Homo Futuris

[iAlrakis]

-Did a search, went a couple years back, and couldn't immediately find a thread about this-

 

I  watched a rather old docu on Netflix recently.  "Homo Futuris, the inside story".

"scientists theorise that genetics, not environment, fuelled early human evolution — and still do.".

A recurring, accelerating gen mutation seems to cause the bone that forms the base of the skull to bend more each time.  Resulting in a bigger, rounder skull with a smaller jaw.

Bigger skull = bigger brain.

 

The topic itself was already super fascinating but when they started speculating about the next mutation.  An even bigger, rounder skull, smaller jaw.  We're getting closer there to the most common depiction of aliens.

This last part certainly isn't suitable for this space on the forum but it's a nice thought to let your mind wander.  Also don't want to create two posts with the same story in it.

 Do all 'humans' throughout the universe end up with the same body shape given enough time?

Did they do their own CRISPR on animals?  Is that why they are coming here to experiment on people to how things are going?

So many questions.

Wow.  Ok.  Thank you Xeno.  That is waaaaay above my pay grade.

The humanoid body structure isn't a "convergent" which evolves to fill a niche. It's a product of environmental stresses.

We evolved arms at our sides that can be lifted over our heads because our ancestors were arboreal. Which was also why we evolved thumbs.

Those trees started to disappear so we evolved hips and legs to run to trees for safety. 

The gravitational pull of our oversized moon contributed to this. The moon also acts to "stablize" our weather patterns so we don't have planet wide high speed winds keeping us low to the ground. 

So, we're probably "it" when it comes to our body structure.

A friend of mine, Rutledge Ellis-Benke helped develop those techniques and when he starts getting technical I just shake my head without comprehending a word. 🤪

well yes, you state the current top idea with confidence but the other idea seems to fit with measurements taken from studying huge amounts of fossils.

????? Ok....I'm confused...

It's not a "idea". It's biological fact.

You want to show me a research paper with this other idea involving "measurements"?

Didn't Neanderthals have bigger brains than us?

A orthodontist and paleontologist.....ok

Bigger skull = bigger brain.

This was debunked as no gene was found.

ok, that's useful information.  Updated information should be played before the start of a docu to inform people about this.

Old videos with maybe offensive jokes are taken offline but wrong information is allowed to spread.

Netflix is always getting called out on their BS. Graham Hancock's joke of a series is a prime example.
