Micro evolution is demonstrable. Always has been.

Macro evolution doesn’t exist, and has never existed. That is the problem with Chuck Darwin and his adherents.

Yes, still evolving. And still human - that is all we have ever been: human.

We're also taller than we used to be. Still human.

Darwinism hasn’t quite reached it’s end goal yet, one can only surmise.

Would you consider this a mutation that’s just been able to sustain itself over generations?

“Darwinism” has no “end goal”.

the extra use of our thumbs in playing nintendo has driven the need for more blood flow to the digits.

Not enough generations for natural selection to create this change. I’ve always thought that brains and genes can create changes on their own to meet various needs. That goes beyond normal natural selection as alterations can occur far sooner. Seen such in very rapid changes in nature, that defy the timeline that pure natural selection could account for. So, in essence, I think there is intelligence involved in evolution.

Shows the degenerating DNA baseline, the extra artery should be go e, but that part of the code is weak. Extra arteries is not really a good thing as it is a serious failure point if cut. Its purpose is to increase the blood flow when the hand is forming and is un necessary once 5hat is comete

A third eye in the forehead is also of dubious value. But one on the back of the head could be of use. Arguing the forehead eye as evolution is the same, though most would call it a horrible deformity.

Wonder how long this “observation” of the median artery has been going on for. How do they know who loses it and who keeps it, never mind who “regenerates” it?

If God wants us to have the median artery to keep going for whatever reason, He does it. There is no “microevolution”, if that word even has a true definition.

Democrats are proof of Devolution.....and that’s NOT “progress”.

I was looking at a bunch of old mugshots of criminals from the 1800s last night. It was amazing how much smaller people were back then, very rarely were any men over 5'7" and the women averaged around 5'3". I was thinking Abe Lincoln must have came across as a giant at 6'4".

ALL LIFE adapts faster than the “world is coming to an end” scare mongers today claim it does.

This is a genetic mutation not ‘evolution’ but labeled as such to get everyone’s dander up.

Depends on which of the many competing theories of “evolution” a person decides to have faith in:

“For those who dream of a better life, science has bad news: this is the best it is going to get. Our species has reached its biological pinnacle and is no longer capable of changing.

That is the stark, controversial view of a group of biologists who believe a Western lifestyle now protects humanity from the forces that used to shape Homo sapiens.

‘If you want to know what Utopia is like, just look around - this is it,’ said Professor Steve Jones”

I go with the Ancient Alien Theory Of Evolution, myself. Not because it has any more validity than the other theories fighting it out in their misc Darwinism denominations - just that it’s the coolest & most fun of the stories Darwinists have come up with

...or epigenetics. This is supposedly not Lamarckism, but somehow involves the environment in leading evolution down particular paths.

This would be a way to explain the amount of change that is surmised to have occurred over the four billion years of Earth's existence... even though most mathematical models would suggest that even four billion years is not enough time for random chance and natural selection.
