Don't get it (Re: Ape to Man - where did the hair go?)

AND just WHAT did I do to deserve that?? I'll have you know that some significant fraction of women find bald sexy! Geez!But on topic. Mike commented about losing information. This is a bit of an oversimplification. As noted elsewhere it depends on what the, in this case hair loss, genetic change was. It might be a simple mutation in a control that could have some not too small probability of being reversed. The hair loss could even be due to the addition of some inhibitor with some complexity. In that case any "break" of the inhibition would bring back the trait being inhibited.It isn't as simple as "losing" a gene for hair.

The word might not be 'mutant' but rather 'throwback'. I, on the other hand, am an example of the opposite: a more highly evolved specimen. You can tell by the continuing loss of hair.

As a parable that's not bad. Man clearly did arise "where clothing and hair were not required for warmth." And those who are still there do nicely without any clothing (for warmth).The rest of your thesis has a large number of holes.

Maybe I can't and maybe you can't but I've watched a human run a 100 kms in a day. You need to do your research before making statments from very limited experience.

The stops were very short indeed, a few minutes in a hour. His speed was greater than I can maintain for half an hour (and I'm in not bad shape though no runner). And 100 km in a day is well under what the really serious crazies do. You really don't know much about this.The majority are hardly living the life that we evolved for. What you and I can do is not relavant to how we have evolved.[This message has been edited by NosyNed, 04-28-2004]
