@Riley i have a question for you , why we as humans we have only one shape i mean if the evolution was true there should be many shapes of human , for example there should be a humans with third hand from their neck ? So my point is why we have the monkeys and suddenly they transformed to humans?
Story from my biology teacher incoming...
So, once there were monkeys, they didn't have their hands free because they used them to walk. Once, there was a weird mistake. One of them could stand tall. That was a bit weird, but he was able to see further. This way, he could see dangers come from afar. It helped him to flee earlier, so he survived, unlike his siblings who couldn't stand. This 'mistake' also got kids, who could do the same. They grew out to humans, those who couldn't, were mostly killed by natural selection (this doesn't mean they're extinct, it only means there are more humans). Mistakes with a hand in the neck were also weird (if they existed), but they were no special survivors.
I mean aren’t their signs of humans with a whole fish tail @Citizen Z
I get what ur saying
@ChinaGirlNL (no offense) but this is a joke lol. Yet it didn't answer my question because we cant see the stages of human evolution . If we can see the monkey then we should see the following stages of the evolution but suddenly all of these stages are disappeared with no trace . Can you explain?
_~~Seems like I'm not the only one who doesn't recognise the tone of a joke? 😂~~_
Nobody would get it, but my biology teacher is a funny storyteller, because he's way too enthusiastic about his subject
Well .... i was shocked of the logic of ur teacher lmfao
@hamed473 "If we can see the monkey then we should see the following stages of the evolution but suddenly all of these stages are disappeared with no trace."
Can you clarify the first part and second part?
If evolution happened by a series of slow changes, we should see a continuum in the fossil record. but we don't.
we see distinct organisms. why would any one form of an organism persist longer than any other if there is constant evolution?
Forget "missing links". it's "missing continuum"
how would you show a continuum
by showing more and more missing links
"why would any one form of an organism persist longer than any other"
can you elaborate?
if animals are constantly and slowly evolving, we should see a continuum of these animals in the fossil record. we should see evidence of the gradual changes. why would we not? as soon as one small "mutation" gives an organism a competitive advantage, then we should find examples of that small change because they supposedly outcompeted the previous one. and for every subsequent small change.
but instead we find distinct animals and have to search for "missing links" . why would those distinct animals be in such abundance relative to the small changes that led up to them and took them to the next "advancement"?
doesn't make sense logically
there should not be links. there should be a continuum
How small does the difrence have to be to show a continioum
What would a continioum look like
if a small difference gave enough advantage to outcompete the previous one then we should see it
we should see the evidence of every single small step. why wouldn't we?
if it was an advantage then those animals would have thrived over the previous ones right?
because we don't have all fossils and not all lifeforms get fossilised
that's what defines it as an advantage as per "natural selection"
why would a small change impact how something gets fossilized??!?!
esp since we have completely different animals on either side that got fossilized
I didn't mention the small change being relevant to how.it gets fossilised
but if it's a gradual change over long periods of time then no one organism should exist in greater numbers than another
so statistically we should see the same in the fossil record
I don't understand what you are arguing
why do we find distinct organisms?
how distinct
turtles look like turtles
And?
why do we only find turtles and not all the modified turtles leading up to and past those turtles
Are you arguing that there should only be one living species at a time?
