Re: the apes evolved but we don't!

INFINITE LAURIE AND ECLO:

This is a quote from my initial post that started this thread:

"Its time to concentrate on social evolution to explain what is going on and quit fiddling around grasping for biological evolutionary straws that don't exist."

Even the so-called examples of human biological evolution so far presented here are mostly race ones, and surely you are not all implying that the teleological change we call "progress" is due to changes that make one race teleologically (I use this word now for you Eclo) "better" than the other, are you?

We have to have acquired the culture that has enabled us to populate the world through a process of natural selection, but you have shown no evidence that the process that accounts for all that change ("progress") that we see is biological.

What I propose is that the natural selection process is social, that societies are life-like entities bonded by mainstream ideological systems and that there is a natural selection process going on between them.

And I suggest we all avoid being condescending . . .

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
