RE: Could we figure out evolution without fossils?

in #science7 years ago (edited)

I agree with you but only to a certain extent, do you think the human race would have had the same spark of curiosity and interest I researching evolution and the species if we had not found fossils?

All these things are evident to us right now, but without the desire to unearth more fossils and seek more knowledge that such discoveries sparked, do you still believe it would have been as easy as you try to imply?

All I'm tying to say is that maybe without the discovery of fossils, the interest on the field would have been lower, and thus slowing is down the research for centuries.

Sort:  

It's hard to say, since there is no way of knowing for sure since the egg is already broken but we agree

"so without fossils it might have taken longer"

It would be an interesting topic to see any of my favorite alt historian YouTubers tackle "What if fossils didn't exist"

Fossils are there as a clue. Without them, making scientific deductions about our ancestry and origins as organisms would be a difficult one.
Yet, I'm still skeptical enough to not totally depend wholly on fossil records in tracing my human evolutionary ancestry to a 'cousin ape'.
Questions abound...

there aren't "evidence" for it. I mean the science that supports evolution is nonsense. such as carbon dating. the only scientific evidence evoultion have is what? yeah you guess it. Carbon dating and what??? yeah microevolution. carbon dating is just a guessing game.

There are still no concrete facts of human civilization's start. on this planet. There are loads of theories prooving that humans did not exist on the planet, and we are actually some sort of bioligical experiment of martians or some other planet which had been or was being destroyed. The entire "Evolution of humans" is a hoax that has been made by some for us to believe. We are a no match to other earthlings. Some also claim that Dinosours were actually destroyed/killed by "Alien Nukes"

Here are some quick commonsense points:

  1. We are the only non instinctual/judgmental species.
  2. We are the only species that dont want to coexist.
  3. Our skin/DNA/ Body type is way too different from other species on the planet.
  4. We are the most destructive species on the planet, and will be the only cause to destruction of it.

Some of our own behaviours:

  1. Zoos (we have had Human Zoos)
  2. Killing to extinction
  3. Curiosity

Our species is way too different then other creatures on the planet. Especiall the Tall Whites.
Have we been lied to since so many years?
