Are our Brains evolving as time changes?

Question

I was wondering, since our climate and world is evolving, is our brains evolving more? They say we only use a percentage of our brain, meaning we do not use it to our full capacity. And our world is every day evolving into the digital world with more wireless components, Satelites, fiber optics, etc.. So wouldn't it be possible that, with all the, I guess "Static" in the air, that our brain would start to develope a, sort of advancement?

What I mean by "Static" is most of our components are activated by a remote that emits some frequency or "Wave"(I can't think of the proper word) from certain distances, and Satelites do this from space. So with all that static it would have effect on the brain in some nature.

Steph: Even you cannot deny that more and more things are becoming easier to use, via remote of some nature. Even open wires over neighborhood have proven to have an effect on people who have lived there.( I.E. Cases rangning from migrains to even Cancer.)

Bradley: But look at how all these frequencies are used. One would tend to think that this would put a rather static electricity in the air globally, since it is emitted that way. What I'm saying is all this static would have to take some sort of effect on the brain, either expanding in a degree or something. To me, it would seem plausible.

Kay: what I mean is the world changes as time goes by. We can attest that by the decades. But we are now going to a point where digital and wireless are becoming a part of our nature everywhere. And that means there's a change in the air, through satelites and fiber optics underneath us. So the mind could also take a change also.

Answer 1

Don't believe everything you hear.Man is actually getting dumber as time goes by.People in the bible times were healthier and smarter because our environment and our food was alot better and they didn't fill their minds full of darkness.Technology is master minded by satan to brainwash as many people as he can because he doesn't have much time left.Of course God makes sure that good things come from it as well,for those who love Him(Jesus).Science is always changing their findings on alot of things ,God doesn't, and His word is true.Some of the smartest people that ever lived couldn't disprove the bible.

Answer 2

it is a uncomplicated venture from uninformed skeptics of evolution. Biologists use the determination of a lot less complicated mild gentle structures that exist in residing species as we talk to hypothesize different evolutionary degrees eyes might want to have lengthy previous by potential of. it really is how some scientists imagine some eyes might want to have developed: the straightforward mild-gentle spot on the exterior of a few ancestral creature gave it some tiny survival income, perchance allowing it to circumvent a predator. Random variations then created a melancholy interior the mild-gentle patch, a deepening pit that made "inventive and prescient" somewhat sharper. collectively, the pit's starting gradually narrowed, so mild entered by potential of a small aperture, like a pinhole digicam. each replace had to confer a survival income, no count number how mild. ultimately, the mild-gentle spot developed right into a retina, the layer of cells and pigment on the again of the human eye. through the years a lens shaped at the front of the interest. it would want to have arisen as a double-layered clear tissue containing increasing quantities of liquid that gave it the convex curvature of the human eye. in reality, eyes equivalent to each level in this sequence were modern-day in modern-day residing species. The existence of this determination of a lot less complicated mild-gentle structures helps scientists' hypotheses about how complicated eyes like ours might want to evolve. the first animals with something resembling a watch lived about 550 million years in the past. And, in accordance to at least one scientist's calculations, in uncomplicated words 364,000 years might want to were mandatory for a digicam-like eye to evolve from a mild-gentle patch. Oh- FWIW, human hardly have the most perfect eyes of all the animals.

Answer 3

They are, but not for the reasons you think. Really, search the link below for the phrases "recent mutations in humans" and "brain size ranges".

The general trend, for at least the past 10,000 years, is that our brains are getting bigger. Or at least, they are developing more capacity at the top end of the range.

As for the percentage business, pay it no mind....we use all of the brain tissue we have, just not all of it at once, because the brain itself is laid out like a computer network with specialized nodes, one for vision, for example, one for long-term memory, one for movement, one for higher reasoning, and so on. So the workload just gets shifted around.

Hope this helps....I know you are in for some dry reading material but it should enlighten some. ^_^

Edit: I don't think I am disagreeing with you here. :) I'm just saying that our DNA is not so fragile. Most of the E.M. exposure you are talking about, from TVs, Microwave ovens, radios, cell phone towers, cordless phones and satellite connections, is of the non-ionizing sort. Meaning there isn't enough energy there to change molecular structures *by themselves*. That isn't to say that nothing happens, in particular, things do heat up...but that would be more likely to modify the behavior of *neurons* in a living organism rather than DNA itself.

To modify DNA you would either need ionizing radiation (along with its cancer risks), volatile organic compounds (plenty of those in the environment and our water supply and bloodstream), high rates of chronic disease and parasite infection (very high, because the introduction of transposon DNA in animals is about a million times rarer than what it is in plants), or a fairly *massive* lifestyle change that triggers an *epigenetic* change (turning dormant DNA back on....and this sort of thing normally takes generations to stick, your E.M./Static thing is too recent, it hasn't been altering lifestyles long enough for anything to stick in any more than isolated cases).

So yeah... I am not disagreeing with your larger point here. Evolution is still ongoing in humans....but I think you need to look into more sources and look more deeply into the likelihoods that DNA will be changed by any one source.

(assuming those nit-wit Bible-heads don't just have another spasm and attack us again for *daring to use our heads*, as per usual, of course)

Answer 4

We actually do use all of our brains, as neuroscience has shown us. It's likely that our brains are evolving, but the rate is probably very slow. Evolution has been going on for much much longer than humans have been around.

Answer 5

evolution has been happening for millions of years.. why would it have stopped now. humans tend to assume that because evolution has evolved us that we are the end of what evolution was trying to create, but that's a pretty arrogant assumption. evolution takes place every day, with every part of life.

Answer 6

Evolution is bogus!!! The only evoving MOST humans do is acting like a bunch of dang monkeys!!! We NEVER evolved from a monkey!!! If you do your research then you will realize Darwin was smoking crack in his day!!!

Answer 7

No. Stupidest thing I've ever heard. If your running in a race, and people are faster than you, are you suddenly going to run faster because your around those people? No.

Answer 8

I think brains are getting smaller, most people aren't as smart as thier parents.
