Really?  I thought they walked down from southeast Asia during an extreme low tide.

They did! They even picked up the bones of their ancestors along the way

I thought for a moment I might learn something new about evolution. Now its just a sad thread...

The point however is to make sure that people know how evolution works otherwise is all futile.  

There is no point in believing in something if we do not know how the system works.
That would be faith rather than real knowledge.
It would be like a child that believe in Santa.
It would be all good but in the dream land not in the reality.

Here some question that we should know before we can say that we know what survival is all about.

1) Is evolution based only in body changes or involve consciousness as well?
2) What is driving evolution?
Survival only or involve also the need to reach some goal in life?
3) Are individual who are not able to survive lost for ever or will pop up in a different environment  most suitable to their capabilities to survive?
4) Did Darwin and other really studied other possibilities other than whether evolution is driven only by survival?
5) Can a plant evolve into an animal, an animal into a human or plant stay plant, animal stay animal and human stay human?
6) If evolution exist is because there is a goal to reach or is all about random chances?
7) Does evolution act like the gear of a vehicle that increase his speed as it change the gear?

1) Evolution involve consciousness as well.
2) Involve also the need to reach some goal in life.
3) Will pop up in a different environment most suitable for their capabilities to survive.
4) No Darwin and other didn't studied that. (shame on them)
5) plant stay plant animal stay animal human stay human.
6) There is a goal to reach.
7) Yes. Increase his speed as it change gear.

I studied hard for the annual little rik exam. Can't wait for him to assess my paper. I am guaranteed 6/7 (not sure about number 5 though). Please post the correct answers as well LR.

For future reference, you will not learn anything new about evolution (or anything else) in a thread authored by Little Rik.

Boru

What you will get, however, is a fuck-ton of red herrings, projection, goalpost-shifting, bald asserions and personal insults. If that's your bag, stay tuned.

Any thread started by Little Rik is a sad thread.

First time i see you making a typo. You misspelled knowledge and enlightenment.

That's because it's not worth attempting a serious discussion with little Rik.

But if you have a serious question about evolution then feel free to ask it and have it answered.

That's what I typed. Only the truly evolved and enlightened can see it. Why, what did you see?
