How did humans evolve? (Darwin, evolution, recall, science)

[budhabee]

Hey Auto sorry it took so long. Didn't realize you had started without me. heh heh
well anyway. I agree we got the body of cro-magnon man etc. fast forward. Even apes and how we sprung off their ancient limbs. However I do believe we were developed as a mystery. I believe our spirits were there at creation and we were waiting for the perfect vehicle to begin to reincarnate. I don't think the spirits we are today would incarnate into a lizard brain with the flight or fight response. Yet evidently we did. But not without complaint. As we were incarnating we were dying and going home saying EEEWWWWWWW!!! "Don't you have something better than that for us to inhabit Lord?" But as we know now these things take time. heh heh
Sorry it took so long to respond. Still they haven't found the MAJOR missing links.
There should be something found. It should be all around. Yet it isn't.

i dont know but if you find the answer could you tell me...could do with some evolution right now

Genetics and Chromosome 2. We share a common ancestor with the great apes, end of story. Unless you care to describe how one of our chromosomes is two of the other great ape chromosomes. It's easily explained by chromosomal fusion, but that would require sharing a common ancestor.

Have you any idea how rare it is for an animal to become preserved after it dies?

Evidently not.

All the hominid bones we have we have found so far older than homo sapien would fill only one or two tea chests...

Then of course you gotta dig up the bones and there is no big X marking the spot!
Its almost always by chance that we find ancient human remains.

Some people think that there are major missing links?

Why would they think that, we have australopithecines that are semi ape semi hominids, we have Neanderthals that had art and ceremonial burial, our cousins, and we have Cro Magnon, so closely related to humans that you would not look at one twice in the street, we have many more species, hominids and extinct great apes, we find more every month, don't worry we will get all your missing links LOL.

Am I arguing evolution. NOT>....Just arguing. Have to admit we definately need our lizard brains.

Well that's fascinating, budha, but this thread is not about, and I am not at all interested, in your odd personal beliefs, although you are certainly entitled to have them. Just please don't call them scientific, as they're not. As for science, it has learned that Homo sapiens is a species of ape, that we and chimpanzees are descended from a common ancestor, and this has been established beyond a doubt. It is apparent from your post that you are completely unacquainted with the last 50 years of research into our origins. Are you interested in learning about it? If so I will bring you up to speed.

What missing links do you think we need? The evidence is in. Sorry, you're wrong. Would you like me to post pictures of hominid skulls and skeletons, so you can see the basic similarity? Or have you already made up your mind to disregard what we've found, to look right at a big fat elephant and deny that it's there?

So, what do you think of the reconstruction of a cro-magnon man? Still denying that he's human?

So what the heck are you saying then? Your post denied that humans are descended from apes [actually we are a species of ape.] Is that your position or isn't it?

Actually we are a species of hominid, but then the differences between hominids and apes are probably insufficent enough to warrant seperate taxonomical distinctions, ie genus.

Hominids are basically just apes that are fully bipedal, but different scientists argue over the details...

We certainly do need our reptile brains, the reptillian cortex, this controls your most basic emotions, hungers and instincts...

Am I not bowing down to your superority and knowledge in the human race or not. I sure am. Watch again closely. Well said.

I guess I am talking more spiritual where we should at least be all brother and sisters and really I guess we are. My brother is the horse, my sister is the eagle, my mother is CHEETA. We ARE all related. I see that now. Hooray for the unshakable race of humanity.
