Chimpanzees "More Evolved" Than Humans

[G-spotter]

Chimpanzees have evolved more than humans have since the species diverged

 

Kevbone is the pinnacle of evolution!

[i_like_sun]

Maybe Chimps do have it figured out more than we stupid humans.....

 

C'mon, all they worry about is swinging in branches, eating, sleeping, loving each other and sex.

 

We sit in our brains going "Oh My God.......gay marriage.......lets bomb some shit...."

[G-spotter]

That's Bonobos you are thinking about.

 

Chimps are aggro.

[Dechristo]

Chimps haven't evolved near as much as humans.

 

They hain't got no aromatherapy or espresso.

They also hain't go no Jesus. Praise

 

 

 

[Dechristo]

JEEEEZZUSSSSS!

 

...I forgot about de jesus

 

[underworld]

more evolution doesn't mean more advanced... maybe we just took a shortcut and stopped cuz we figured it all out.

 

 

i'd guess living in the wild forces some more evolution than living in a 3000ft^2 house w/ a wide screen and a latte

[Dechristo]

not more, just different

[Seahawks]

This whole subject belongs on the trolling topics thread.

[underworld]

you're speculating that it is a troll

[AlpineK]

He'll take things more seriously when the monkeys start giving him orders if they don't already.

that's a speculation of a speculation. Let see the title was "Chimpanzees "More Evolved" Than Humans" = Troll

Beware the claims of 'systems biology' like the ones being made here--numbers alone mean nothing, and these numbers are quite close to begin with. Especially in a field like this one, mindless wonder for scientific claims far outpaces statistical rigor. The news is reporting this before the primary research has even been printed.

WTF does that matter? Monkeys can't read.

Yeah, don't know if the title claim is warranted. Consider, for example, the genetic mutation for lactose digestion (really, shouldn't cow milk be only for calves?).

 

Lactose tolerance in East Africa points to a surprisingly recent moment in human evolution

kevbone has seemed to prove you wrong there

[Dechristo]

...after a fashion

[Stonehead]

Kevbone is a CASE unto himself.

[Dechristo]

missing link?

[Stonehead]

Link to what?

[Dechristo]

you hope

Snip from article:

Scientists generally believed that traits like higher cognitive skills were due to bursts of adaptive evolution, in which key genes accumulated beneficial mutations that contributed to the evolution of the human species.

 

I think some people get confused here when they consider 'adaptive evolution' to be Lamarkian evolution, e.g., the elementary school idea of how the giraffe got it's long neck. That latter idea is not how natural selection and consequently evolution works.

 

Now...SEXUAL SELECTION, that works.

...and Kevbone has reported to procreate = de-evolution
