Human evolution

[Qilue]

Something I've been pondering for a while.

From our beginnings as semi-intelligent apes somewhere in the middle of the food-chain, we have evolved to become possiblely the most successul single species in the history of the earth. Through Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo heidelbergensis to us Homo sapiens, the rulers of the earth.

However, a new species of human seems to be emerging and in spite of all their efforts to make themselves extinct, they appear to be flourishing. This new species, provisionally callled Homo witless, seems to have lost Homo sapiens' propensity towards not engaging in unwise activities.

Most successful? How are you defining success?

[Q Classic]

...I don't get it.

The video, not your post.

I'm not going to sign up just for this video. What's on there?

[LordShiva]

Someone please make a generic Poly login and post the details here. I couldn't watch the Nasrallah video yesterday either.

[Sir Og]

We are not the most successful species by any stretch of the imagination.

I can't be bothered to watch the video too.

This is a cut of the original video. not for the fainthearted

Having overcome most of the mechanisms of natural selection (predators, disease, famine - at least for N America and Europe) humans are now having to develop other ways of eliminating the less fit to survive in the population. Motor vehicles seem to be the most effective method so far.

This is so hilarious

I wonder if it was the poles that bent under the pressure, since both of them were kicked out at the same time. But then it might just have been centrifugal force.

How dead are they now?

[Snotty]

there was a story on the radio this morning about the video, I suspect they would have mentioned if the girls had died.

from bbc news '"We have checked local hospitals and we have been assured that no emergency admissions have been made relating to this." '

Didn't think they were this young, more like 16ish.

Also didn't think you'd run away from such a stunt without too severe injuries, hence my asking how dead they were.

find us a roundabout and we can see how well we can injure ourselves using only manpower
