They obviously didn't just sit around and twiddle their thumbs ~ WE'RE here!

If we lose traits that existed that are no longer needed that is evolution.

Since when is getting hungry and finding something to eat a 'trait?'

It's just that, instead of HAVING to walk/run/sprint anywhere, and HAVING to be willing to kill, up close and personal,

the 'hunting and gathering' that we do these days consists of piling into the vehicle and flying down to the corner store for groceries.

We aren't required to do as much, physically, these days to get food ~ not like it used to be.

That's all i'm saying.

Perhaps i'm living in the past, but i thought those types of characteristics were 'basic instincts' ~ sort of like breathing, which i personally wouldn't call a 'trait.'

Uh, the ability to breath is a trait.

Uh, she was obviously referencing our lack of physical activity as a lack of muscle mass. That isn't evolution, evolution would involve genetic alterations.

Sorry about this, Proggy, but

AAAaaa! Wrong. Instinct.

from wiki:

To be considered instinctual a behavior must a) be automatic, b) be irresistible, c) occur at some point in development, d) be triggered by some event in the environment, e) occur in every member of the species, f) be unmodifiable, and g) govern behavior for which the organism needs no training (although the organism may profit from experience and to that degree the behavior is modifiable). The absence of one or more of these criteria indicates that the behavior is not fully instinctual. Instincts do exist in insects and animals as can be seen in behaviors that can not be changed by learning.

Breathing? Eating? Instincts.

Yo Wendy, why does every thread you post in turn into an off-topic arguement?

ProggyMan · 10-27-2008, 07:16 PM

That doesn't mean they're not traits...Regardless I said the ability to breathe, so all that's irrelevant.

My thoughts exactly.

On topic or get out Wendy.
I'm growing tired of you scribbling all over the boards.
