Seven Million Years of Human Evolution

No, I think it’s a basic concept for everyone to understand. For instance, I believe in evolution and understand, at a basic level, how it works. That being said, I also believe and worship God as I am catholic. While I understand both beliefs sort of contradict each other, I do both. I believe in evolution to expand my knowledge and God to expand my faith. It’s not that I don’t understand evolution, just that I’m also religious.

This was far and away the best presentation of the evolution of man I've seen. All the other charts have been so complicated, and this one was clear and concise.

[@Mdebacle]

If you look at the evolutionary chart shown in the final minute, the ancestry of every species is simply a line going back to another line. Nothing is the ancestor of anything.

[@michaeldeierhoi4096]

@@Mdebacle Lack of evidence does not mean a lack of connection. Like the narrative stated at the beginning the human ancestral tree is very sparce because hominid fossils are rare. However it is clear that we descended from the Homo genus. It will probably take some time before the direct ancestor to Homo sapiens is discovered. Even today it sometimes hard to locate who a close ancestor was for a variety of different reasons. Now inagine trying to find ancestors to various members of the hominid family going hundreds of thousands to millions of years. Many times more difficult!

The second law of thermodynamics states the universal increase in entropy for a system within an irreversible process (i.e. nearly all processes in nature) ALWAYS. You cannot observe an irreversible process without an increase of entropy. But what is entropy? To say it in some other words. A system always increases in complexity and therefore out of statistical necessity in chaos and badness within an irreversible process. This is universally true and in all nature we see things becoming more chaotic everywhere. On earth and in the sky. Science cannot explain how a universe and stable but horrificly complex system like earth-sun-anotherBillionFaktors is. How should a universe gain in complexity and improve its status out of coincidence. Nearly all processes in nature (irreversible ones observed by humankind) lead to a decrease in stability and order. Why is everything still working though? IT is not merely a general tendency as some professors in university like to say but a law of physics. No irreversible process can be observed containing an increase in complexity AND ORDER therefor an improvement.

Because it sounds like you are pulling it out of where the sun doesn't shine. Did you even watch this video that showed all the "transitional" forms that Hominids took and that we as Homo Sapiens even bred with other Hominids such as Homo Neanderthalis, Erectus, and Habilis close relatives of Homo Sapiens that went extinct. Not only because Homo Sapiens had superior intelligence and spread out more, but because we bred them out as well. I am not a fan of religion, especially organized religion. But even most of them do not buy this creationism BS. Only the take the bible literally cult worshippers seem to try and twist facts or just plain make up things and claim the miracle of God working in mysterious ways we cannot understand argument. Well, I do not care what your fictional book says. Fossil evidence does not just abruptly appear. Fossils have been studied for a long time. In fact, scientists have been studying fossils for centuries (not abruptly). The ancient Greek philosopher Xenophanes found fossilized shells on dry land and concluded that the area had once been a seabed. Born in 570 BC that is well before Christianity and your fictional book. Since then, paleontologists such as Mary Anning have continued to flesh out our understanding of the diversity of ancient life forms. Fossils provide snapshots of the past which, when assembled, illustrate a panorama of evolutionary change over the past 3.5 billion years (Again not abruptly). Today, paleontologists continue to learn from fossils - and not just about the anatomy of the organisms preserved. While in the U.S. only about 60% of the population believe in evolution. While 33% are people like you living in a cult of ignorance because you want to believe a book of fiction. I bet you like to visit that monstrosity of a theme park Ark that has Dinosaurs in the Ark living with humans. That percentage is layman's. A majority of most major religious groups say scientists generally agree that humans have evolved, including 78% of the unaffiliated, 69% of mainline Protestants, and 65% of Catholics. 97% of SCIENTISTS believe in evolution. That is because when you get an education you do not need to believe in a fictional book to try and explain nature, even if you are a part of that religion. Science must be hard for you Joshua.

The second law of thermodynamics states the universal increase in entropy for a system within an irreversible process (i.e. nearly all processes in nature) ALWAYS. You cannot observe an irreversible process without an increase of entropy. But what is entropy? To say it in some other words. A system always increases in complexity and therefore out of statistical necessity in chaos and badness within an irreversible process. This is universally true and in all nature we see things becoming more chaotic everywhere. On earth and in the sky. Science cannot explain how a universe and stable but horrificly complex system like earth-sun-anotherBillionFaktors is. How should a universe gain in complexity and improve its status out of coincidence. Nearly all processes in nature (irreversible ones observed by humankind) lead to a decrease in stability and order. Why is everything still working though? IT is not merely a general tendency as some professors in university like to say but a law of physics. No irreversible process can be observed containing an increase in complexity AND ORDER therefor an improvement.

