Re: More fit vs. optimally fit
how could the eye "evolve"?
Not on topic. The evolution of the eye can be discussed elsewhere.
it sees things upside down, proccesses it, turns it right side up, and then sends the information to the brain
But no - the brain does all the processing. If you wear goggles that turn all images upside down within a few hours everything would look 'normal' since the brain would invert it again.
wouldn't it be easier yet to have no emotions at all?
Evolution notoriously does not result in 'easy' solutions. They are often overly complex with significant redundancy and a fair amount of waste.
On the other hand - it could be no other way, so it is the easiest way. Most life doesn't have a nervous system so presumably has no emotion. So it seems an unusual specialism unique to a small subset of a small subset of life. It seems to have had a positive outcome for us
maybe I am the next evolution of human beings.
Maybe - how many children have you had?
abe: on that note: Welcome to EvC
