king thomas, as the professor everyone wants to talk
What Thomas is trying to say is that, over long spans time, hundreds or thousands of generations, these tiny genetic changes can and will add up to massive changes, sometimes changing the organism into something completely different.
I can't help being popular, don't hate me ;/
Active people with opposing views tend to be. Active people in general tend to be popular.
Fine I won't augue with you
I just popped in to say you are both wrong
in 33 generations you could have 8 billion people on the planet
No
if no one did any murdering/war, and there was no disease
Assuming nobody dies before having children.
taking those into account, it takes longer
And assuming none of these children die.
This is why I need a lecture hall
in roughly 660 years, given 2 people turns into 8 + billion
2 to the 33rd power
**Also remember that the population does NOT double each generation!**
and you have massive wars
~~Popped in to confirm both of you are fucking absurd, and reading this is an exercise in self-harm~~
and plague
8,589,934,592
The population does not double each generation, so your entire premise is wrong.
so if you can get that many people in 33 generations and presuming a 20 year per generation cycle
that is 660 years
@The18thDoctor kevin doesnt care
um, 18thdoctor, do you know how big families were in the early days
ummm do you know how many people died
even in 3rd world countries today they expect kids to die, so they have many children to offset that loss
Yeah, only one or two surviving children.
not always, sometimes there is more
and you arent taking into accout other forms of death
like plague, war, famine, etc
aviable food
anyhows, the point is that saying stuff about current birth rates and trying to project them into the past as if that was how they did things is patently false and obviously a fallacy
Kevin you haven't accounted for death rate, infertility, or anything at all other than birth. Your calculation is dumb as heck.

Sometimes. For the population to double, every single person needs to marry and have four children that all survive long enough to have kids.
your missing the point
Mind not insulting Kevin
which is what I was getting to
See this is why people shouldn't interrupt other people
