The amount of people that think we evolved like pokemon is insane

[constantine]

Thank you! I think so many people have their understanding of evolution backwards because of the context which it’s used when describing it such as “they evolved in response to” which makes it sound reactionary instead of by random mutation.

While he was wrong he also stumbled upon an idea close to epigenetics.

People keep saying “Darwinism” as if Charles Darwin was the last word in Evolution. Darwin never knew much about fossils, let alone DNA! He never knew about the FACT that we share 50% of our DNA with corn and wheat! Evolution is the story of how life evolves, no matter if you believe it or not!

[KenikoB]

No, his theory was that animals that did certain things, like giraffes that stretched to reach the taller leaves, would work those body parts and pass it down to their children

[Shades]

Lol, I remember my 7th grade science teacher having a whole lesson dedicated to everything Darwin got wrong.

[anujverma]

He thinks evolution takes place in just 10 or 20 years!

[waliul]

There is on going discussion within the academic sphere, where secular, atheist academics in evolutionary biology are challenging the neo Darwinian model by bringing forward the model of neo-Lamarckism

[kathrynsun]

Although he was wrong, he was actually sorta onto something because we now know abt epigenetics

[arshineskandari]

it's not about trying to get taller it's about some genetic mutation that happened and cus one or two taller giraffes and when trees had no other food on their bottom sides and the shorter giraffe die out and the taller ones stay alive and they cuzed Population increase of taller giraffe

[bhaveshjugnauth]

You can't say it isn't true just because you can't get tall enough
Everyone has a physical limitaion to how much they can achieve, the next generation will probably have a limitation much higher than the previous one thus will be better in every category compared to its predecessor

[pinklasagna]

He said that part of our bodies that we uses alot and moves alot grows bigger and stronger


All boys know that is just not true

[Peaches.Gonsalez]

There's also evolution through mutation theory. Interesting.

[lbb]

So much evidence at this point it’s not a theory

[mrniceguy]

the reason why it is myth because if the smaller dies of this silly example then they shouldn't have exist in the first place

[carlislegenegundran]

hold on, didn't Charles Darwin live until 1882?

[BasiliscBaz]

Bro belive in manifastation and was biologist

This doesn’t prove anything you can’t become a basket ball player because your ancestors never wanted to play basket ball this is what you call sympatric speciation, to adapt to your species liking. Being tall is a mutation, our dominant gene is dwarfism, but it’s rare to get it because the way our species evolved to be. There’s also a very big flaw that I don’t think you brought up and that is homologous structure, it’s in almost every animal, this is impossible to disprove because it’s everywhere. One bone two bone many bones. It’s in birds giraffes elephants hippos lizards, dogs, cats, humans/Homo-sapiens, apes, chimps, gorillas, geckos, frogs, whales, dolphins, fish. I can keep going on and on you may look at all these structures and say bull crap but it’s not we all look different because of evolution speciation allopatric and sympatric speciation, divergent and convergent evolution, and vestigial structures( our tailbone ) this all plays a role in how we look like Africans and Slavics they look different because they are adaptive to their surroundings/ survival of the fittest or Darwin’s theory. Homologous structures is every where adapted to the animals surroundings, not likings, disprove this comment with your magical being that has no proof of every existing but in a book. A BOOK, not in fossils, animals, and the planet itself, in a book that was told by a man. Which men like the government can manipulate and bend the truth to his or hers liking.

But people have grown taller. And its because women prefer taller men so its past on though birth to the children, so we have people today who would tower over past humans.

You're telling me that Newton invented gravity but this guy couldn't invent the ability to join the NBA? What a sick joke.
