Because there is no longer a need for a human to be strong or physically adept, natural selection is improving mental power while slacking in the physical department.

"I think that's foolish to say. Yes, the average person might be weaker because they'd simply die off way back when - but the most physically fit vs. ancient man's most physically fit I'd say no question that it is modern man - we've used our brains to perfect our bodies..."


I would think that the average cave man would be stronger than the average modern man. You cannot compare today's pinnacle of physical capability to a cave man's, as the best athletes today are that way as a result of using the more advanced brain to become that physically capable; they were not born that way. Today's high end athletes became physically fit and adept due to possessing the knowledge of how to achieve it. Because we have used our brains to perfect our bodies, it shows that evolution in humans favors the mind. However we use the mind is not the point. It is the fact that we are born with much more cognitive potential than our ancestors. This continues to this day. Has there ever been a man in history with the IQ of Dr. Steven Hawking?

That is not entirely true. Some people are athletically gifted at birth, they just need to learn how to tap into it.

who says we are the dominant species? we're far more susceptible to extinction than countless other species.

If we really wanted to, we could whipe all other species out - no other species on Earth could do such a thing at will.

we can't wipe out every species on earth. if we attempted to, we'd be one of the earlier species to die out.

The other species can't leave the planet if they wanted to. We could build great big colony ships, then sterilize the planet from orbit. But I don't see why we would want to nuke our own planet. 🙂

I would still think some sort of primate, possibly once of Homo Sapiens' early ancestors.

That's trollbait if I've ever seen it.

Not any moreso than the topic.

True. There are those who are naturally gifted. However, they are anomalies. That is why we use the term "gifted".
