It goes like this, predator kills and eats herbivore and over generations the brain gets bigger from the high value protiens, w/o which for example chimps wouldn't have reached their current stage (not far off the missing link)
The obvious case is humans. It is our cooperation, our ability to wok as a team, go beyond basic mammalian thinking (because of our naturally-selected intelligence) that has made us the dominant species on thet planet.
You done yet?
Ok ok fine, everything is good, had a great night last night, it's not me, it's you. You're being an annoying cunt. Ok? Ok.
Tom possibly more so and affects my opinion of you as well.
You're just a trolling dickhead Tohtori. You know nothing. Why don't you fuckoff?
Evolution is a process without any plan - intelligence is not the aim of evolution and is largely an accident - many creatures that dominated the earth for far longer than we will were dumb.
We cooperate out of selfishness because we can obtain a better standard of living as a society - no more no less. If factors changed and didnt favour society it would break up overnight.
Oh yei! Have you met kettle yet? You've contributed nothing but trolling insults to this thread. You might actually be worse then Scouse, he atleast has something to say
Sorry, that was the wrong thing to say, you definetaly are worse.
Call my contributions what you will, at least they bear some semblance to the truth. If only one could say the same about anything you've written, ever.
Punishment said:Yes but consuming protiens is part of higher brain development which is why survival of the fittest comes into play
Scouse said:Altruism exists. The "selfishness" model is overly simplistic IMO.
More potkettle comments and false accusations, keep going, you're doing really well there.
Don't understand why you two can't just put me on ignore if i bother you so much.
A million monkeys at a million typewriters will, at some point, write something of note.
In humans? Altruism generally feeds a persons self image and thus is a selfish drive.
In this reality the simple solution is generally the correct one.
