Question on evolution?

Question

The fossils found have been cataloged and observed as possible evolutionary beings.
Could they have been humans with genetic disorders?
We have craniosynostosis, hypophosphatasia, osteochondroma, arthritis, and several other bone disorders.
Has there been study to disprove disorders of these kinds?
It could be a validated reason for the skeletal structures uncovered, no?

Visual recognition based on what?
They have no "picture" to confirm their find.
The possibility is there, even probability that they may be finding less than perfect specimens.

Answer 1

Yes you are right. The mummified remains for in the french alps was first thought to be the missing link but was then proven to be someone with arthritis. all evolution is theory. Science states that if you put fungus in a plate and add bacteria the fungi evolves. That is not evolution, it is adaptation. Do people who adapt to cigarette smoke evolve? No they are adapting to the smokes effects on the body, and are no different to anyone else except the chemical balance, which everyone has a different balance.

Answer 2

Unlikely. It's extremely rare to find human remains that old, so the odds that the ones they find all also have some extraordinarily rare bone disease is mind bogglingly improbable. As well as someone with such an advanced condition living to adulthood in the conditions they lived in. Aside from all that, I'm sure they could test for, if not just visually recognize symptoms of those diseases in the bones. Sorry, but you're going to have to come up with something better than that.

Edit: This, for example;

"Osteochondroma is a type of benign tumor that consists of cartilage and bone.

It is the most frequently observed neoplasm of the skeleton. It is also called a "bone spur"."

You wouldn't even need to run any sophisticated tests for this. This disease creates tumors on the bone which you would simply be able to see if you're looking at a bare skeleton. Arthritis also is damage to the joints, which would be visible on bare bone.

Answer 3

Let's just clear up the confusion here. Forget the phrase possible evolutionary beings. 99% of the fossil record could be missing but as long as there are say half a dozen complete fossil records for species showing stages of evolutionary change that is sufficient evidence to show evolution is a fact. There are in fact several hundred complete fossil records too many to worry about one or two meaningless anomalies.

Answer 4

Finding only fossils only of the deformed is highly unlikely. We would have found contemporary "healthy" specimens far more readily if they existed. In addition, the skeletal structures aren't deformed... they are clearly transitions between ape like and human like primates.

The evidence suggests they were an earlier form of man. Not a cripple.

Answer 5

For some species - like Neanderthals - there are dozens of specimens. Are you really saying that an entire population all suffered from the same constellation of bone disorders to provide the illusion of a coherent species? Or that diseases are responsible for the smooth progression of skulls shown in the link:

Also, many neanderthal specimens are from strong boned and robust individuals, not weak and diseased ones.

No, this is not a credible explanation.

Also, this isn't a religion question, it's biology.

Answer 6

one million) in accordance to evolutionists, human beings developed from apes? human beings are apes with the help of definition. Linnaeus labeled us as such and he grow to be a creationist. 2) there are a number of shown information in technological understanding, yet evolution is largely a thought. fake simply by a pretend effect of the be conscious thought. A actuality, in technological understanding, is a discrete portion of preparation. Theories connect information and clarify them. there is not any larger class than thought. 3) A transitional style is a fossil of an animal it fairly is a factor one species and section yet another. fake. All organisms are transitional. 4) The age of the earth is desperate with the help of scientists entirely in the process the radioactive relationship of fossils ? The age of the Earth grow to be desperate with the help of relationship a meteor on the thought the photograph voltaic gadget grow to be each of an identical age. All different calculations in superb condition the age chanced on. 5) The scientific approach starts with a prediction and then looks for information to assist that prediction? It starts with commentary. Then a hypothesis is formed from that commentary. After the hypothesis is formed, scientists seek for information to assist or falsify the hypothesis. 6) the assumption of evolution incorporates the huge Bang? fake. 7) To have confidence in evolution is to have confidence that existence and be counted got here from not something? fake.

Answer 7

Remotely possible. But are you saying that ALL these fossilized specimens suffered from genetic defects, and JUST THE RIGHT defects to create an unbroken chain of evolutionary advancement? And that we've NEVER found a SINGLE fossilized HEALTHY specimen from the same time period?

What do you suppose the odds of THAT are?

Answer 8

No, because in most cases, the have been multiple examples of each fossil. Also the age of the fossils rule out their being human.

Answer 9

well,,, we really don't know of any disease that cause people to become **** erectus-like, or **** habilis-like, or any of the other well defined hominids for that matter.

and even if there were such diseases, it's be quite a coincidence for ALL of the specimens from a given area and time to be inflicted with the same disease and for there to be ZERO people who were NOT inflicted by each specific disease or any of these other theoretical diseases.

Answer 10

No

Please take a look at the wealth of fossil evidence establishing Evolutionary changes.
