Blame that bad back on your ancestors

[nopain]

I read that yesterday and it's a nice theory.

Not here to get involved in the God vs. Evolution debate but you would think that over the 1,000's of years that man has supposedly "Evolved" we would be super beings by now with select breeding filtering out all the "Weak" characteristics.

That is how evolution works right? The week get filtered out and die off and the species "Evolves"?

Let us not forget that the evolutionary process is never ending. When something works well, all is well, but when not, it is slowly improved upon. Man is a relatively new species and even now, changes can be seen such as with our toes. Man does not need 5 toes for grabbing or holding onto anything, but does need a flexible digit for stability and walking. Toes will however gradually meld into a single large digit, that is if we don't kill ourselves off first.

Our backs are a weakness and I've no doubt, this same process will eventually create something stronger. I recommend some type of cage which will both maintain disc height while keeping them in place but fully flexible - and impervious to harm. However, I don't think my vote counts

We'll also probably develop a 6th finger and no doubt increase our brain's usage. I assume we'll one day be referred to as the dark ages!

On a separate note - both the ancient Myan and Chinese calanders indendently stop on December 21, 2012 so maybe it's something we won't have to worry about at all. By coincidence, astronimically speaking, a rare alignment will occur on that date.

There is yet another theory that fits well into Dr. Filler's conclusions - that man is not indiginous to the earth and did not evolve with other primates or from other bipedal ancestors.

I just love this stuff!
