SnailyBoy Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The question "why has the animal, bird and plant kingdom largely remained quite primative over Millions of years, while humans clearly have evolved so much in just a few thousand years?", is a good one. A few thousand years, are you serious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingjimmy Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The question "why has the animal, bird and plant kingdom largely remained quite primative over Millions of years, while humans clearly have evolved so much in just a few thousand years?", is a good one. It is based on flawed premises though. The Animal kingdom has changed drastically over millions of years, and is still changing right now. Some species may have remained largely the same for millions or even hundreds of millions of years, but others have changed. Human's are not the most recent species to change significantly, we're not even the youngest large mammal, polar bears are more recent than us. Just look at how fast we changed wild cats and wolves completely and into so many different forms from a few generations of selective breeding.

Guest Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 First, you need to provide supporting evidence that "the animal, bird and plant kingdom" has "largely remained quite primitive over Millions of years". (...and explain what you mean by 'primitive'.) Next, you need to provide supporting evidence that human beings "clearly have evolved so much in just a few thousand years". Then you might have a question, but I think that the results of your research will surprise you. I would have thought it was pretty self evident. there are animals, plants and birds that function the same way now as they have done for thousands/millions of years, whereas humanity has gone from primitive stone tools to the Ipad.

All here for a purpose, (even mosquitoes once) further healing properties in plants still waiting to be discovered. Nature is amazing, Miraculous!

Margarita Ma Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Man is selective, the mosquito isn't so. The mosquito has probably killed more of mankind than mankind in his killing fervour could ever dream of. It's also not in the nature of the mosquito to kill us, unless "God" does play a part. Actually the mosquito is only the vector of the disease Malaria which causes changes in the body, as the body tries to combat the invasion of the virus it develops a higher temperature and easily becomes dehydrated. Controlling the body temperature and providing hydration usually sees the infected body recover. It is not in the interests of the mozzie or the virus to kill as they depend on the body to live and reproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janie48 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 What purpose?Every living material has a purpose. What do you see around you? everything outside, and inside your home are there as a result of the gifts of nature. ---------- Post added 24-08-2014 at 18:46 ---------- Reproduction.Yes reproduction, without that, the Universe as we know it, would have ceased to exist.
