Evolution Beyond Homo Sapiens?
No. Any such evolution would by definition be a regression to animality rather than a progression, entirely regardless of any specific detail.
Well, indeed. We're back to "science is not philosophy, or vice versa". You might be able to see it. I might be able to see it. But an awful lot of people cannot (or, rather, will not) see it.
What on earth do you mean by "evolution" in this context?
ReplyDeleteThe emergence of any new species descended from homo sapiens.
