EvOluTion - MoNkEy BuSinEss

Watching the original Planet of the Apes 1968 version ( not the shit remake) has got me thinking!

In the 150 years since Charles Darwin popularised the idea of evolution, fossil hunters have identified between a dozen and 20 species of hominid, which have been grouped into five families.The journey from the last common ancestor of chimps and humans resembles a voyage through a maze, full of paths that look promising but turn out to be dead-ends, or paths that separate only to perhaps merge again later. The dozen or so known hominids are scattered throughout the maze.

So what's the story so far? A common ancestor of chimps, gorillas and humans probably lived eight or nine million years ago. Gorillas went their own separate way, followed by chimps - mankind's closest living relatives. The split with chimps used to be thought to have taken place about five million years ago, new findings may push this back to six million years ago.

"Early hominid evolution was very complex. Nature was conducting experiments in how to be human. All but one 'failed' and that one gave rise to later humans."

So basically there was cross breeding going on for a few million years before we evolved to be humans!!MMMM? It always freaks me out when you go to a zoo etc...and watch the chimps with their tiny 'human' like hands playing with food. I think, 'fook I used to be a chimp', albeit a few million years ago. ;-D
A chimps life seems ok, swing around in the trees, eat some food, shag, throw shit at passers by!!! Where did the human race go wrong? Why have we made life so complicated?

You have got to ask yourself sometimes 'where is the human race going?'

Will evolution reverse in the future so we become chimps again? Would the country be better run by chimps? Has the human race evolved as much as it can and what are we going to evolve into in the future? What if there was a nuclear war and the human race was wiped out, how would evolution occur again and what would be the results? Somewhere in the Universe there has to be something better than man?Was evolution a success when you look at the state of the world and the human race?

The only conclusion I can reach, is that something drastic needs to happen/change soon or we are heading for some sort of endgame!

Laugh now but one day we'll be in charge!!!! Mwah mwah :-D
