I'm not sure where this topic currently is, but I have a pretty good suspicion that it is well off the intended theme of the topic.
Repeating message 1 of this topic:
i was just thinking - why did we evolve into the state we are in now-
i've read topics saying that we no longer need to evolve as we just "invent" or make what we need - such as to fly we created planes, to help with bad eye-sight we made glasses, to combat disease we invented cures.
why did we need to evolve into humans (if you believe that we did). what do apes NOT have that they needed to become humans - and if it is they needed ability to talk - why did they just not have voice boxes as they are now - if it is because they wanted to walk upright - why?!
why did we even evolve into apes from the creatures we "were" before - if we originally were underwater creatures why was there earth and why did we leave the water, also why have we not stayed consistent in being able to do things that past "ancestors" were able to do - from apes to the first origin?!
views on this would be appreciated
Perhaps not the best point of reference to try to drag this thing back on topic, but there it is.
People, this is the "Human Origins" forum. The discussion should be about the biology of the human species.
