Recent fossil should confirm evolution?

[беспокойный путешественни]

Yes, evolution is essentially a matter of genetic divergence.

I dont think any of that is evolution.

 

[беспокойный путешественни]

So what is evolution for you?

 

[Audie]

Yes, evolution is essentially a matter of genetic divergence.

Thats an unfamiliar definition.
Prease exprain.

 

[Audie]

So what is evolution for you?

Wrong question.
Its not " what it is to me". The process is
defined well enough.

I just find the examples given to be
dubious re rigor and data, for one, for
another, they dont look to meet any definition.

Pick one, show me how it does.
Bone density, say.

Increasing genetic diversity is evolution?

It shows we are changing over time, evolution is change over time

 

[Twilight Hue]

So recent human fossil remains should confirm evolution, for example fossils from ancient Egyptians or any fossils found from say a few hundred to a few thousand years ago should have evolved enough from present day humans that the differences can be measured?

Your own genome confirms evolution. What you might mean I'm guessing is the transitional fossil.

" change" is a bit vague.

Do you mean trending changes in allele frequency?

 

[Twilight Hue]

Since our species appeared, our bodies, brains, teeth, and stature have gotten smaller.

How have we changed since our species first appeared?

Physical and genetic changes have occurred within our species and will continue to occur at a basic level as new genes evolve. However, these changes may not be as dramatic as they were in the past as the situation today does not favour the evolution of a new human species.

That's because we will one day , perhaps, all of humanity will turn into crabs.

Why do animals keep evolving into crabs?

Crabby bodies are so evolutionarily favorable, they've evolved at least five different times. So why does this process, known as carcinization, keep happening?

Change is not a bit vague bit precisely what happens at the genetic level of each person born

That aint evolution.

Yes it is
What is evolution?
The general sense of change over time.

I dont believe a scattering of mutations
such as in every organism born / hatched /
sprouted constitutes evolution.

That requires selection.

Of course selection is involved, the beneficial changes are selected for,

Increasing genetic diversity is evolution?

Evolution is the change of allele frequencies in a population over time.

I have more a look of my father. Mom is only 5ft 3 with dark hair and is slightly plump.

No need to hide though.

Of course.

"Only" 5 ft three inches?? Only?
