This swine flu business is really starting to effect the health service near when i live. They are understaffed and can't cope. I called the Doctor's office the other day and all I heard was crackin' down the line.
*Sigh.*
I'm anti-gun, but then I have no reason to own a gun and certainly don't want my neighbors to own them! I'll fall asleep with my window open tonight, I like it that way.
Primitive forms of eugenics existed long before Darwin presented his theory in 1859. The Spartans famously selected only the strongest and healthiest babies, killing the "puny" ones and throwing them into a chasm on Mount Taygetus. Furthermore, natural selection is not at all what eugenics...
I'm from the UK so it may be different over here, but here goes:
In high school we had sex education lessons where we were told about condoms and other forms of protection. We had separate lessons on STD's and talked a lot about how they are transmitted etc. It was all very focussed on...
Then you are simply wrong. There is no accident involved with natural selection. The only random aspect is the mutation. Once the mutation occurs a logical process kicks in.
For example:
You are a male bird of paradise. Females of your species select males for mating based on the...
The employer represents natural selection. A conscious being isn't doing the selection in reality. The whole point of an analogy is that it is representative and explanatory. The boss is natural selection, sorting the wheat from the chaff. The workers are genes effecting the turn over of the...
So essentially, you cannot be bothered searching truth so you settle for the most convenient explanation? I'm sorry but I find that immensely frustrating. Also, you must have been studying the wrong books if you find no reason in science. Give me an example of an area of science which raises...
The more the better I reckon!
Remember though, chimpanzees (and I assume bonobos too) have opposable thumbs on all four hands, as do orangs. Also the old world monkeys such a colobus and piliocolobus.
I guess that's the most reasonable explanation. I mean we do still have the potential to be large (body builders can become huge!), it's just that our everyday lives don't cause us to develop muscles like our cousins do...
Yikes!
My dad's a nuclear physicist, I'm sure he will be able to sort you out. He's in Saudi Arabia at the moment though so I'll ask him when he gets back and see if he can clear this up for you.

I don't understand how this determines smartness, either you have encountered the facts or you havn't!
27 anyways, even though I know very little about American presidents etc.
