Actually normally you have some great points and theories to share..
This one seems quite wrong tho.

The fact that we become more depending on technology isnt really a sign of de-evolving..
Science and technology are just mere tools.


Well I kind of worded this wierd but what i ment was,

We rely so much on tools - we are loosing some of our biological adaptations such as basic instincts and stuff. Think about it like this. If all of a sudden humans had to go back to living like cavemen - do you think everyone would survive? Be able to catch their own food and live in the climate without dieing - Most peolple wouldnt even know where to begin.

Thats what i mean by "de-evolving" from a biological stand point
-Ps, i dont care about anyone who rages this - that just means you are to closed minded to take into consideration what other people think.

HEY IF ALL OF A SUDDEN HUMANS GO BACK TO WHEN WE WERE ONE CELL AMEOBAS DO YOU THINK WE WOULD SURVIVE?

You're an idiot. It isn't raging, its just a fact. Time only moves in one direction. If you have never seen a geico commercial, we fare much better in modern day life than a caveman would. It doesn't go the other way.

I believe we each evolve differently but we are at a constant evolution, one goes through struggle and overcomes and then is changed therefore that is evolution right?

Individual learning and cultural transmission are not considered learning.

Don't any of you have biology in high school? Seriously?
