@@maartenvandam344 Descartes actually didn't believe these hypotheses, he only brought them up as plausible but 'disproves' them later on. He (naively) believed that due to a just god all of that wouldn't be of any concern because he would have been created in a way that wasn't deceiving him. His writings get weirdly theological moving along. For example he wrote that he would like to brush physical reality aside so that he could finally see the divinity moving everything behind that. I didn't finish it and don't intend to but I don't know if it gets more unhinged. Or was this a mistranslation of the Cogito? If so, yeah he obviously believed that

If you haven’t figured it out by now I’ll explain. We did not come from monkeys (common misconception) but rather we have a common ancestor. Think of it like this: there was a different species let’s call pre-monkey (not human or monkey). Then these pre-monkeys split and evolved in two different paths, one path becoming humans the other becoming monkeys and now there are no more pre-monkeys. Hope that helps feel free to ask any questions!

@nmgactor87528 ай бұрын
@@panchopistola8298 we actually are! There are a few small mutations seen throughout our population that is different compared to people during history. One example of this is our mouths. Human mouths have gotten much smaller over timer (which leads to crowding and the removal of wisdom teeth) because we have adapted to have bigger brains rather than bigger mouths. Yet there are two main reasons we aren’t adapting like you might expect. Reason 1) our medical systems kind of slow this down. Survival of the fittest means if someone is not fit in their environment and they die earlier they cannot pass their genes on. Yet our medical system allows these people to live longer and pass on their genetic information so things aren’t disappearing or changing as much. Yet the second and biggest, more real reason is time. Modern humans have existed for around 300,000 years. Which may seem like a long time yet is minuscule compared to the 14 billion years ears is. Evolution takes a longggg time, millions and millions of years. Modern humans simply haven’t existed long enough for us to adapt. However, we are and will still adapt. Millions of years from now humans may look very different to how we are today. Let’s look at another example. In the late 1700s the average male height was 5’6”, today that is 5’9”. Why have we grown taller? Perhaps one of the biggest reasons is because women find it more attractive, and therefore these taller people pass on their genetic information more frequently. It is very possible that in the future average male height may be even taller! One last point I’d like to make is the lack of stressors in our environment. Humans control how and where we live so much our environment poses very little threat to ourselves compared to wild animals. If some sort of drastic change were to happen that posed deadly threats humans would evolve to fit that environment. For example, the average temperature on earth has been increasing due to global warming. If things eventually become too hot for humans, we will most likely evolve to have an average body temperature that is different from it is now in order to survive. Long story short, we are still adapting and there are things we can see of it. The reason there is no big changed is it hasn’t been nearly enough time. And given the millions of years needed we most likely will have “evolved” and look very different. And the environment doesn’t really require us to evolve because how in control we are. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! I doubt anything here will change your mind at all but learning about opposing views in civil conversation from a place of curiosity and learning is always a great thing. So yes feel free to ask!

In short: there have been multiple human species (homo habilens, homo neanderthalensis, etc) over the last few million years. The current human species had a genetic bottleneck not too long ago geologically speaking, so every human today is much more related than to most previous species. And there are mutations that are arising like not being born with an appendix, jaws getting weaker, short-sighted eyes being more common, etc, just not things that are as visible for the most part. Some people even think that autism is getting more common in some societies because it's beneficial for certain critical jobs.
