Tbh I always suspected that but had difficulty securing funding to confirm my theories due to the BIASED and CLOSE-MINDED academic community and funding agencies.

It's clear that DOLPHINS at one time could WALK and are GRINNING at us with their obviously superior WISDOM.

It's true. They came back to Springfield, remember?

retired_gulkis

well, it's not humans, but i found it pretty amazing nonetheless to learn dolphins, whales etc. are thought to have evolved from these fellows

retired_susan mcdonald

Yeah i thought both us and dolphins evolved from similar things to what tim posted?

Can i just take this moment to say i ****ing LOVE dolphins.

I first read the subject line as that they lived in Atlanta.

Which makes sense, tbf, looking at AJ.

Hippos are stupid though.

retired_kswelker

Yes, I hate their mouths and have nightmares about my toilet seat becoming a hippo mouth while crapping.

I think this has been asked before. But what are humans going to evolve into? Or are we going to remain roughly the same?

I find it hard to apply the principle of evolution to contemporary humans. I think eventually we will just be more multi racial.

I don't think there will be a dominant trait for survival that gets stronger every generation. Apart from general things like being healthy, reasonably smart and emotionally stable.

Well, our brains are the part of us that is evolving most rapidly.

What you have to realise is that evolution won't take all humans the same. Different populations will take different directions.
I know some researchers think we'll tend towards one species of fit and intelligent beings and another of fat useless ones that are subordinate, but that's essentially sci-fi (which isn't to say it's not going to happen).

The biggest thing is that we'll have a major influence on our own evolutionary path, because of all the genetic manipulation we'll do in the latter part of this century.
