Evolution question...?

Question

If evolution has happened exactly the way all the evolutionists are saying, then why didn't mankind evolve with more fur and not less? If early man ran around, basically naked while outside stalking prey and all that... with no clothes and no shoes on, they would be hurting themselves all the time and probably would succumb to hypothermia in a world like this... especially in those regions of the world with cooler temperatures during both day and night and summer and winter. No one would survive with no warmth, no fire (having not discovered it yet) and only something like a cave for shelter... how would early man come to the evolutionary milestone to begin using tools to use animal hides for covering without dying of exposure?

Because as they say, it took time for mankinds brain to grow to the point where it could process making tools and clothes.

so mankind did not move out of africa until they had the brainpower to adapt to cooler climates.. that makes sense

Although, why would they want to move out of a warm region like africa?

Good answers...

Thanks everyone!!

I'm not going to look at who I think is right or wrong but pick the answerer who seems the most gracious and open to thought... even if contrary to what I believe.

Another thing I thought of...

what would the motivation be for early man to learn to make clothes if they were so warm? I know that many contest that Africa was once wooded and when there was a lightning strike, that could be when man first noticed fire... but how could he know to recreate it himself? I have also noticed documentaries, dramas, books, etc. of early man, mostly naked and barefooted... by their newly discovered fire, squatting on a rock surrounded by evergreens. Is the setting meant to represent Africa?? This seems, in the least, a less than accurate depiction.

Answer 1

Great Question.

Mega mover - The answer is not common sense. Why would natural selection favor man without fur to man with fur - when the climate dictates that we need fur?

Answer 2

I was with out clothes and shoes and exposed to beat the band this morning in the shower. I looked down and saw an evolutionary milestone (I think) and I survived with out a cave or animal clothing.
I wanted to build a fire and my wife said (she gets to the point)
what the hay are you up to now.
I told her it was a new invention of mine to barbecue while showering so you don't have to shower, get all dressed up then waste time fixing breakfast, setting the table and all that time wasting stuff as I and others like to spend time watching foot ball and stuff. Besides, beings all of us came from Africa and except your mother of course, (her name was Harry for a reason) My wife said there is no football at 5;30 am Thursdays so what was I talking about and I said=+ was it your mother I saw at the zoo? She said, yes. I said= ^another evolutionary milestone in her case. She said=+_* **(a 3 letter word) Dad left MOM because she made him itch and break out in a rash and I said=*****just leave me alone while I eat this wet hamburger>Mc Donald's wanted my invention and I said maybe. (does it matter?) Both sides talk in circles.

Before clothes, early human ancestors lived in Africa and the middle east. They moved to cooler climates after they started using fire and clothes. Also, they did have more hair then modern humans. After they started making clothes, they started losing hair. They moved out of Africa in search of new territory and food.

Answer 4

First off, the science of evolution is not exact...so, you are incorrect to state "...exactly the way all the evolutionists are saying...".

Secondly, your assumption of hunting without clothes and being hurt are based on your own personal experience as a person who likely lives a comfortable, well-fed and sheltered life.
Fact is, humans are adaptable and just because you might not be able to comprehend a harsh lifestyle, doesn't mean that it isn't possible.

However, I'm not out to change your mind.
You are free to think and believe as you see fit.
It is a pity that some people are so hung-up with their creationist viewpoint that they can't acknowledge scientific evidence to the contrary!

Oh, well!
Early day Christan's thought the Earth was flat, too!

Answer 5

Because not having fur is better in the heat. Our original ancestors are from the very hot part of Africa. There are LOTS of species without fur there. Now we were able to use our brains to overcome that and move north anyhow by wearing cloths. That gives you BOTH advantages.

Evolution doesn't always go the way you think. It does what is best for survival in the totality of the environmental niche hat you are in.

Answer 6

That was the process of evolution. We developed the brain power to make tools and then use them. Early man probably did have more hair, but as we got better at clothing ourselves, it became less important. Thats waht evolution does.

Answer 7

There were several Ice Ages in the earth's history - that is when, scientists believe, most of the earth was covered with ice. It has recently been discovered that man was around during the most recent Ice Age - about 16,000 years ago. This apparently surprised scientists as they generally thought modern man didn't show up until approximately 10,000 years ago.
My belief is that, just like the rest of us, earth scientists spend their time guessing at how earth and man came to be and their theories are ever changing with each new bit of contradicting information.
It takes faith to believe that God created the earth and everything in it. And it takes faith to believe that scientists are on the right path to figuring it out. It's up to you to decide whom you want to put your faith in - God or man.

Answer 8

Because early man evolved in Africa and proceeded out from there. It was warm in Africa. By the time man left Africa, fire was discovered and man had the same brainpower we have now, so they were able to overcome, improvise and adapt.

Answer 9

Good question. It does not make sense. But sense is not what most on this forum are interested in hearing. Interestingly Paul prophesied about the present attitudes by writing in the letter to the Romans the following words:

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. ... They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.


Blessings,

Have you ever wondered what happened to the Wooly Mammoth?? He shed his hair and became an elephant. Not much need for hair in a hot environment...

If you look at early man, we did indeed have much more body hair than we do today. Here is a hint - look at your crotch and underarms - if evolution is bogus, why is there hair still in these places, despite years of women shaving it all off?!?! We wear clothing now, so why have hair there? Its a remnant of evolution. Thats why.
