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??

[โ€“] Starbuck 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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 donโ€™t know what it is. And I want to know.

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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?

Would you offer your leg to the dog with the blue orchids?

[โ€“] Starbuck 3 points 7 months ago

Thank you for adding context!

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's not dumb you're just ignorant of the context.

Things you dont understand aren't inherently dumb

[โ€“] Starbuck 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, thatโ€™s a really dumb critique of evolution. Plenty of other people have explained it in this comment section.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

also we killed a lot of them didnt we

[โ€“] too_high_for_this 3 points 7 months ago

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.

There are not millions of the creature on the left, they are just a common ancestor that long ago diverted in to humans and OTHER apes... You fucking idiot.

No Oxford comma, it's inclusive, "humans and other apes" :)

Homo sapiens killed and outfucked all the other species extant in their genus, forgot, and then made this meme.

Thanks for attending my TED Talk on the Fermi paradox.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Outfucked? Now I am proud.

See: outfucked

Man? Woman? Non-human? Any hole's a goal.

[โ€“] Anticorp 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The answer is that homosapiens out competed them and killed them off. There ya go. Easy answer to an easy question.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Not to mention the "chimps" pointed to in the beginning of the sequence aren't meant to be proper chimps anyway, just a similar looking common ancestor.

[โ€“] MeaanBeaan 3 points 7 months ago

It's also just an artist's representation of humanity's path through evolution and is in no way meant to represent how evolution actually works.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Yep. We had no reason to compete with chimps

[โ€“] Diplomjodler3 8 points 7 months ago

We have plenty of them here in Germany too.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is even more stupid than the question why there are still apes when they supposedly evolved into humans. I love it!

Or is this a serious question? In that case, I can explain but someone else already did

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Or is this a serious question?

It is not a serious community.

Well, if you wanna get serious about it, the wild difference in appearance between people is the only proof needed of those in-betweeners.

Facial structure, height, width, hair colour and type etc. Every difference that sets us apart is proof we are the end result of the mass, indiscriminate fucking that occured in the past.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What? No, the physical difference in ethnicities is not due to different ethnicities having romped around with different irritation of prior human species, it's almost entirely epigenetic.

Different ethnicities with the same basic genes were subjected to different environments. This interaction with the environment over long periods of times caused these same genes to express themselves in different ways.

Your claim is coincidentally (I hope unintentionally)based on debunked "science" like phrenology, who's practitioners liked to propose that non white races were less evolved/mixes of modern humans with proto humans.

[โ€“] lath 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My claim is based on being completely not serious despite my saying so and waiting for someone else to correct me, as that is an expected rule of the internet.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Idk, I think that may have been a rule of the internet at one point. Now it feels just as likely to spawn some new rehashed version of phrenology.

[โ€“] lath 0 points 7 months ago

Really? I felt it says we're all the soup of our ancestors.
