I think what Fli meant was that Robots will take over the planet and destroy the human race.
If that happens I'll start kissing their ass to stay alive

stop you two. go to another thread with you fighting and ass licking.
elnur, i wanted to say that we, humans, will be replaced by robots, machines, computers, basically, artifitial mind. you, matrix type. i do believe that no live being can overtake humans, be it 5 years or 1000. i think that computers will continue to be developed until they reach the point where they will start to develop themselves. from then there no future for human race. or the sun will explode and were gonna die anyway.
and australia is still "WTF? mate"

But to the topic at hand, we have properly stopped evolving, since nowdays, even the unfit survive to mate on. Whether they get laid is a different case, but its not impossible in todays society. Also, people with good genetic mishaps may not get laid. Would you lay a woman with a third eye or something? Or another mouth?
Sure, look at the past 200 years and it looks like we stopped evolving when you compare it to, say, 20,000 years ago. But our lifetimes are just specks on the timeline of evolution. I can't imagine looking 20,000 years into the future to say that somehow mankind didn't evolve as much as it did in the past 20,000 years. It's myopic to think our miniscule lives and cute little societies are that significant on the scale of evolution. The industrial revolution was but a blink of the eye.
Evolution is force like wide flowing river ... like the shift of the earth's continental plates. We build fortresses, castles, cities, etc., that in our lifetimes seem so sturdy and permanent, but the continued forces of erosion, earthquakes, volcanic flows, and the moving continental plates will ultimately crumble all of it to tiny bits of sand.
Come back to me in 20,000 years and tell me that man stopped evolving...

At last!!!! Somone has finally started a GOOD thread!!!!
1. The more technology people develop, the lesser their brains work. (people got almost everything. Why would they want more technology?)
2. Technology won't stop. But it would continue growing in a slow manner. (According to their needs)
3. Technolgy revltuion might/would take another direction. Since people now have everything they need for a luxurious life, they would use technology for more violence and wars...pretty much like what's happening now...however, the disaster will be bigger!!!!!:frown:

Think of it this way aswell. We are the dominant species on earth, and therefore at the moment, we have no need to evolve unless we are knocked off our pedastal (which is not likely unless planet of the apes becomes real
)
Actually, I don't think our brains work "less." I think, now, there's just so much more to take in because of the many more horizons that have been explored and the boundries broken.
Hasn't it always been like this?
Isn't this a form of evolution?
What do you mean "might/would." Many new inventions have always been used for war and destructive things. Though there's more than one perspective when it comes to deturmining what is or isn't "destructive"
In terms of thinking that regular people would "get bored" and turn to distrutive ways once their needs are satisfied (assuming that's what you mean), I'd have to disagree. Since when have people been "satisfied." I don't want to get to phylisophical, but do you really think there is an end to people wanting more luxury?
Another thing is (already mentioned this) : most of the world "don't" live in "luxury."
.....
I really don't see the direction of your post.

I'd have to agree with Glenn on this one. How can we say evolution stopped when most of the human's history is not recorded and we don't witness enough to say that evolution stopped or if it ever will.
This is what evolution's about. Dealing with and accepting faults is a form of mental evolution too.

Technology has always been a roleplayer in evolution... it's not just a recent phenomenon. It goes back to flint tools, and even earlier.
Another thing that gets missed in the big picture of evolution is how it proceeded in the past with massive events -- whether meteor impacts in the Yucatan accelerating the demise of dinosaurs, a Yellowstone Park-area supervolcano that killed off 80%+ off all plant life on earth (or even the more recent Toba supervolcano some 74,000 years ago), climate changes (Ice Ages, etc.) that weeded out many species and favored a few others.
It's not like those catalclysmic events are just going to stop and that the human race is now immune to them. (Then add our own inventions of nuclear weapons, biological warfare, etc...)

Hhmmm!...interesting topic...evolution.
As has been said above, evolution takes such a damn long time, that we can't measure it in hundreds, or even a few thousand years...
...but it seems to me that to stop evolving would be to deny natures grand plan.
We are intended to evolve...to do anything else would be to stagnate and eventually atrophy away to nothing...in football terms, you must bring fresh blood into the team every season or else the squad gets lazy, stale, and the competition adapts, learns , and eventually overpowers you.
The human race, and all other species, must never cease to evolve if they are to continue the blood line, or they would be overtaken by the latest, more advanced model....Neanderthal and homo sapien sapien?
Besides, if you belive some of the ufo geeks, the 'greys' are humans from the future who have evolved into a different form from us....smaller, bigger head, reduced number of digits, etc...and have returned thro' time the gather dna from their ancestors to re-ignite the evolution process in the soft, pampered future
