This is a common depiction of evolution: Some of the more obvious changes are: - increased vertical size - increased brain size - more upright - less hair. Perhaps those are all positives. On the negative side: - loss of strength (humans are much weaker than most monkeys) - need for clothes and shelter - children cannot survive without support for at least a decade in most climates - loss of use of the feet as hands. So what evidence might there be of devolution? - loss of brain size compared with Neanderthals and the giant humanoids of which many remains exist - weak eyes that do not work well in bright light or at night - loss of ancient technologies such as used for megaliths - worldwide legends of superior beings, many of which interbred with humans, therefore being the same species - widespread existence of giant animals in the past - as if all the mammals shrank

i was gonna post a video earlier that has just been release that shows a monkey displaying reaction to humor which i believe was a common human only trait when looking at the monkey it seems to show a deeper intelligence coming online tho this is speculation ....
paul i belive a possible reason for mans devoultion in certain aspects has to do with him seperating himself with the spirits of nature mineral plant kingdoms...also factoring diet of consuming various dna of species from unknown origin may have caused certain devolving factors..

>consuming various dna of species from unknown origin
So you are what you eat?
Certainly the New Zealand Maori would eat the hearts of slain brave warriors in order to transfer the courage.
And there are many accounts of personality transfer associated with organ transplant.
When I was young, we occasionally were fed stewed sheep brains - Baa!

I am aware that heart transplant patients often take on some of the characteristics of the person whose heart that have adopted. This is a fact, I believe.

"A new study on Homo naledi, the extinct human relative whose remains were discovered in a South African cave and introduced to the world last month, suggests that although its feet were the most human-like part of its body, H. naledi didn't use them to walk in the same way we do. Analysis of 107 foot bones indicates that H. naledi was well adapted for standing and walking on two feet, but that it also was likely comfortable climbing trees." www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/10/151006131938.htmIs modern man devolved from humanoids that could easily retreat into the trees?

That's a very interesting website suggested above. The whole subject of ancestry, DNA and genetics is very complex as is the origin of humanity. I believe that extraterrestrials had a role in the origin of some human species and were in possession of a great wealth of knowledge of genes and DNA.

That's an interesting point. There may be an Atlantean influence somewhere.

It turns out that the earliest trees were the most complex. "Rather than the tree laying down one growth ring under the bark every year, each of the hundreds of individual strands were growing their own rings, like a large collection of mini trees. As the strands got bigger, and the volume of soft tissues between the strands increased, the diameter of the tree trunk expanded. The new discovery shows conclusively that the connections between each of the strands would split apart in a curiously controlled and self-repairing way to accommodate the growth. ... Co-author of the study Dr Chris Berry, from Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, said: "There is no other tree that I know of in the history of the Earth that has ever done anything as complicated as this. The tree simultaneously ripped its skeleton apart and collapsed under its own weight while staying alive and growing upwards and outwards to become the dominant plant of its day. "By studying these extremely rare fossils, we've gained an unprecedented insight into the anatomy of our earliest trees and the complex growth mechanisms that they employed. "This raises a provoking question: why are the very oldest trees the most complicated?"" www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/10/171023182615.htm

"Axolotl, a Mexican amphibian salamander, has the largest genome ever sequenced: 32 billion base pairs! That's 10 times the size of the human genome." How can such an apparently minor creature have 10 times the genetic structure of a human? "the axolotl amphibian salamander from Mexico is famous for ... being able to regrow those appendages if they get cut off, including bones, muscles and nerves. If the axolotl is wounded, it can heal without a scar. This amazing creature can even regenerate its own damaged internal organs. And if something crushes its spinal cord, the axolotl can restore its spinal cord to full function....They are one thousand times more resistant to cancer than mammals. " How did the axolotl get such wonderful capacities but not humans? I am reminded that the Sumerian god EA (creator of humans) gave Adapa (first man) wisdom but not immortality. Human frailty may be a deliberate policy. www.nature.com/articles/nature25458

Most fascinating paul Curious as this animal has been on earth long enough that it has adapted through many cycles and planetary motions Humans to this date are born and have a hard time walking and stabilizing itself at birth compared to other life forms native to this planet.

Many animals can stand after a couple of hours. No doubt there is some survival benefit in waiting a year before humans can walk.

No doubt there is some survival benefit in waiting a year before humans can walk. That is odd isnt it? I think it shows that having hands with thumbs outweighed the ability to walk at a earlier age in our genetic growth. 2 legs instead of 4. Monkeys do take some time to also walk, but they are also designed to be able to partially walk with their arms. Whats interesting to me about this is that it shows (more or less) that the mind influenced the genetic path as much as the body. It would make sense though as what our mind produces has physical responses. My final thought is as always with that monkey to man picture. Which is: if we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?

I think there are not enough players in your scenario.
> if we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
Is the question still valid if monkeys descended from humanoids?

> it shows (more or less) that the mind influenced the genetic path as much as the body I think there are not enough players in your scenario. Can you elaborate pls? Do we have something to concretely indicate either? Are monkeys gonna grow into humans in 500K years and vice versa? There is genetic studies revealing that humanoids and monkeys share over 90% DNA but not the gene. Which would be more like how we use our structure in similar ways, sharing the closest design but not genetics. Here is the study link . So would this indicate perhaps the genetic shape was merely where it had formed on Earth? As in the biosphere organisms evolved in, made some more alike than others.

>Can you elaborate pls? Consider whether there are entities without dense physical bodies. What roles might they play in managing the Earth with its repeated evolutionary explosions and extinctions. >Do we have something to concretely indicate either? As far as I know, all proposed evolutionary trees for all species have missing links. The situation is so bad that scientists are abandoning the notion of a tree. "“It seems that interbreeding between different early hominin species is not the exception — it’s the norm,” said Omer Gokcumen, assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Buffalo. Gokcumen tested the DNA of humans living in Sub-Saharan Africa and found genes which were “wildly different from versions found in other modern humans”." www.news.com.au/technology/science/evolution/ancient-humans-had-sex-with-a-mysterious-species-scientists-discover/news-story/98a3777913d097582a45de9041b7860a>the genetic shape was merely where it had formed on Earth? There is a view that humans have not observed any evolution on this planet, merely the unfoldment of pre-existing genetic material

a early hominid species having intercourse with a female human species....if they are both living off the same diet and generate the same thoughts of procreation during intercourse a rare chance this may result in a crossbreed birth....also if certain botanical plants are thrown into the mix such as mandrake and belladonna i can see how the hypnotic and psychoactive effects could stimulate further possibility of conception during such acts of bestiality

> early hominid species
Is there an assumption about the relative state of hominids? The Neanderthals had noticeably larger brains than current humans. How did that happen?
There are so many different hominids being found that it strains belief to consider that they all evolved here.

There might be many issues to consider on that point and I suspect that secrets are kept hidden.
