RE: Trail Of Human Evolution: From Ugly Apes To Beautiful Humans?

in #science7 years ago

Good work. I do have a few questions though. If apes evolved into man, why do we still have apes? They didn't finish evolving? Why do we happen to cage them in zoos, aren't they supposed to be our ancestors? When will humans evolve into the next specie? Or did evolution end with humans? And what was the first organism that started to evolve? And why haven't scientist report of other organisms evolving over the past thousands of years we have come to be.

Sort:  

Thanks for the questions.

Here's the point: The present day humans didn't evolve from the present day apes. But both of them shared a common ancestry.

Like I said in the post; evolution is continuous. As a matter of precision, the rate of human evolution has increased lately, and this is linked remotely to advancement in technology (and of course, neuroplasticity would have a part to play in this). Then, talking about the next stage of human evolution; it is already evident that technology would dictate this; and many superhumans would arise (it's been termed Human+).

And of course the ultimate destination could be singularity.

And what was the first organism that started to evolve?

This can be traced back to the prokaryotic cells; though this post does not cover that area; just human evolution.

Thanks for coming around

Haha, maybe I can blame my ugly on some ugly batch of red slime back in the day. It's too bad bone sites are so far and few between, would shed a lot of light on everything but understandable given how rare the conditions are for stuff to be well preserved.

Lol, you got me laughing hard. Well, there's still hope, and you're not completely ugly until someone else confirms it.. :)
