How do you think we are evolving?
All living beings are constantly changing, we call it evolution. We've been evolving since the beginning of time. No matter what you believe in, this is a fact.
My question is: how do you think humans are evolving now? What are we gaining, what are we losing, what is changing to adapt to the environment of today? Do you think humans evolved and progressed too fast for our own good?
My lesser question is: are any races, ethnicities, or groups of people more equipped to pass down traits to offspring that gives them a better chance of survival? Traits like darker skin, better vision, stronger muscles and things of that nature. I realize this question is walking a fine line, so hopefully my wording prevents any misunderstandings.
I think humans are becoming weaker in mind and body. With all of our advancements in medicine, the people who used to die off are now being kept alive to breed more weak people. For the most part, at least here in America and other Western countries, we have removed natural selection or drastically changed the conditions of it. Strong humans used to mate with other strong humans, resulting in the children being strong themselves. And if they weren't, they were quickly taken out of the gene pool. We have idiots with low quality genes making more idots with low quality genes. The cycle continues and weak genes are continually being passed down through the generations.
Our minds are becoming weaker because of poor education and thirst for knowledge. I've witnessed the others around me becoming less and less aware of the world around them. I don't know the factors that are making this happen, but I'm sure there are hundreds. As a society we are not being forced to think as much as we used to with the creation of the internet, allowing us to look up information without retaining what we know. Instant gain, long term loss. These people who aren't educated by themselves will have children with presumably the same problem as the parents.
Oh, don't limit yourself to changes unseen. If you think we are going to grow a third leg because it will help us walk, say so. Be speculative and creative or you can back your theories up with some hard science and fact. There is no right or wrong.
