GEG Atheist fails

this is a societal problem we started to face in the last couple of centuries, nothing to do with our evolution
>This aspect of our species that only started to exist recently has nothing to do with evolution
????? This changed because humans evolved. Why else didn’t it exist in the past?
 
why do u think our environment required such high intelligence and usage of tools? and yes there is plenty stopping us, evolution stops if a mutation is bad, it cant see into the future and searches for it 'greedily', you say we started to select for the intellect but evolution has no will behind it, there is no intellect behind it, there was no selective pressure to become sapient
Chance, we needed to develop tools and cooperate to survive in a highly competitive environment of african savannah, it came over millenias for us to become as you say sapient. Bad mutations are discarded yes but intellegence is a very powerful thing to have and a good mutation. Sapience is a biproduct of us growing more intelligent

our societies become so complex and so safe that it allowed for the survival of the undesirable groups, this is a recent occurence as even a 500 years ago a retard would just be drowned or die by himself

its not always a good thing, dont forget its all about niches!! it has trade offs, we need to eat much more, we have less muscle because of the energy our big brains use, we die easily during childbirth and gestate for long periods, massive trade offs that dont really make sense for evolution to even touch because of the immediate downsides with unclear long term upsides
 
1. language started with commands shouted during hunting and during team efforts as in we lift a stone so we scream at the same time to maximize our efforts.
Swede I'd really appreciate it if you didn't spout theories as fact. I mean this is just a theory dude it's not even widely accepted. Also, writing didn't come from language, how the fuck do you not know that?
 
hey guys darwin here ama

yeah but our higher intelligence outweighed the cons easily

wdym it didn't come from language we needed one to make another, it came from us being highly intelligent

wdym it didn't come from language we needed one to make another, it came from us being highly intelligent
yes but the higher intelligence had no way to present itself until extremely later on!! it laid the foundation for writing and agriculture and such but it didnt rly present such a huge evolutionary advantage that it would ever evolve naturally just solely from the trade offs, monkeys and other apes are the peak of evolution for intelligence

Writing didn't come from the need to record language. It came from the Sumerians needing to write down who had what and whatever. Being used to write down language is simply an unforeseen consequence

yes that's why babi es are so valuable, it takes a long time for a bab y to grow but the grown adult is an unstoppable machine and a very valuable resource, many mammals do the same thing, they don't have a lot of babi es and it takes these babi es a long time to develop. It did present a huge evolutionary advantage, tools, higher levels of communication that's what laid the foundation for our species, it was like nothing else and very advantageous.

yeah it's just an evolution of language, sumerians used it for record keeping (sheep, bushels of wheat etc.) and later on as a way to preserve their culture for future generations

u didnt address anything i said u just went on a tangent about babies, it takes a human 9 months to give birth to 1 baby, and that has a 50% chance of killing them, there is nothing like that in any other mammal, and like i said there is no reason for evolution to evolve something that is bad in the short term (which higher intelligence looks like)!
 
It didn't come from language, that's not an evolution of language
how so? Yes the sumerians used it for one thing first and then to record their language
u didnt address anything i said u just went on a tangent about wizards, it takes a human 9 months to give birth to 1 wizard, and that has a 50% chance of killing them, there is nothing like that in any other mammal, and like i said there is no reason for evolution to evolve something that is bad in the short term (which higher intelligence looks like)!
statistics out of nowhere, it's not 50% not today not in the past, we even developed soft baby skulls to combat it and larger birth canals in women, it is highly unique precisely because intellect is such a valuable thing and it worked because we are here
