The reason we don't see 'pre-today humans' walking around is that humans and other primates, like monkeys, have common ancestors. Over millions of years, different environmental pressures led to diverse evolutionary paths. Monkeys continued evolving into various species, just as our ancestors evolved into modern humans. It's not a case of one transforming directly into another but branching paths from shared roots. #EvolutionExplained
Right, but what the fuck happened in Stoke??
Right? The premise of this meme is dumb, but is Stoke-on-Trent the Florida of England? I feel like this could be a really funny joke and I just donโt know what it is. And I want to know.
In England the joke is more than the next town over are subhumans. This goes for every town. Sometimes mutually. Think Shellbyville/Springfield rather than Florida man. It's all just local slander, you could just as easily say Chatham, or Grimsby, or Cornwall.
Idk... Have you been to Stoke?
On a cold rainy night?
Would you offer your leg to the dog with the blue orchids?
Thank you for adding context!
It's not dumb you're just ignorant of the context.
Things you dont understand aren't inherently dumb
No, thatโs a really dumb critique of evolution. Plenty of other people have explained it in this comment section.
I mean the humans of that time, and the "chimps" of that time. They've obviously gone off and had their own evolutionary track, and to my point, done so uncontested.
Thatcher. All the work there was coal or high energy near the coal (pottery). So when coal went, and so did all it's down stream industry (pottery). So there is no work and massive multigenerational unemployment. The place is a wreck. It needs massive investment that not only is it not getting but has never got.
also we killed a lot of them didnt we
Also, hominids have a tendency to kill and/or rape other, slightly different hominids.
Early humans existed at the same time as several others in the Homo genus. The first humans to leave Africa "replaced" existing populations of Neanderthals and Denisovans, basically our evolutionary cousins, through interbreeding and competition for resources.
