in this post over here i suggested we start a thread documenting the changes in modern humans since the beginning of recorded history.
so here we go.
give me population details. heights, weights, brain size, intellectual capabilities. whatever. i want the yecish to prove that we're precisely the same as we were in 1500bc and the non yecish to show me how we aren't. i'm not necessarily talking about massive shifts, just small shifts that could be enough to eventually lead to speciation. geographic, environmental, sex-selection, whatever.
once again, i'm going to be acting as a facilitator and not an participant. i'm too tired for this.

no no. i mean specifically modern humans within the range of recorded history. this isn't about pre-human transition.

wow. someone resurrected this thread.
very good points.
i'd like to also bring up the massive size change within modern man. this is partly attributable to agricultural influences, from what i understand, but may or may not be an actual 'mutation' but razther sexual selection due to preference for bigger, stronger men.

this thread is not intended for "social evolution". this is to discuss real, documented physiological and morphological changes in modern man. driving a car is not a genetic trait.

From all investigations, modern humans have no history prior to 6000 years.
i suppose that depends on your definition of modern man.

Re: Still off-topic comment, but it's fun. Sorry brenn.
i started this thread almost 2 years ago. i really don't care about it. no one was interested in participating in the real discussion and now there's a free for all with someone who needlessly slings all-caps.
as long as i stop reading it now and don't get myself suspended for suggesting exactly what he can do with his ludicrous, i'm good.
