Homo Futuris Options

[shivani]

I was watching a program , which suggests that Apes evolved into Homo Sapiens, not only because of adaption, but also that the process was driven by some genes inside us. We remembered what we have to become, and that memory helped us become human.

But the process is not yet over. We are still evolving.
Most of the information available is in french though .

Any other info on same??

MJ ???

Bibhas, MJ, so did the evolution take place or not? I could n't understand much of what Bibhas had posted. Though, his own explanations are as lucid as they can be. Bhabhi kaa haath on V-day and the Hard drive metaphors were illuminating.

Need some Engineering like explanation.

Anurag,
Nice to see you here. Hope you had a good time at home. While I am sure MJ would say the jury is still out, I firmly believe in Evolution. Evolution happened and is still happening and will continue to do so. That lamba chauda excerpt was an attempt to list much of the fossil evidence that tracks the evolution from pre-apes to Homo sapiens. If you discard all of the technical stuff and simply focus on the characteristics that arise anew in the newly evolved species and the ones that are still in common with the ancestor, you will see the gradual process of one species evolving into another. Hope that helps. If there are particular sections you would like me to elaborate on, please ask.
