When will humans grow wings?

With all the talk of how amazing evolution is I have yet to see a flying person.

Ok, so we have supposedly evolved by chance from the primordial soup - why have we stopped now though - how about a pair of wings or even a third arm?

Quite clearly evolution has stopped with the human being - the highest creature intended to exist on Earth.

I will believe in evolution over design/guidance when I see the first winged man.

Ever seen a person that can run as fast as a lion?
Ever seen a woman as strong as an ape?

Because of the lack of these abilities it is quite apparent that evolution is only a very small part of the whole event.

Why do we get ugly or stupid people?

surely these would have been evolved out a long time ago if Darwin was correct.

Why do we get diseases, cancer etc.. - these should also have been evolved out.

Human kind needs people to do the tedious jobs (ie: the stupid) and ugly people to keep up the social order - how does evolution know this?

because the Force guides it!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the OP seems to be short of enough watts to light a decent size dollhouse.

it may be anthropocentric but no other animal has evolved from a human.

Perhaps on another planet yes , but not here.

so it seems that the humans are the end of the production line - the finished product has been made to order.

You know there were geological periods in which mammals were not the pinnacle of creation.

In those ancient times when we had woolly mammoths the end of the line had not yet been reached - evolution had not finished it's work , it knew this so carried on making adaptions.

Adaption/Progress/Evolution is all the same thing. Basically terms used to describe the methodology of the guiding Divine Force of Nature.

Mammoth or humans are part of a long chain. not the start of it, nor the end of it. evolution by its very definition cannot finish its work. evolution is not focused on the future.

they are not the same thing at all. progress implies that evolution is making a progress to a destination. this is simply not the case. an essential part of evolution is adaptation to the environment, it doesn't have to be the 'betterment' of species. it focuses on what is needed for a certain environment, the same change may prove a liability in another set of circumstances or environment.

Ever wondered why both men and women were created?

Evolution could easily have evolved with some kind of asexual form of reproduction.

This would not do though - evolution realised that men, women and families were required to maintain order and function once societies grew big enough. The Love concept was devised to allow people to interact with each other in a positive way. This is why some religions place a heavy significance on marriage and bodily relations - love has been envisaged from way back when the DNA code was originally being ordained.

How did evolution know that men and women would interact in certain beneficial ways that would allow for the continuation of the species - not just in reproduction but with the whole social behaviour system?

Why not just have all men or all women and reproduce with eggs?

Because people would not love each other if this was the case and big societies could hence not form.

You will find that sexuality and asexuality exists in various forms than the male-female model we know with our species.

The next step for evolution will be when man discovers how to travel to other planets or to signal for aliens to come here and add to the gene pool.

Man is already trying to do that because he is able to be aware of his awareness - but DNA has reached it's limit here with humans. The next step requires an environment shift.

I'd have to disagree there.

It is clear that humans are the most evolved species and they control the planet.

Do you see dogs going to the supermarket for their latest human steaks?

again. if you want to capture evolution, you should look at long time scales. there were times on the planet that mammals were not dominate. in fact because they were lower on the chain, mammals were nocturnal during those days.
