If evolution is true?

Question

Wouldn't that mean that homosexuality would be natural? Same goes for cannibalism unfornuately. If we evovled from apes then we and the primates of now do things a like. The other day I was watching a show on animals. There was one part where two male snow monkeys were mating. Another part there showed apes hunting smaller monkeys for food. In our world that would be cannibalism. Because their both primates. Religious people try to be open-minded for the question and put your beliefs aside for now.

Answer 1

Yes, Many different species practice homosexuality (deerbucks,giraffes, birds) Eathworms are asexual,there is a fish that can change it's sex if there are too many male or females in it's school. People need to realize that 1. Nature is cruel and wild and 2. Nature DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE

Many animals are cannibalistic, snakes, hawks eating smaller birds,fish eating other fish
Animals do whatever they need to for Survival,whether it be cannibalism for food or homosexuality for a primal urge to mate or be in a group (herd,school,flock, whatever)

But the belief is that man can make the choice to engage in these behaviors or not. I personally believe that people are born with certain traits about them, their environment only helps to shape a part of their lives.

Answer 2

Actually homosexuality is quite common in the animal kingdom. I'm not sure you can draw any conclusion one way or the other about homosexuality in humans. Yes, it means that it is "natural" in some individuals (not all), but if it was hurtful to someone, then that would be reason enough to avoid it. However, since homosexuality doesn't seem to hurt anybody, then there's no reason to avoid it or prohibit it.

As for cannibalism, that is different, and extremely rare in mammals. Cannibalism is eating members of your own species. An ape eating a monkey is not cannibalism, as they are different species (monkeys and apes are very different). Humans (who are primates) are also known to eat other primates, but that does not make them cannibals.

Answer 3

There are a pair of theories in the back of this, yet something like infinite regression in fact says "it is so far back we don't be attentive to and could not be attentive to." ideally, we don't be attentive to what began evolution. yet this could desire to be examined extra heavily between micro and macro evolution. Macro evolution continues to be very quite contested, and dissimilar question its validity interior the sphere of biology. Micro evolution is all approximately adaptaion to stay to tell the tale. Necessity is the mummy of invention...even though it would look that lots it extremely is stated in micro evolution is organic danger, not necessity. the two way, survival may be a sturdy motivator for adapability. this is slightly bit twisted good judgment, materials are constrained so by some potential a mutation happens which factors one creature a much better facet over others (micro evolution)...finally those mutations will substitute into so great that there is an entire new species (macro evolution). yet there looks to choose a making use of rigidity, on the grounds that rely unearths its lowest good point of capacity, why might it try to compete? what's thechronic? of direction technological know-how Fiction does factor out that radiation can mutate lizards into horribly great fireplace respiration beasts.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what question you're asking.

Homosexual behavior is fairly common in all animals. If something is widely observed in nature, I suppose that makes it "natural" in one sense. In this sense, other "natural" behaviors (that is, behaviors commonly observed in nature) include murder, cannibalism and infanticide. They also include being altruistic to kin, sounding alarms when danger is perceived, and baby-sitting.

When speaking of primates, zoologists do not classify observed behaviors as good or bad, or as moral or immoral. A behavior that is rarely observed is called a rare behavior, not a wrong one.

Amongst pygmy chimpanzees, also called bonobos, homosexual behavior is observed quite frequently. It seems to help foster social cohesion and reduce aggressiveness. Zoologists theorize that individuals who engage in sex play (whether same-sex or opposite-sex -- bonobos are rather indiscriminate) increase the likelihood of favorable treatment from others. The same can be said of human primates in many cultures.

Answer 5

what i don't get is if we evolved from primates,how come they don't have same blood types?however some monkeys share some similarities or singularities with humans,but the same as well do horses etc,an even having the same blood,then they dont have the same DNA structure,then again they are "almost" similar,but not equal,so we are humans not animals,and in the same way we have evolved , all should have done as equal,but
that does not mean evolution is not real ,but not from the point of view that we evolved from monkeys,pertaining to homosexuality
its a natural behavior,and cannibalism is extended to refer to any species consuming members of its own kind, then again
it would be natural--(example-even dogs eats their dogs)

Answer 6

As a religious person how do I express what I believe about this if I must keep those beliefs aside?. One point to make. An island full of all men exist in one part of the world, an island of all women on the other, and an island in the middle somewhere with both genders. All have a perfect climate free from natural disasters and perfect for food production and all inhabitants of each are immune to any life threatening diseases. For arguments' sake all is "utopia" on all three islands. In 100 years (give or take) only one island has any inhabitants. That is the definition of "natural".

Answer 7

Concepts of morality have been put in place by humans. There is no such thing as "right" and "wrong" or "good" and "bad" in the animal world.

As another responder has pointed out, though, just because something is "natural" does not necessarily mean that it is evolutionarily effective. Homosexuality would be a good example.

Answer 8

Homosexuals and cannibals can not use the fact of their " naturalness " as defense, as that would be committing the " naturalistic fallacy ". We do not derive " ought from is ". Just because something is natural, does not mean that it is good. It does not mean that it is bad, either, just that the value we place on something, be it moral value, can not be intrinsic to the thing. Look up " naturalistic fallacy ".

Answer 9

A lot of things are natrual, but that doens't mean they are right. Infidelity is natural, but it is wrong. I think it's safe to say that cannibalism is wrong. It's murder. As far as homosexuality, I see hwo it could be natrual, but I really don't have much of on aopinion on whether it is right or wrong.

Answer 10

i dont want to seem mean to homosexuals, but scientifically, i think that it would be a defect in their bodies. i dont think it really has to do with evolution...but sure
