humans are animals like any other. anything we do is natural

Natural selection did not select for overly bulky hominids, but short, fast, and intelligent ones. It was the puny homo sapiens who caused the extinction of the big muscular Neanderthals after all.

That is what we are built for anyway as we evolved on the savanna.

you have to realize we also made it through an iceage as cavemen. Do you think in our present state we could manage that again?.


My argument is simple. We depend and rely on our devices for survival rather than our natural form. As we rely on these devices through time our physical form is atrophying due to non usage. We are essentially becoming weaker as we "develop" the environment to suit us.

And in the long run i am predicting that this could be detrimental to our species if the day comes where we lack those devices.

Yes, if it really came down to it. Most people would probably die without modern technology, but the strongest and most resourceful would survive, just as our ancestors did tens of thousands of years ago.

there you go. Hit the nail on the head. Do you really think the strongest is as strong as the strongest from 10,000 years ago? I realize that the genetic aspect and diversity hasnt drifted very far off I would be more concerned about the conditioning.

I would hope we could pull through.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I actually predict that the unsustainable human population growth will eventually result in the ecosystem forcefully rebalancing itself, with either a mass famine or some sort of plague drastically culling the Earth's population. The affluent will survive and eventually humanity will have been reduced to a more manageable size with a generally higher standard of living. Our impact on the climate and the environment will be much smaller, and after an incredible tragedy of human suffering, things might actually be much better.

Hmmm, I came to this conclusion a while ago to. However, there might instead be an uprising of the dreaded proletariat, the affluent people all get killed and the world inherited by people who wear Burberry and fake gold chains.
