Trevorum Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Speaking only for myself, I am very, very glad that each and every one of my ancestors successfully reproduced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrentAllen Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Traditionally, this used to be around the end of National Boy Scout Week, which was the week that covered February 8 and 12. Belated Happy Birthday to the BSA (Feb. 8). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGreyEagle Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Certainly our ancestors reproduced, the question is, have we evolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorum Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well, I don't know about you OGE, but I haven't skinned MY knuckles lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packsaddle Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Both men had a huge influence on the future. Happy birthday indeed. On that sentiment I finally watched the film 'Expelled' with Ben Stein as the kick off for Darwin week. It lived up to every one of my expectations. OGE, I'd say that we have evolved, considering especially that evolution doesn't necessarily lead to anything other than the best fit to habitats of the time. However, I guess that if you were implying 'improved' when you asked about 'evolved', who knows? There are still a lot of knee injuries out there. On the other hand, we've invented some mighty nice prosthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
