"Mental Illness" is the only explanation for this idiocy Give the godless crowd 15 minutes and they will be quoting this as fact.
Daily MaiL:
Humans may evolve bizarre features such as webbed feet
and eyes like cats in response to changing environments, a scientist
claims today.
Experts calculated how our physical appearance could change under a
number of scenarios, including a ‘water world’ if melting ice caps cause
rising sea levels.
They also considered what would happen in a second ice age which
could be triggered by an asteroid strike, and if humans colonised other
planets.
Dr Matthew Skinner, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Kent,
examined the three scenarios and worked with artist Quentin Devine to
help visualise how humans could look in the future.
Dr Skinner said some changes – such as webbed feet and hands becoming
widespread – could take place very quickly as some humans already have a
genetic mutation that produces webbing.
WTF reads 'the Daily Mail' ??? unless you're getting your anti-science climate denial, which in that case, you've quoted this tabloid numerous times.
ReplyDeleteI never quote the Daily Mail for my source on Alarmist Weather reporting.
DeleteSecondly, you do not think Dr. Skinner made these statements? You do not believe that as a qualified paleoanthropologist, he is not representative of the larger community ?? I am still laughing at this, and my side of the aisle are morons (?) LOL.
BTW ... I know your "side" is the anti-science side and the owner of jesus and morals, but it is interesting to note, that climate change was likely one of the driving forces of human evolution and brain size growth between 800,000 and 200,000 yrs ago. Of course, that's science and we all know you don't believe it. Science and reason isn't your wheelhouse, so to speak. Perhaps you think you know more than the scientists at the Smithsonian. http://humanorigins.si.edu/human-characteristics/brains
DeleteClimate change severe enough to influence the size of the human brain ???? And before the possibility of man-caused change. And, assuming the fossil record is that of actual human remains.
DeleteUnderstand that man as we know him, is less than 200,000 years old and civilizations less than 6,000 years old. Comparing a human like creature to modern, intelligent man with a sense of self awareness, self consciousness, having a social conscience and a moral code, leaves one open to the wildest of conjecture. In other words, it is just plain silly, and does not qualify as an intellectual stretch.
Climate has changed always will. What is different is the rate of change.
DeleteRegarding climate change on human evolution, specifically brain size... the science is out there, for those who can understand it and are curious.

What is really ironic is that the GOP puppet master David Koch funds the Smithsonian Hall of Human Origins, the Smithsonian - largest group of scientists dedicated to the study of natural history in the world. It just goes to show you, the people at the top - your puppet masters - are quite smart... and have no interest and certainly nothing to gain in YOU being smart as well. Stick to your guns, god and fear. They know how to push your buttons.
This will be the last time you associate me with Koch. I personally think the brothers are some of the greatest humanitarians in this country. And you have six big money socialists (Soros, Gates, Steyer among others) running the show, for the New Socialist Progressive party. Your big mnoney drivers are all anti- 1st, 2nd, and, 14th among others.
DeleteAll of your climate information comes from folks who are not allowed to say anything critical of the Marxist oriented global warming, earmongering crap . . . . . not allowed.
Your "front runner" (Hillary) is under investigation, and couldn't tell the truth if it were delivered to her doorstep in book form.
"Rate of change" as to Alarmist Weather Junk Science is a matter of tenth of degrees. NASA/EPA tells us that average climate numbers have risen .23 of a degree, Fahrenheit, in the last 50 freaking year. That is one fifth of one degree and most of the very small increment has occurred at night, increasing the growing season.

ReplyDeleteBut smithson remains a flat earther. Getting his 'science' from David Rose, Anthony Watts, the Heartland Inst., WND, CNS, etc... etc.... duped
Notes from the editor: I will not allow any comments from folks who cannot tell the truth as to my sources, who continues to lie about my motives, and has no appreciation for the beneficence of this county.
