Did I evolve the desire to be a mechanic?
Improvision replied to Improvision's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
I never enjoyed those things. They were just stimulating and now I know that that was all I was looking for at the time. As time has gone by, I started to feel the desire for stimulation and material possesion was enslaving me. I don't know what I enjoy. Now is the time I start finding out. -

Going fast was fun, but being involved with my vehicles was what gave me real satisfaction. I don't care as much for it now. Video games triggered pleasure, but ever since I sold my 360 last year and started spending more time with myself, I find myself being less and less interested in building a gaming PC that I planned on doing. The things I thought I wanted are not making me happy and they don't have any real meaning to me. I don't know who I am. -
Why are our supposed ancestors extinct?
Improvision replied to Improvision's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
That CONCEPT is not hard to understand, but there is no proof that the hominids of the past or much of the other species went extinct from being killed before getting a chance to reproduce. Does it make sense to you that it is possible that I can climb on top of a house and pee off of the roof? Does the possibility mean that this actually happened in the past? It makes sense. That doesn't mean it is true. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged While in captivity, pups were being born with less and less instinctual aggression towards human beings while also having fur that was less and less able to blend in to their parents' native environment. That was a hell of a coincidence. I believe that mutations are not entirely random and evolution is more directed, then current theory suggests. Why would I not want to have sex with women I have no care for if I like having sex and I find the women attractive? Why do I have to ask questions? I could just wake up, live my life, and let my brain lead me. Why do I have this feeling that my body and my mind are separate from me? Who am "I"? Why do I feel detached from the material world around me? -

What is a reward? I was introduced to automobiles by my dad. I didn't get encouragement from anyone and I didn't want to follow in his footsteps. I just wanted to make engines and suspensions do what I wanted them to do, so that I could build automobiles that could kick some ass. This wasn't something that could increase my survival, so why would I want to do it? -

That isn't going to prevent the living from having sex. -

I didn't say it was "single source", now did I? I wanted to know what led to the ultimate extinction. No evidence shows a complete killing off. If they all weren't killed, then something else was involved that would keep them from reproducing. -

They could have, but we don't know that they did. Lions can kill hyenas, but they generally avoid each other. There is evidence that members have been killed, but no evidence that they all died from being "killed". -

We don't know anything about the conditions they were living in. I assume you mean one species is transit another species. I saw a tv program a while ago where foxes were being bred in captivity. Outside of their natural habitat, each successive generation of pups were less and less aggressive towards people and they started to have less of a camouflage pattern in their fur. It seemed as if somehow there was an inner consciousness in the animals that had become aware of the environment they were in and influenced the DNA and change in the physical and mental traits in their offspring. I see myself being aware of my thoughts and being able to control them. I choose what I want to think about and I choose hoow I am going to act. I was having sex a few years ago with women I didn't even care for. It felt dirty. I decided that I want to stop and find a real relationship. I have sexual urges, but they don't control me anymore and I feel better about it. I don't know exactly why, but I feel my existence in this world is not limited to what is physically attached to me (brain included). I feel that "I" am just attached to my physical existence. Just have to try and find out who I am. -

Nope... Evidence that can show what happened. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged It would make sense that a higher number of dying members of a species than the number of births would lead to the species becoming extinct. There has to be some reason as to why they are dying and are not reproducing.I have not seen the reasonable cause of this effect. -

Fewer skeletons is not evidence of more deaths, it is simply showing fewer of that species. Nothing is showing how the decline was occurring. ALL of them show evidence that they were "killed"? A crater is evidence of an impact. It does not show what has happened during and after the impact. -

That doesn't explain why they died out. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged How do you know what the death rate was? How do you know we killed the neanderthals? They haven't found evidence of a meteorite being responsible for the mass extinction of dinosaurs. -

That doesn't explain why a species would stop reproducing more of its own. There is no evidence explaining why cro-magnuns or neanderthals are gone. Nothing to explain why the dinosaurs are gone. -

How did they die?
