h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've just been watching a pice on Natural Geographic Channel about the evolutionary advatages of sex.

It was quite interesting, talking about variation and comparative breeding experments to A sexual fish. and then going on the famous darwin theory of sexual evolution and how the theory explains such things as pecocks tails and antlers ect,

then quite unexpectdly they went onto human sexual evolution and a theory by which explains our unnaturaly large brains, I'm still in favour of the aquatic ape, but it's quite interesting, it says that in the past because the females have selected the males, they must have chosen mates for there creative abilities in music, the arts and even comedy.

but they also say that the desire for strong males is still favourable in most females for obvouse reasons. they also speculate that as humans become more depentant upon creative abilities in order to get jobs and there for to care for offspring this factor may fade.

there may just be hope for me after all.

Sadly I fear there is no hope for me on either of those two fronts

You may just be a new spicies,

One destined for extinction, on my current reproductive form Well, my excuess, I just "decided" to save myself up for a little* while, after years of overinduldging, just to make it that* bit better when I finally do get round to having a life again Oh well, a different species, I like that

But thats the definition of a new spicies isn't it?

like all the difrent kinds of dog are one spicies, only because they interbreed.

wer'as some humans can obvously mentaly be thought of as a new spicies because they can't breed with the rest of human kind. I don't know if it's alowed that it's only meta-pysical rather than physical.

Interesting idea with intersting conatatioins; it would make people who are highly raciest a different species than those they are raciest against, which of course in a way they are No, that doesn't sound right, but i think the idea is

Yes the idea is suspect, but only because it involves peoples mental atatudes about the world efecting the world, and alot of people have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that thats whats going on all the time.
