After coming back from my african wild life trip, I feel people (human) is the end of life evolution. From this point, the life on earth is going down.

By far, human has the best gene on earth and it takes millions of years to get this point.
Life started from very simple form and began more and more complex through the natural selection.

When I was in africa I wittness the whole process. In the animals, only the ones (male) that are strongest, toughest can mate and pass on their gene. Overall, the ones with best gene and their offsprings will survive while improving their gene. Eventually, they evolve into a higher level of life form.

Rightnow, human dominates this planet and other speices have no room or time so they can out evolve us and replace human.

At the other end, look at ourselves, everybody can mate and reproduce no matter what kind of gene he has. This means all the gene (good, mediocre, bad) are passed on. The bottomline is we are not improving our genes in long term. We may create technical wonders, but as a life form, our quality is going down.

they will make room, or the environment will change. this process takes millions of years.

Meanwhile, our technological level allow us to push a sort of forced evolutionary process, capable of acting on a much smaller time scale. We're extending life spans dramatically, improving medicine, and have the growing capability to modify our own genetic line directly.

Has this ever been documented?

I think the aliens might have done that if they visit the earth every 100 thousand of years since the beginnin of life and they did have video recorder back then.

you are wrong, dolphins will take over as the main specie and we will be slaves to them.

i saw it on tv.

That is bull, dolphins can't get their fins in the trigger guard so we will own them if they try anything.

Outside of what we've created for ourselves, life in nature is nasty, brutal, and short. The new technologies obviously open up a number of dangers, which have the potential to revert civilization to a less secure environment.

The internet is the only place where people who have a complete lack of communication skills get to espouse theories and have them heard. It's also a great medium for stupid people to get heard too.

This thread just hit the exacta.

We have this thread every few months. If all goes as expected, in a few short hours we'll have made the jump from genetics and evolution to abiogenesis, and after a short stop at the big bang, we'll then jump head first into a flame war about creationism and intelligent design, where everyone sees everyone else as an idiot, and in the end, we'll all just be stupider for it.

Maybe the OP has a point. :p

This last point you make is actually one of the reasons that average male sperm count is plummeting in industrialized nations. Even very poor genetic material is being passed on.

Isn't the idea of an end to evolution kind of contradictory? I was under the impress we are always evolving and that is it a never-ending process.

You do have a point... How can we improve our intelligence if we keep giving birth to dumb people? :p Then again, if people exclude the dumb, everyone will go screaming around dictatorship... mmmmm its a problem
