Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Here's something to think about...... Are humans driving evolution in animals? - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-35462335 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cragman 2,798 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'd say so. Natures always trying to find ways of staying one step ahead of man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Truther 1,579 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Another good argument for population reduction, if we don't do it ourselves mother nature will do it for us eventually. Unfortunately the leaders of our society's are genetic f**k ups who want numbers to exploit, their thinking is now a polar opposite of how we evolved in cooperative/social groups. More people, more pressure on our planet and its resources.........Insane. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 21,069 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Going on the fact that animals evolve and change to there environment and the fact that we as a species are changing the environment then I'd be inclined to say yes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greg64 2,904 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 that could be true are ancient ancestors that hunted would have taken the weakest because it was easier, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ragumup Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Its the same for pheasant shooting by shooting the high birds leaving the low ones your only left with low flying birds to then breed off every year...(I know some game farmer buy in wild cocks and over winter hens to try to off set this but even so ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Francie 6,368 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Someone would need to define evoloution first, what does the writer mean by it, secondly mans genetically modifying food or animals will end in tears for us, as mick says, nature is smarter than people think 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 The fact that people need to ponder this and write articles about it. . . . . . makes me realise how dumb and unobservant people are. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,851 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Are we as humans unevolving? For the first time in the history of life we are encouraging the weak, thick, feckless,unhealthy, lazy to breed while the workers are having less kids. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trying hard to get another evo discussion going aren't you mate This topics about mans influence on our surroundings, observable changes in things around us, things that we made change. Scientific facts............Moths becoming darker after the pollution of the industrial revolution, the blackthorn being the ancestor of all plum trees, altered by man, dogs becoming different breeds because of man..............No Darwinism here, just facts 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for 'unnatural selection'. . . . how the feck is it 'unnatural', human beings are a part of nature, the natural world etc, and our influence / impact upon other creatures is part of a natural evolutionary cycle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