You are correct every human alive today has some Neanderthal DNA anywhere from 1% to around 8 or 9% African people have the least amount especially the one that descended from Africans who never left Africa because the majority of modern Africans are descended from humans who left Africa and then returned later on and if I'm not mistaken it's Europeans that have the most

(So don't quote me on that). That being said there's been at least two population bottlenecks in our past where we almost went extinct but we are a very resilient species and came back where most would not have. As a result of that we have some of the least diverse DNA of any species at worst we're all cousins. You a person living in sub-Saharan Africa an Eskimo a North Korean and someone from Sweden are more alike than those two birds sitting side-by-side on the tree branch in your front yard. We're by far more alike than we are different there's just one race human race and I wish everybody could see that. If we homogenized the population of the entire planet and everybody looks like clones of one another all sounded and acted alike we would just fabricate another reason to hate.

[@MEHAZ]

Introduction O man! You should be aware that there are certain phrases which are commonly used and imply unbelief. The believers also use them, but without realizing their implications. We shall explain three of the most important of them. The First: "Causes create this." The Second: "It forms itself; it comes into existence and later ceases to exist." The Third: "It is natural; Nature necessitates and creates it." Indeed, since beings exist and this cannot be denied, and since each being comes into existence in a wise and artistic fashion, and since each is not outside time but is being continuously renewed, then, O falsifier of the truth, you are bound to say either that the causes in the world create beings, for example, this animal; that is to say, it comes into existence through the coming together of causes, or that it forms itself, or that its coming into existence is a requirement and necessary effect of Nature, or that it is created through the power of One All-Powerful and All-Glorious. Since reason can find no way apart from these four, if the first three are definitely proved to be impossible, invalid and absurd, the way of Divine Unity, which is the fourth way, will necessarily and self-evidently and without doubt or suspicion, be proved true. THE FIRST WAY This to imagine that the formation and existence of things, creatures, occurs through the coming together of the causes in the universe. We shall mention only three of its numerous impossibilities. First Impossibility Imagine there is a pharmacy in which there are hundreds of jars and phials filled with quite different substances. A living potion and a living remedy are required from those medicaments. So we go to the pharmacy and see that they are to be found there in abundance, yet in great variety. We examine each of the potions and see that the ingredients have been taken in varying but precise amounts from each of the jars and phials, one ounce from this, three from that, seven from the next, and so on. If one ounce too much or too little had been taken, the potion would not have been living and would not have displayed its special quality. Next, we study the living remedy. Again, the ingredients have been taken from the jars in a particular measure so that if even the most minute amount too much or too little had been taken, the remedy would have lost its special property. Now, although the jars number more than fifty, the ingredients have been taken from each according to measures and amounts that are all different. Is it in any way possible or probable that the phials and jars should have been knocked over by a strange coincidence or sudden gust of wind and that only the precise, though different, amounts that had been taken from each of them should have been spilt, and then arranged themselves and come together to form the remedy? Is there anything more superstitious, impossible and absurd than this? If an ass could speak, it would say: "I cannot accept this idea!", and would gallop off! Similarly, each living being may be likened to the living potion in the comparison, and each plant to a living remedy. For they are composed of matter that has been taken in most precise measure from truly numerous and truly various substances. If these are attributed to causes and the elements and it is claimed, "Causes created these," it is unreasonable, impossible and absurd a hundred times over, just as it was to claim that the potion in the pharmacy came into existence through the phials being knocked over; by accident. In Short: The vital substances in this vast pharmacy of the universe, which are measured on the scales of Divine Determining and Decree of the All-Wise and Pre-Eternal One, can only come into existence through a boundless wisdom, infinite knowledge and all-encompassing will. The unfortunate person who declares that they are the work of blind, deaf and innumerable elements and causes and natures, which stream like floods; and the foolish, delirious person who claims that that wondrous remedy poured itself out when the phials were knocked over and formed itself, are certainly unreasonable and nonsensical. Indeed, such denial and unbelief is a senseless absurdity. THE SECOND WAY This is expressed by the phrase "It forms itself." It too involves many impossibilities and is absurd and impossible in many aspects. We shall explain three examples of these impossibilities. First Impossibility O you obstinate denier! Your egotism has made you so stupid that somehow you decide to accept a hundred impossibilities all at once. For you yourself are a being and not some simple substance that is inanimate and unchanging. You are like an extremely well-ordered machine that is constantly being renewed and a wonderful palace that is undergoing continuous change. Particles are working unceasingly in your body. Your body has a connection and mutual relations with the universe, in particular with regard to sustenance and the perpetuation of the species, and the particles that work within it are careful not to spoil that relationship nor to break the connection. In this cautious manner they set about their work, as though taking the whole universe into account. Seeing your relationships within it, they take up their positions accordingly. And you benefit with your external and inner senses in accordance with the wonderful positions that they take. If you do not accept that the particles in your body are tiny officials in motion in accordance with the law of the Pre-Eternal and All-Powerful One, or that they are an army, or the nibs of the pen of Divine Determining, with each particle as the nib of a pen, or that they are points inscribed by the pen of Power with each particle being a point, then in every particle working in your eye there would have to be an eye such as could see every limb and part of your body as well as the entire universe, with which you are connected. In addition to this, you would have to ascribe to each particle an intelligence equivalent to that of a hundred geniuses, sufficient to know and recognize all your past and your future, and your forbears and descendants, the origins of all the elements of your being, and the sources of all your sustenance. To attribute the knowledge and consciousness of a thousand Plato's to a single particle of one such as you who does not possess even a particle's worth of intelligence in matters of this kind is a crazy superstition a thousand times over! THE THIRD WAY "Nature necessitates it; Nature makes it." This statement contains many impossibilities. We shall mention three of them by way of examples. First Impossibility If the art and creativity, which are discerning and wise, to be seen in beings and particularly in animate beings are not attributed to the pen of Divine Determining and Power of the Pre-Eternal Sun, and instead are attributed to Nature and force, which are blind, deaf and unthinking, it becomes necessary that Nature either should have present in everything machines and printing-presses for their creation, or should include in everything power and wisdom enough to create and administer the universe. The reason for this is as follows: The sun's manifestations and reflections appear in all small fragments of glass and droplets on the face of the earth. If those miniature, reflected imaginary suns are not ascribed to the sun in the sky, it is necessary to accept the external existence of an actual sun in every tiny fragment of glass smaller than a match-head, which possesses the sun's qualities and which, though small in size, bears profound meaning; and therefore to accept actual suns to the number of pieces of glass. In exactly the same way, if beings and animate creatures are not attributed directly to the manifestation of the Pre-Eternal Sun's Names, it becomes neciessary to accept that in each being, and especially animate beings, there lies a nature, a force, or quite simply a god that will sustain an infinite power and will, and knowledge and wisdom. Such an idea is the most absurd and superstitious of all the impossibilities in the universe. It demonstrates that a man who attributes the art of the Creator of the universe to imaginary, insignificant, unconscious Nature is without a doubt less conscious of the truth than an animal.

