COME FROM PRIMATES AND PRIMATES DO NOT COEM FROM US. WE SHARE SIMILARITIES, AND EVOLUTION SAYS WE DERIVED FROM THE SAME ANCESTORS.
I’m sorry, I just get so fucking annoyed when people rant about the whole “evolution says we come from monkeys so why do we still have monkeys omg that means evolution is fake!” spiel. Rant over. Goodnight.

I for one am tired of that argument, but I don’t believe in evolution. I just, I can’t believe that we evolved like that, because if we had then we’d be evolving right now, and as far as I can tell, we aren’t.
Of course you can’t tell. Evolution takes millions of years and we’ve only been recording our history for a few thousand. It’s not like one generation is going to be noticeably different from the last, or even from one two thousand years ago.Also, adding to Sam’s point, see: height differentials over time, blood type commonalities and localizations, certain ‘endangered’ human recessive genes, human mutation in the constrains of virtuality unlimited biological fitness, and the predicted disappearance of wisdom teeth.
God can do anything, right ? If you actually believe that, why is evolution off the table?Also, look to humans living in extreme cold/hot conditions and the adaptions of their bodies through generations. Also, survival of the fittest, natural selection, immunity and adaptions against disease etc. Humans evolve and adapt through each generation, even if it’s by the smallest factors.
As Neil deGrasse Tyler said; ‘The good thing about science is that it’s true whether or not you believe it.’ And evolution is just a big part of that.
My oldest brother is the next evolutionary step. He had no wisdom teeth at all. And I only have one … do I get a silver medal?
Another sign that humans evolve and adapt? The Andes mountains and the people (not exclusive to indigenous Andes people, applies to indigenous people of any high mountain range) who live in the high mountains. Indigenous people of the Andes mountains have about 20% more blood, 60% more (by weight) hemoglobin and their red blood cells are larger allowing a greater surface area of oxygen absorption. Because they have all this “extra” blood, which is thicker than people who live in the lowlands (you and I), they have a larger heart and larger lungs. Their feet and hands are well supplied with small arteries and veins that make them immune to frostbite. They have evolved to survive. That is evolution.
