Evolution- Biology- Rate of Change

[Harry Guerrilla]

Right, but evolution does not work on that scale anyway. Evolution is kinda irrelevant in terms of 1 generation.

I think what anewhope is saying is that our technology will advance faster than our ability to cope with it, eventually leading us to our own destruction.

Nano tech is one of those things, that is more frightening, than any other in that regard.
Think of nano bugs in "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with Keanu Reeves.

Be prepared to feel exceedingly dumb on that forum.

This would be different how?

Yes, my point is though that anything that is a threat on that level is outside the boundary of evolution.

Oh yea definitely.
I don't know about you but sometimes I feel like a Luddite when it comes to technology.

Slow it down some.

Awww. That made me sad inside.

I felt like I was the guy from "I Am Sam" in a lecture full of Nobel Science winners on quantum mechanics. At least they are nice for the most part.

Evolution has two or three main process's


Natural selection where the most desirable mates are choosen for breeding, and when those animalsp/pants which survive adverse conditions long enough to pass on more of their genes then the weaker plant/animals

Recombination of existing genes during reproduction. Creating either stronger or weaker offspring

Genetic mutation at the DNA level, creating brand new genes, or creating new chromasomes entirely.
