It takes one million years for us to evolve

I don't even have double eyelid how am I supposed to get a third one? #justasianthings

Thats not how evolution works lmao
-
we will have big bodies and small heads and a skinny torso
-
valcanoes acttuly ended the ice age

these seem to be very extreme changes for only 5000 years. Water world: boats would drastically slow the need for webbed fingers and toes. Other planet: Sure you may not need those muscles or teeth, but unless they hinder survival and the people who gave out the food selected for these traits for some reason, there would be no change. Ice age: a little more believable but by then we would compensate through better clothing and heating systems in buildings before we physically evolved.

c'mon, technology drives our evolution much harder than any bullshit you've talked about.

There have been loads of ice ages. Why did he say second ice age?
-
1. IF ocean levels rise because ALL ice caps melt, we'll still have plenty of dry land to live in. Even IF current day coastal cities are desined to be drowned out, the extra water and extra temperature mean extra humidity whhich in turn mean more fertile land to cultivate - from the Sahara Desert in Africa to the steppes in Kazakhstan to the Arabian and Gobi Deserts in Asia... not to mention Arizona, New Mexico Nevada and Utah! SO NO WATERWORLD, thank you very much. And we'd NEVER develop webbed fingers because we NEED our fingers as they are - we can use webbed gloves for swimming.
2. SECOND ICE AGE: this means colder Earth, bigger ice caps and less humidity in the air, LOWER ocean levels, so we'd have more land available to cultivate. Volcanic activity is NOT linked in any way to global temperatures so the Paleoanthropologist should avoid making such assumptions. Less sunlight ? PaleoMeteorologists don't think so. Paler skin? Danes have pale skin blue eyes and blond hair but Samis and Eskimos are dark-eyed and dark-haired. Odd the Paleoanthropologist missed this detail. -
Is this a joke, this is fucking retarded.
fuck this shit channel -
it would be accurte if it would have showed nothing
-
Bullshit
-
LMAO Just imagine white people turning EVEN PALER
-
oh i thought were gonna look like tank engines in the year 5000
-
Webbed fingers/toes are NOT an evolution feature, because we USED TO have them. The webs are devolved over time as humans start living on land & don't need them any more. If we ever grow them again, shouldn't it be re-evolve?? or revolve?? LOL
-
there is a chance that volcanos explode and hit the water so there is land
-
the most stupid video I've ever seen lol humans existed for thousands of years and still look the same!! god made us in his image and we won't change... even if we have to swim a lot that won't alter our genetics... scientists are so dummm
-
This is far from how biological evolution works...
-
huh .....I feel like I fell asleep in class
