Tolmosoff Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Since we are the product of evolution ( Man from Apes ) and apes from ocean dwelling animals that crawled onto land to become what we are, Them why did evolution stop ?. We lived for thousands of years to record history of mankind and animal specie. Why did our ocean stopped producing new kinds of animals to this day ?. Is evolution just an imaginary joke played out by Darwin ?. I sure would like to see our oceans produce more Dinosaur animals. Also Apes evolve into man. Was Charles Darwin in his right mind or hir delusion a mith ?.
insane_alien Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 it hasn't stopped, it is just that evolutionary time scales greatly exceed the timescales of recorded history never mind the timescale where we have had detailed knowledge of species world wide. you cannot extrapolate from what is essentially one data point.
Sisyphus Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 New species have been observed. However, you're not going to see a lot in just a couple thousand years for large animals that take years to produce new generations, let alone the few decades or so we've been really paying attention. Microbes, however, evolve extremely fast, because they reproduce so quickly and in such huge numbers. That's why you need a new flu shot every year.

Phi for All Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Tolmosoff, you demonstrate an appalling lack of understanding of evolutionary timescales. I would suggest you study evolution a bit more before calling it a myth, and certainly before you go calling Darwin "out of his mind". The first thing you'll learn is that we're way past Darwin's early work on the theory. That's science for you. Edited July 14, 2009 by Phi for All clarification
GDG Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Since we are the product of evolution ( Man from Apes ) and apes from ocean dwelling animals that crawled onto land to become what we are, Them why did evolution stop ?. We lived for thousands of years to record history of mankind and animal specie.Why did our ocean stopped producing new kinds of animals to this day ?. What makes you think that evolution has stopped? It is not as if we conducted an exhaustive survey of all species in the ocean in 1909, and another today. In fact, it is probably not possible to perform such a survey, even today. If environmental conditions in the ocean have changed over the past 100,000 years, it is likely that new species evolved to move into those new niches. I sure would like to see our oceans produce more Dinosaur animals. Also Apes evolve into man.Was Charles Darwin in his right mind or hir delusion a mith ?. You are probably not going to see any dinosaur animals evolving from the ocean, as there are very efficient sharks already occupying that niche. Same for apes. Was Darwin in his right mind? Yes.
Deko Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Basically like the above posts have said its all to do with timescale. In a lifetime you wont see evolution without a microscope. Its not pokemon. However I have been a little vague on this like you are now and if you want to learn more about it you can pretty easily.
