I'm not exactly sure what "evoliton" is, but growing new limbs doesn't have anything to do with evolution. But science is working with stem cells to produce new tissues, organs, etc. which will be great for transplants and such. But seeing as how your name is "Ihatescience", I doubt you care too much about these answers. I guess you've never been to the doctor or had your immunizations or had your tonsils removed. Questions like this make it very clear to me that evolution should continue to be taught in our schools so people will hopefully learn a little something about what it actually is! If you had learned a little about evolution, you could have saved yourself 5 points and saved us from having an extra headache.

Scientists are working on this problem at the moment by studying animals such as the salamander which can do just that and believe they have identified the cells involved in the process for doing it.
Although we cannot grow awhole limb at the moment we can replace substantial amounts of muscle.
I had a large part of my thigh muscle removed in an operation in 1982 and by scientific nursing the open wound grew new flesh day by day until after two months it had healed up to just leave me with a six inch scar.

Evolution, which is what I assume you meant, happens to populations over long periods of time, not just a select few individuals over the course of a few generations. Perhaps in a few million years, we may be able to grow new limbs if the necessity for that arises. Humans are predators (as opposed to prey) by nature and therefore didn't need certain abilities like some reptiles who can release their tails and regenerate, etc. Those are mechanisms for escape and survival. Our livers can regenerate and repair themselves. We just don't need to be able to spontaneously grow new limbs as a matter of survival. That's what evolution is all about.

Evolution takes a loooooong time to happen..
plus evolution doesn't happen like you think..
WE cant grow a limb every day.
Evolution happens generation to generation..
a mommy human will give birth to a baby with some very slight characteristics...so small..unnoticable.
then that process goes on until a new species is created..and the process continues.

Obviously, the asker have no knowledge of what evolution is. If we grow new limbs everyday, it's not evolution... it would just be growing.

Evoliton is not real, but I have heard of evolution. Until our environment changes and we need to adapt by growing extra limbs, it won't be coded in our DNA.

It takes many generations for evolution to work, and an extra limb would have to be a common mutation in humans in order for that to happen.
The idea of evolution (that makes sense), is that over time, traits that helped certain species survive eventually eradicated those that hindered them from surviving. That's why there aren't anymore short-necked giraffes, for example. They died easier, thus mated less than the long-necked ones. Over time, only the long-necked giraffes remain.
It makes a lot more sense than "They're that way cuz they are."

Your question reveals a profound misunderstanding of what evolution is and how it works. Let me ask one. If intelligent design is real, why do we have such fragile bodies?

I see ya got a ton of lame excuses for answers but they all know the truth that to believe in such goblygook as evolution takes a kindergarten brain.
