    Yeah, but they’ve had hundreds of thousands of years of ‘evolution’ yet still can’t develop more than very basic tools.

    If their habitat is under threat, why can’t they ‘evolve’, and adapt to a new one?

    Mankind ‘evolved’ from apes? I’m not having it.

    That’s not exactly a long time in evolutionary terms.

    Yes it is it’s hundreds of thousands of years. In that time, look at how Mankind has ‘evolved’, and developed new technologies. Chimps jolly well have not moved much beyond scratching themselves and eating bugs.

    I’m not arguing with all of scientific evolutionary ‘theory’, but there are too many gaps in the story of how Mankind ‘evolved’….

    Yes, humans moved from the Stone Age (Neolithic) to today’s technology in a period of just 11,500 years or so.

    But it took us millions of years to get to that point in the first place!

    Is technological evolution the same as physical evolution though? I don’t think they can be measured on the same scale really.

    Technological evolution will inevitably increase exponentially over time, whereas physical evolution is limited by life cycle ie: you need generations to die for the beneficial physical trait to become evolution.

    As an example, Neolithic man will have been pretty much identical modern man, however, he wouldn’t be driving a car. 200 years ago, we weren’t driving cars either, but the exponential rate of development in technology has allowed us to today.
    Give us a few generations of physical development and I reckon we’ll be getting fatter and muscles will be less defined/required.
