I don't know. The best way to see how our brains have evolved anthropologically is to examine ancient skulls and, ideally, perfectly preserved brains encased in amber.
Anyone know how I can get my advanced reply to go back down to 1 screen again???????
dude, seriously, some of us aren't on here every minute of the day. some of us have work to do in the meantime and don't read every post in the thread over and over looking for spelling errors. I didn't see the page with replies and didn't scroll up after my last response. Thanks for the PM, it got my attention, but you could have just left it at that.
I removed the pic, chill the hell out. give a guy at least a half hour before you post multiple negative rep and flame the hell out of him.

Depends on your view of helping/hindering. It'll help us live longer lives but it may take away part of what makes us human.
Please just keep this thread to your opinion without pointing out others as foolish or wrong. Either that or stay out of this thread bud, withI say this
roger that, good buddy.
It must have been caught in a loop or something, when I changed the theme back to fairy purple it fixt itself.
Do you believe that Genetic Engineering will be improperly used in the future? If so, what kind of use do you for see?
they can already fertilize an egg and allow it to divide a few times in a test tube and then check to see if certain ones have genetic defects. then they keep only the division that is genetically ok that goes on to become a baby.
What is to stop them from testing for genes that would make a baby good at sports, or a brilliant chess player, or a master ninja assassin? Should we be able to have that much control over the kind of offspring we have? Does man have the right amount of foresight to know the effects of this kind of controlled breeding will have on the overall evolution of man?
Well as you can tell I am mainly just looking at peoples answers to the first questions and then leading from that. I actually really enjoyed the answers they really make you think and let you see into others minds. Its my moms birthday so I am out for the night but will pick it up tomorrow.
Which genes are responsible for those though? They're all learned behavior. I don't think DNA is coded for things like strategic anticipation.
Final before I leave...
If we can Genetically Master the birthing process to control any genetic defects should we? Where do we stop, at defects or do you keep going to make your child have a certain hair color, a certain height?

What about genes that ensure someone grows to be 8.5 feet tall, or to have bones and muscles built for running fast. That would be a damn good start to be a basketball player or olympic runner. Sure, some people will never be athletic or have heart like Rocky Balboa but they can certainly get a leg up (no pun intended) if they have the physiology of a sports machine.