great video, I'd have liked to see chimp evolution alongside it as I think that would be interesting, I mean did Chimpanzees really start out from the same place and stay the same for 5million+ years or were they evolving and adapting up to the point that they are at now? I think this is also relevant because many people think we evolved FROM Chimps and ascribe their characteristics to us, whereas isn't it truer to say we share a common ancestor which would be the last point at which we truly shared characteristics?

[@mizuka6501]

Great point. The reason you do not see chimp evolution here (or anywhere else really) is that the ancestors and relatives of chimpanzees tended to live in deep forest-where fossilization is nearly impossible. Thus we simply don't have enough fossils to study and learn about chimpanzees evolution. To your next point: No, chimpanzees have not remained the same. They have changed from our last ancestor (7 Mya) just about as much as we have. But we notice the change in ourselves more because we have far more fossils from our lineage to study and compare. I am a PhD student in evolutionary biology and your comment intrigued me so I wanted to throw in my two cents :D

[@randomdude2540]

@@mizuka6501 We also have this strange tendency where we care about our own species, a lot. Some might even say more than the chimps...

[@DrVonRhein]

"They have changed from our last ancestor (7 Mya) just about as much as we have." Certainly, chimpanzees have changed during that time, but I think they haven't changed as much as we have in the human lineage. It seems quite obvious, that the common ancestor, although not a chimpanzee, would have looked more similar to a chimpanzee than to a human or to other members of the genus Homo or even australopithecines. Still, I think it would be very interesting to see and count all the differences between the common ancestor (of humans and chimps) and the modern chimpanzee - but sadly, such a thorough comparison is impossible without a time machine...

[@Marzipman]

did read a couple of articles that said in fact Chimps have gone through more positive evolutionary change than humans, partly because there were more of them over that period of time. Also, one claim that the common ancestor was more like us - bipedal, than chimps, though I didn't really understand the scientist's point on that one as to whether our last common ancestor was a bipedal forager who then split and one branch went back to the trees and one continued into the grasslands and swamps, or whether the split was at the point before bipedalism. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts, I'd never realised there were so many gaps in the primate fossil record, guess I just presumed a hell of a lot of stuff which is actually uncharted territory!

[@robharwood3538]

[late reply, but anyways ... 😊] "did Chimpanzees ... stay the same for 5million+ years or were they evolving and adapting up to the point that they are at now?" The latter. Our common ancestor was less specialized than either modern chimps on the one branch, or H. sapiens on the other. In fact, if you look at the earliest depictions of our ancestors in the video, you may notice that they do not fully resemble modern chimps. As an example, modern chimps can walk bipedally for short durations but they tire very quickly because they are more adapted for tree climbing and knuckle walking. It's likely that our common ancestor was less specialized than that and may have found walking bipedally less difficult and tiring than modern chimps do.
