Evening, /his/. I'm the anon who created pic related. Now, this is hard, but I'm just going to have to eat crow. I mean, when you're wrong, you're wrong. I cited a fastest possible fixation rate of 50 generations per fixation. Sadly, it would appear I was wrong by an order of magnitude. Quote:>JBS Haldane made a relevant hypothetical calculation. He assumed a selection pressure in favour of a new mutation so weak as to seem trivial: for every 1,000 individuals with the mutation who survive, 999 individuals without the mutation will survive. That selection pressure is much too weak to be detected by scientists working in the field. Given Haldane’s assumption, how long will it take for such a new mutation to spread through half the population? His answer was a mere 11,739 generations if the gene is dominant, 321,444 generations if it is recessive. In the case of many animals, that number of generations is an eye-blink by geological standards.>Richard Dawkins, The Genetic Book of the Dead (2024)An eye-blink indeed. I stand corrected. The actual minimal time since we split from chimps is actually 4,108,650,000,000 years. That's about 4 trillion years more than my amateur research indicated.Oops!
>>18285948The flames just keep getting hotter. Enjoy.
>>18285956You seem confused.
>>18285948Bump!
>>18285948Are you fucking retarded?I feel silly asking that because it's so obvious you're not trying to engage in any sort of research in good faith. You're just grabbing random shit you read on the internet and pasting it together to come to the conclusion you want. As far as doing that goes, I don't know what to tell you because I'm not some sort of specialist in being a dumb fuck. When it comes to "split from chimps", that's not a thing. You think, despite finding all of the hominid species that lived before and alongside homo sapien, humans just came out of thin air as we are? What about the clear changes in homo sapien anatomy in the last 100k years? So after God (which I do believe in) just snapped his fingers and created us as we are, why have we changed since then? Will we continue changing? How much? Surely you would consider that evolving, right? So for some reason God just couldn't have created homo sapien through the convoluted process of evolution, so he snapped his fingers and made us as we are. But now we're evolving? What sense does that make? Just follow the evidence son. The first sip out of the cup of scientific studies will make you an atheist. But God is waiting for you at the bottom of the glass. You need to accept the simple truth that just because your little brain can't possibly fathom it, doesn't mean God didn't do it. God created all of this and he did it in ways we'll probably never fully understand. Yet, he put in us the spark of curiosity and the desire to learn about and understand this universe. He created natural laws to help us measure and gauge things accurately. I'm so blessed it's absurd. I'm about to get on my knees and thank God for everything he's done for me. I don't deserve any of it. Thank you
>>18285948Natural selection has no effect on evolution I see. Please go back to your antiracist protests because that's where you'll find likeminded people, seeing that you're already following the evolutionary logic of Gould anyway.
>>18287046>>18287062See >>18285973It's really astonishing the world you "people" live in. I'm seriously starting to question the humanity of "people" below 125 IQ. If I had brain damage and were left in such a state - Like if I had 115 IQ or something - I'd seriously contemplate suicide at that point. Like, if I had to be like you rodents... What a chilling thought.
>>18287046>What about the clear changes in homo sapien anatomy in the last 100k years?That's being generous, we can see that the average person looked notably different as recently as 10,000 years ago.
>>18287604Mutation isn't the driver of evolution. I know they told you that when they were telling you about evil racists being wrong and how jesus loves niggers, but they taught you wrong as a joke. Stop being nigger lover and join the racist evolutionary league.
after a period of calm, we have this exact thread again. there's no point explaining to the retard OP the hundredth time that mutations aren't waiting in a queue for the previous one to finish fixating. this thread is part of the trend of angering people by pretending to be retarded, because it gives the troll a warm fuzzy feeling of controlling other people.
>>18287604This is what happens when you're not smart enough to go to college
