So Where Did All The Evolving Go?

If Neanderthal is supposed to have lived in Europe beginning 300,000 years ago and Cro-Magnon for the last 30,000 years or so and it turns out that their “Modern” dna is unchanged since that time; when did we do all that evolving?


A Cro-Magnon dna sequence supposedly 28,000 years old was obtained from fossil bones discoverd in the Paglicci cave, in Italy. The results show that the dna is identical to the DNA sequences of certain modern Europeans. The DNA sequence has remained static and unchanged in over 28,000 years.

Read the whole article below. This outta send the evolution club reeling........

This thread is showing a distinct lack of knowledge regarding the concept of evolution. There was a guy who wrote a book about it. I think his name was Darwin. No wait, that's the controversial new PV muttSRT is so in love with.

Oh well, nevermind.

If you're asking why "man" hasn't changed much in terms of DNA, well, we are humans now, with human DNA. Once a species reaches its pinnacle, there isn't much more it can do. However, some minor changes happen - like height for example. If you ever visit a place like England, you'll notice that many of the older buildings have very small door frames. Most people in the 1700's (or back even further - I just chose an arbitrary time period) were under 5'2. Now, it is less common to find a majority group of people in England who are that short. But, evolutionary concepts deal more with species that evolve out of other species, or "new" species that change over time to better survive. That is still going on today - it's written about often in scientific journals, and can be seen in Museums of Science around the world. I do suspect, however, that in 30,000 years from now, humans, should they still exist, will be at least somewhat different. Especially if planetary changes occur that make it necessary in order for them to survive.

Only other thing I wanted to add is that the evolution of a species doesn't mean the end of it. So, IF humans evolved from apes, the ape species would not necessarily be "eliminated." The new human species would just start and continue to evolve until it reached its best survivability make up. Not saying that is what happened, just how it could have.
