Answers based on science for some reason make more sense than an ancient book full of stories.

No matter how much we learn one can always place "the god I choose to believe in" one step beyond that knowledge. 'tis an unfair fight, truly!

It's not that complex. We are a visual species. Thus, the individuals with higher visual acuity survived. Aural acuity not being as important was not a causal factor in survival, or not nearly as big of one, and thus the ability to pass on genetic material. It's not more complicated than that.

So degrading our hearing is evolution? Why did some useful traits degrade is pretty much the question evolutionist cannot answer; regardless how wordy their response. ![]() ![]()

Even more important was our intellectual ability to function as a cohesive and cooperative unit. This being the case aural acuity was not a selective factor in survival and thus passing on genetic material. Or, at the very least, not nearly as important a one. It pains me to see you struggle with this relatively simple concept.

You got to make it simple for me; because as you suggest, I am struggling with your answer. ![]() ![]()

Just like we lost the ability to see better under water. We don't have a sense of smell as good as some other animals either. Our brains are devoted to more things than just what our senses can tell us. ![]() Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.

It's probably been about 150 years since this was needed in my country; however, there are place in the world where man has to hunt and evade predators everyday.

I don't know which one you are talking about. But the general answer would be we all evolved. If it about the eyesight some groups have maintained an edge over others thanks to their evolutionary area being small. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982203002902 [/url] Quote:[url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/09609822] Much like other animals that are isolated develop unique evolutionary traits. Evolution is a process. Like making cheese. And you can get multiple kinds of cheese by altering the process or inputs slightly so you can get different human traits by altering the factors of human evolution also. ![]() Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.

I read an article (a very long time ago) that confirmed that men often have hearing loss in the same range as their wife speaks. I wouldn't bring this up as an excuse for failure to (insert menial chore here), for what it's worth. |
