1. Okay I can appreciate the humour in the pokemon aspect of this thread - I'm not trying to ruin that. I was responding to yanamaster's post. 2. I don't believe some skulls found in the ground somewhere prove there is evolution. I believe partly in evolution like people have changed (eg. gotten taller, stand straighter, etc) but I do not believe we were once primitive apes. |
Skull one is a primitive hominds skull (or an ape as you call it), the other skulls show the progress of evolution from that first skull going in chronological order to which they are dated, ending up as homo-sapiens (us).
Besides how can you PARTLY believe in evolution? if you believe that environment exist where certain genetic traits allow the fittest to survive and passing on the traits to next generation then you have to believe that 5 million years ago us and apes have a primitive ancestor, 85 million years ago we all had a common mammal ancestor and so on. Because life has been standing up straighter, running faster etc... since the first single cell organism.
I think the example of the bacteria I gave prooves evolution beyond the means of simply standing up too, it was an evolution we witnessed. There was a better example in this months focus (British science journal) which explained how we analysed bacteria in some lemon juice, after 40,000 generations the bacteria had gone from being destroyed by the lemon juice to thriving on it and requiring it for nourishment. That is a complete evolution, far more than us even evolving from rodents some 80 million years ago.
I could go on like this all day but I have lectures and reports to do 
on a lighter note
