The Theory of Human Adaptation!
A question of "Good or Bad"?
Back when we were primitive people (cavemen, basically 3nodding ), we had strong muscles, an iron jaw, a stomach of steel, and a great immune system.
Now what do we have? None of that really. Before we began to cook food using fire, our muscles in our jaws were very strong. We used them to eat raw meat. But when we finally did learn to cook with fire, the food we ate became more clean (less germs) and softer to eat. And with many things, actually became edible. We were able to multiply more beacuse of wider variety of food. But what did change since we discovered cooked food? Our muscles in our jaw began to change, and beacame much, much smaller. And from the extra space we lost in our jaw, our brains expanded. Seems pretty good so far right? But......and they're always a bad side......our stomachs beacme weaker. When we ate raw food, filled with parasites, toxins, and germs, our stomachs were able to withstand them becuase they became accustomed or adapted to it. But then, we soon adapted to clean, healthy food. As soon as we ate a contaminate, we would get sick immediately. Now think about it.....is that a good thing?
Another study shows that parents whom were too clean (as in santized) with they're children, those children became more prone to sickness. Why? Because those children became too accustomed to a sanitized environment. Too used to that enviroment, in fact. Now think.........what if a contaminate, a germ, a virus was able to get to one of those children? They would get sick........more sick than most people would normally get. Once again, we ask why? Because children who have grew up in a reasonably germ filled environment ( sweatdrop ) became immune to those germs because they have become in contact with them in a certain way that those children became immune to it. Now what about the sanitized children? They sometimes gain asthma, a frail structure, and all sorts of other things. Because they were never given the chance to set up an immunity to it.
Next up, our adaptation in the technological empire. As most of us know, we are pretty advanced in technology as a whole. But as millions of kids (like me xp ), are sitting at our computers and learning (basically rolleyes ). So what happens to us through a physical perspective? We begin to get weaker as our minds become bigger. And many scientists believe that some day....some crazy day..that our limbs and pyhsical strenght will simply disappear. Why? Becuase we'll have robots to do all the work for us.
So we traded our muscles (including in our jaws) for a bigger brain capacity and possibly a better adaptation to the technological future; and we traded germs and our immunities to never getting in contact with a germ in the first place (which means no immunity).
Now tell me this....is this adaptation a good, or bad thing?

Very weird things happen to me for some reason...... I have a twin sister right (my friends know wut I mean), and 4 strangers came up to me and asked for me to hook them up with her burning_eyes burning_eyes !!! I wasn't really angry, to say the least, but it felt sooooooo awkward. And what was really weird, was dat a 5th person asked the same thing and he was my best friend!!! sweatdrop So very awkward...
Another awkward moment:
I have a friend who's lesbian, right (just for the record I'm not homophobic, be gay leasbian or whatever, just bestial ppl scare me), and she said she had a girlfriend, as in literally. At first I didn't believe her, but then I actually met my friend's girlfriend!!! How awkward was that??? sweatdrop xd sweatdrop
