General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

I will always find it fascinating how some people will vehemently believe in something unproven while simultaneously denying something that is proven to exist

It's even more hilarious when you actually think about the history of human biology and realize that humans have gotten taller and generally stronger as a result of evolution compared to even what the average human height was 300 years ago. A lot of that has to do with evolving diets and activities that were not available to people way back when.

*depending on region. but yes. for example, lots of mountainous folks are very smol and have much better lung acclimatization to low oxygen areas

you don't even have to go far back to see how certain things have changed us, Fucking athletes from 40 years ago is all you need to look at

yeah, though tbf, I think thats much more research than evolution. dieting , training etc has advanced a shit load. no really so much an evolutionary thing. Id argue ppl wielding giant fucking swords in metal armor were much stronger than us on average , in fact

 

[Comrade Khan]

like shit 40 years ago, Lafleur was smoking on the bench lmao

 

[Comrade Khan]

*in between shifts

 

[Comrade Khan]

Just look at the 3rd gen players though, you can see the changes in them directly, or countries that focus on certain sports and see how they're bodies have changes with each generation. Its starting to become easier to spot those who come from an athletic lne

Skin color is also a huge thing regarding evolution, and a lot of that actually has to do with the fact we interbreeded with the Neanderthals and Homo-Floresiensis millennia before. So many of these racists refuse to admit that Homo Sapiens originated from Africa and it's because of both environment and fucking the existence out of European Neanderthals and Asian Homo Floresiensis

 

[Barry Poppins]

It especially makes sense when you take into account the hypothesized looks of Neanderthals and "Hobbits" (Floresiensis)

 

[Comrade Khan]

some ppl actually dont believe the first trace of humanity was in Africa? wild

Y'know, the Christians who take the bible literally, "GOD BUILT US EDEN IN LIKE... THE MIDDLE EAST OR SOMETHING, I DUNNO"
