That's just my understanding of evolution, I'm not an authority on it.
-
If that new sub species created through hybridisation was deemed by natural selection to be better suited to it's environment then yes in all likeliness it would outcompete the other subspecies. New subspecies would probably evolve from that through changes in their environment (due to migration etc) and hybridise amongst themselves in a continuous process of speciation. To my mind, hybridisation is supposed to occur. If the hybrids are not suitable for their environment then they will not become a subspecies. But the continuous hybridisation of a given group of subspecies provides diversi

Or just a massive EMP Hollywood style. But the knowledge would remain....... The infrastructure may take time to recover but the knowledge would remain.

Ermmm, I'd have to say yes. The dynamic of World power is constantly changing. Before I was purely speculating on a collapse caused through a similar mechanism to the dark ages etc where the technology was almost solely controlled by a more advanced society which fled for one reason or another.
-
Not the same situation. Our society is roughly as one, in these historic examples there was two societies living together, the technologically advanced one being the 'invader'. I think if in these examples there had been full social integration then the remnants of the original society would have retained the foreign skills and knowledge, partly through necessity having lost part of their own more primitive one.
-
I was about to say the same Malt. It wouldn't be unique in human history, where a vastly technologically superior society has left the lands (and their control) of a more primitive one to see it fall back to it's technologically primitive origins. I mean, look at the US when us Brits were ousted.....
-
Okay, that's fair enough. Yeah I'd say there has in our evolutionary history been plenty of homo hybridisation. Hybridisation on all possible levels is part of the evolutionary process in creating diversity in the gene pool to aid adaptation.
-
Part of defining species is how easily they can breed...... I can't think of any two different species that can breed as easily as human races. If you want to call them different species to push your agenda, fine, but from a biological/evolutionary view it's a hard one to push. Like I said, in any other species, human races would be more commonly referred to as sub species of the homo sapiens species. Many wouldn't even consider them different sub species. Africans and Europeans are as different as the greyhound is to the saluki.......... not fecking lions and tigers. LOL
-
Human species not races,Neanderthal and archaic sub Saharan Africans are not the same species,and not all Hybrids are infertile,they usually aren't very fertile but have a high sex drive to compensate,which may have been the thing that stopped females being killed/shunned by the men in the tribes,and allowed a our genes to mix slightly (one way or the other). Very true, but comparing human races, that produce fertile offspring easily due to the genetic similarity to a lion and tiger hybrid is ridiculous imo. Like I said, better to compare to something like domestic dog hybridisation.
-
Neems, a tiger and lion are completely different species, they produce infertile offspring. That's a poor comparison to human races. You'd be better off comparing domestic dog hybrids as a similar thought experiment....

How integrated in to Roman society were the native Britons? If they were not fully integrated and kept pretty much a separate, albeit harmonious, society then I see no reason for a very tribal people to take on Roman technology when they would have no need. Why reverse engineer plumbing systems when you shit and piss in the woods so to speak. It wasn't until the Germanic invasions that our ancestors left their iron age ways behind and began to develop more complex societies again, societies that leave a more significant mark in history.
-
That's my view too. As for the advocates, they are generally using architecture and carbon dating that suggests that the period we think of as bring 600-900AD actually never happened. Records from those periods do not seem to exist and architecture from 600AD is identical to 900AD, and in 300 years there is no variance, but there are also no other buildings 'recognised' as bring from between 600-900AD. Weird hu? Not all that weird at all mate, ain't 600-900ad roughly when the dark age took place? Its called the dark age because pretty much feck all happened once the romans left and all the

Whatever.

I can live with these late summers...

I'm 29 but I'll never forget the events of 1982. I'm shocked that anyone could be unaware of the reference. Its the most recent occasion of British territory being invaded. And one of our greatest military successes! I'm 26, but then everyone knows I'm a geek so the fact I got it probably would'nt suprise anyone, LOL.

Don't let that get in the way of a good bit of scaremongering MIK. All these youtube fracking experts.....
-
These Phantom Time 'advocates'..... are they like the flat world brigade? Or is there actually some scientific evidence to give it credibility? My opinion is that the absolute value we give to the present is completely arbitrary. It's the actual time line and sequence of events that is important.
-
Here we go again... LOL Get f***ing fracking! Sooner the better!
-
Aye he should have barked at it and the big pussy cat would have run away....ffs lol You've never seen big cats be chased off by humans then? They can be intimidated and when it's your only hope it's better than letting it figure out you are dinner.
-
You're probably right. If anyone wants to see an example of natural selection, click play!
-
Did it not occur to a single onlooker to throw so much as a f***ing flip flop at it? To me, he had one real chance there, he had to intimidate it from the start. It was very unsure initially, if he had made himself big a aggressive he might have bought himself a bit of time. Easy for me to say with hindsight though.
-
How vulgar! Of course, I'm very discrete about my own fleet of Astons. Real class should speak for itself you see, besides I only really take them out when I'm off to my grouse moor for the weekend or holidaying in the south of France.

f**k all, I'm very average at everything! LOL.

Apparently it's not that scarey... haha
