Transnationalism is cancer for the same reason monopoly is cancer. You need both speciation and selection.

2019-02-06 19:09:57 UTC  

Man my grammar today...

2019-02-06 19:10:15 UTC  

I'm actually studying darwin in the anthropology class I had mentioned. Interesting stuff

2019-02-06 19:10:55 UTC  

I mean the class it's self is totally pozzed but I like the darwin part haha

2019-02-06 19:12:01 UTC  

Human governance should be designed as an ecology. Design for competition and evolution.

2019-02-06 19:12:41 UTC  

Our downfall has been either eliminating speciation (tyranny) or selection (anarchy).

2019-02-06 19:12:48 UTC  

Can anyone red bar me on how evolution works in the sense that a species can evolve into having more or less chromosomes than the previous generation and still be able to procreate? I think I looked it up before but I wasnt satisfied with the answer.

2019-02-06 19:13:37 UTC  

Look up hybrid fertility. There's mechanisms to detect genetic distance

2019-02-06 19:14:40 UTC  

You can actually see early signs of hybrid infertility in inter racial couples.

2019-02-06 19:14:57 UTC  

Interesting

2019-02-06 19:15:08 UTC  

Hopped on YouTube to catch the tail end of the SotU, because I fell asleep last night, and got these search results:

2019-02-06 19:15:36 UTC  

Check out "Developing News"...

2019-02-06 19:16:14 UTC  

There's pre fertilization compatibility detection where if certain genes don't get expressed in the new dna then the embryo is terminated.

2019-02-06 19:17:06 UTC  

I should say zygote

2019-02-06 19:17:56 UTC  

But can we observe or is there any proof that evolution is occurring. I dont doubt evolution or adaptation exists, I'm just wondering how it can happen. Like if us and chimps have a common ancestor, Why do we have different amounts of chromosomes?

2019-02-06 19:18:38 UTC  

This results in probablistically lower fertility as genetic distance increases. You can observe this in extreme cases of human interacial couples.

2019-02-06 19:19:14 UTC  

Evolution has been observed in bacteria with fast enough reproductive cycle

2019-02-06 19:19:51 UTC  

Did the bacteria turn into non bacteria?

2019-02-06 19:19:57 UTC  

We have different numbers of chromosome, because two ancient ape chromosomes fused to result in human chromosome 2.

2019-02-06 19:20:06 UTC  

Why did SCOTUS not have any reactions to the SOTU? Are they not allowed to?

2019-02-06 19:20:12 UTC  

No but their genetic material increases.

2019-02-06 19:20:51 UTC  

@Chris N. - CA where did those two apes get their chromosomes from? Was there just that much diversity eons ago?

2019-02-06 19:20:56 UTC  

Humans can survive doubling certain chromosomes. For example two Y chromosomes confer some benfits.

2019-02-06 19:21:30 UTC  

Theoretically you couple double the Y chromosome and then have one of them evolve new traits.

2019-02-06 19:21:57 UTC  

This is so out of my realm of knowledge. Fascinating.

2019-02-06 19:22:53 UTC  

Triple X or double Y chromosome people are fascinating study in gender traits. Many double Y end up in prison.

2019-02-06 19:23:46 UTC  

They're hyper aggressive

2019-02-06 19:24:10 UTC  

In another world they might be super men though.

2019-02-06 19:24:36 UTC  

You would think with the massive amount of people we have on the globe, more mutations would be occuring.

2019-02-06 19:24:51 UTC  

Iā€™m at the gym and on one of the TVs it says: Breaking news: Warren listed race as American Indian for Texas bar. šŸ˜‚

2019-02-06 19:25:15 UTC  

Well they are. Look up occipedal lobe.

2019-02-06 19:25:28 UTC  

I guess we're so artificially dysgenic now, it would be hard to tell if it was beneficial or not.

2019-02-06 19:26:30 UTC  

Autism appears to be linked to a recent genetic trait

2019-02-06 19:27:24 UTC  

@Bogl - CA There has been diversity throughout the span of life on Earth. 99.9% of all species that have ever existed are extinct. To my knowledge, genomes used to be in single circular forms, but they eventually developed into the multiple linear chromosomes we see today. So technically, chimps got their chromosomes from all the way back to their eukaryotic ancestors.

2019-02-06 19:27:52 UTC  

Also, mutations do occur. Look at eye color, for example. Blue eyes are a mutation.

2019-02-06 19:28:09 UTC  

Red hair

2019-02-06 19:28:36 UTC  

Fascinating one because it effects nerve function too

2019-02-06 19:29:00 UTC  

@Perihelion - CA a trait that is more susceptible to brain damage from environmental factors, or has a lower threshold for poisons?

2019-02-06 19:30:07 UTC  

I'm not sure just that they've linked it to presence of a certain gene

2019-02-06 19:30:47 UTC  

Not 100% but it's not actually a single phenomenon

2019-02-06 19:32:01 UTC  

We can see rapid mutation and natural selection of those mutations due to issues like pollution, but mutations tend to be due to a variety of variables.
