Is there such a thing as human evolution anymore?

Question by imrh: Is there such a thing as human evolution anymore?

From my understanding of evolution, it is a product of natural selection and not a predetermined clockwork sort of progress (as in, it’s not like we have something in our genetic makeup that says we’ll just suddenly have bigger brains and no toes in a thousand years). I’m asking if there is such thing a selection anymore? We have basically entered an age where most anyone can find anyone to procreate with and the natural aspects (survival, the ability to provide food, the ability to nominally protect your young, etc..) have been eliminated. I’m not some facist, just someone interested in biology and would like to hear some thoughts. The toes reference before was a starter because I’ve heard that a couple times (as in it would make sense for them to fuse as they serve no purpose) even though I can’t see a situation where certain humans will be sexually selected for having fused toes? Understand? If you do, I would love to hear your thoughts. I guess disease is really it.

I believe that evolution is God’s way of letting His/Her creations sort out their own flaws. He/She may have created us in His/Her own image, but with the knowledge that we were flawed and would always be.

That said, our flaws would always require refinement and improvement. So, God created a chaotic, self-balancing system such that favorable traits would be reinforced, while unfavorable traits would be weeded out. Hence, evolution.

So, natural selection, to me, does not imply the lack of conscious design. God may have set in motion the original design, and let it unfold from there on its own.

So yes, there still is human evolution and there always will be unless our entire species is selected out (a possibility which God saw fit to allow to happen).

Why is the human body so poorly designed?

Question by Chinkmann: Why is the human body so poorly designed?

The human body is one of them most poorly designed pieces of crap I have ever seen. It has so many flaws. How has evolution come up with such a stupid design? Who ever designed our weak, pathetic bodies is a moron. Don’t give me that God bullshit because its a f*cking fairytale.

With all the recalls on pet food what human foods can a pet eat?

Question by DuSteDShaDoW: With all the recalls on pet food what human foods can a pet eat?

I was thinking that with all the recalls on pet food, that it may be safer to just cook and feed them foods that I know what is going into it, and not leaving it to a food production company, so what human foods would be safe and provide the necessary nutrition (vitamins and minerals) for a cat?

Why does the human body store fat endlessly?

Question by Neurofractal: Why does the human body store fat endlessly?

Why isn’t there a mechanism that determins when enough fat has been stored before it becomes unhealthy.

I mean, if I want to fill my gas tank more than capacity, the gas will squirt out of the tank. But the human body is like a gas tank which would grow the more as you put more gas.

It would be stupid to design a small car with a gas tank the size of a train. Nature should’ve predicted this.

REMOVE your answer NOW, or else I will post insults and put-downs on all your future questions. Also, you’ve been reported and I will report all your future answers and questions.

You’re STUPID and you assume things about me. I’m NOT fat, just curious about this fact of the human body. Some Ass_holes like you cannot answer a question without attacking the questioner. Please fall off a cliff and make us all happy.

Answer by Aaron
You underestimate the benefit to having a giant “gas tank”. You’d be grateful for an expandable gas tank if you were constantly worried about where your next fill-up was coming from!

Your body’s fat storage strategy evolved in an environment where food supply was *uncertain*! Storing as much fat as your body could possibly accommodate made sure you weren’t *dead* by the time you next found food.
