if humans were to evolve right now, what trait do you think we would acquire?

Answer 1

To answer your question ... it's not like evolution just occurs one day. Evolution is *always* occurring. It's just very very slow.

Rev. Albert is again his "brilliant" self.

First ignoring the glaring fact that two-thirds of college graduates do *not* accept the Biblical account of creationism. Which is up from the percentage of the general public ... meaning that college educated kids are more likely to reject creationism. (Big surprise.)

A sentence conveniently left out by him:
"Seventy-three percent of Evangelical Protestants say they believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years; 39 percent of non-Evangelical Protestants and 41 percent of Catholics agree with that view."

Which means (even you should be able to do this in your head Rev Al) 28% of Evangelicals and 60% of non-evangelical Christians reject Creationism.

Which puts a bit of a damper on Rev. Al's attack on evolution as a belief only an atheist can hold.

Evolution is NOT atheism.

Answer 2

Um, it's not like Pokemon; doesn't really work that way. In the short form, evolution is a genetic-based change that arises within a population in response to some selective pressure. It's happening all the time. People who come from families that have lived for many decades in the high Andes have larger lung volume and more RBCs than those of us whose families have always lived down at sea level. Our differences as humans are due to evolution. We're still all humans, though - same species and everything. Different traits within populations are due to whatever local, strong (and in humans) long-term pressures that the population has to live with.

Answer 3

Evolution is not about the sudden acquisition of traits. Rather it is about natural selection of existing traits within a population. For this to occur, such traits need to be advantageous for the production of more offspring.

That is why, for example, I see no evidence that human beings will evolve to become more intelligent. There is no evidence that intelligent people have more offspring. On the contrary, if stupid people had more offspring, human beings could evolve to become less intelligent. And from the evidence of Jerry Springer and other shows, this is already happening.

Answer 4

we have no thank you to be responsive to if expertise and self expertise have or have not developed in the oceans. in the event that they did, what says that an aquatic thought of civilization could tournament our very own? without being able to hire fireplace, any underwater civilization could advance in a massively distinctive way than we did. We additionally won't be in a position to assert how magnificent or unsurprising the form of intelligence is. Intelligence is just one trait which would be chosen for in evolution. after all, each and all the mind in the international won't do any sturdy in case you do not have the palms to construct issues you think of up with. Or once you're so puny which you get eaten in the past you advance the flexibility to take care of your self against different predators. We certainly lucked out in the cosmic lottery in that regard.

Answer 5

There are a number of theories of the different directions of human evolution. As an example, it is thought that human mouths are evolving to be smaller than they used to be, which is why many people do not have room for their wisdom teeth to come in and they have to be removed. There are some people who are born without them (maybe thats a bad way to put it since you don't have any teeth when you're born, but you get the picture). My mother never had any wisdom teeth... we call her evolution in action. =P

Answer 6

Humans are evolving right now.
The next generation is descended from the people in the current generation who choose to have children (sound good so far?).

The trend is that women who have educations and careers tend to have fewer children than those who don't have educations and careers. Extrapolating that, the next step in the evolution of humankind is that future women will be less interested in educations and careers.

Answer 7

humans would havd another foot, and hand, and another head, we would be duplexed because right now it seems we can't do all of the crap we want or need in a reasonable amount of time, so the only logical solution is for us to evole into two, still somewhat connected....

the way people see it is that the children born with that conjoined disability have it going on.....

this is the best way for it to happen, short of cloning ourselves, which probably won't work

Answer 8

Hey dumb a$$, evolution is a fact "Rev. Einstein." And as for the person who asked the question, people are evolving as we breath. If we are speaking Natural Selection, then I would have to say thousands of years from now all of our toes will be equal in length(because of shoes) and our appendix will be gone.

Answer 9

Not how evolution works....run along now and read your x-men comics.

Answer 10

well, I don't know about acquire but they would diffiently would not have an appendix.
