well did early man evolve from? and surel having strength is advantageous evenwith problem solving skills?
2007-07-23 11:31:36 · update #1
The simplest answer is that for whatever reason, we found it less advantageous than other adaptions. There is no way to really pick out one difference between modern apes and humans and answer "why" one evolved one way or another.
How do we know that our ancestors had the strength of modern apes? Maybe all primates were like us?

Humans are actually pretty strong, especially for our weight. But it has to be developed and used. If apes sat around all day without ever getting much (if any) excercize, they would lose a lot of their strength as well.

We didn't evolve from apes. There is no evidence linking us to apes. I don't know why they insist on teaching theory (weak theory) as fact. Most of the time, if you look up info on evolution you'll read things like, "scientists believe that..." That is not proof. Scientists believe that we came from apes and they set about looking for a way to connect us and every few years they find a new "missing link" that will explain it all and it always turns out to be bunk. Misinformation or made up facts.
I'm not some Bible-thumping religious fanatic, but I do believe in asking questions and not accepting as fact things that cannot be proven as fact.

Because we're not swinging on trees all day. Those of us who have decided to leave our ape bretheren have found better ways of getting from point A to B.
And while we're at it, if humans evolved from fish why am i unable to breathe in my bath water? It's very upsetting.

~It's called an opposable thumb and a brain. The brute strength of early man was phased out as unnecessary and detrimental (except in football linemen and action cartoons like Arnold Scharzenegger and Sylvester Stalone).

this is a myth. the apes have nothing to do with the quality's of a human be, human be is all at his on,
development start millions of years ago.in different Continent -we all are different and we have a different time of beginnings in fact 500 mil.year different from one spicy to anther.look the deference,Bone stretcher, logs are deference skin is deference- Bran is different Jo's are deference ayes and knows -are deference bran capacity, is deference, vogues is deference plus many Arther things..

Because as we changed our bodies still changed and it all happened for a reason so we could well we could show that humanity is changing.

berickf pretty well said it all & I have to take my hat off to him for his patience & diplomacy. I for one have tired of casting pearls before swine.
Evolution is not a theory, it is a genetically proven FACT.

Because as our brains developed, we gained advantage by using our problem solving abilities and tool making abilities thus losing our dependence on strength, speed, sight, smell, hearing, hair, teeth/nail strength, etc.
Update: Also, we didn't evolve from apes, we co-evolved from a common ancestor
