Evolution and the Human Race
We think most of us are more or less exactly alike. The truth is there are differences, genetic differences, among populations of people. It makes me wonder if some scientist in the distant future finds the remains of two different races and they can be tested genetically will he think they were different branches of the human race? I only say this because this is what we are always hearing today when scientists find different remains. They never seem to consider the fact maybe humans were there but some genetic flaw in that population caused them to change. There is a theory we all came from Mars when the planet was dying and that is why humans seemed to appear so suddenly in the historic record. What if we did come from Mars and were the only intelligent life on the planet at the time but some of us evolved or even devolved making it seem there was some sort of family tree we evolved from? This would mean the entire theory of evolution concerning humans was flawed.
Why do some of us react one way to stimulus while others react a different way? Could this mean not every brain is wired the same way or is this because of the environment they were born into? I am discounting mental illness when I talk about this subject. To some of us certain actions are unthinkable, yet no matter how horrific they are others feel they are justified into committing them.
Humans are changing and some say they are evolving. Take our base temperatures for example. In the 1800s the average human temperature was 90.6 degrees. Not everyone had this body temperature, but most people did. Since that time the average temperature of a human body for men born in the 2000s had dropped 1.06 degrees. Women’s temperatures have dropped a little over .5 degrees. Doctors have said even with elderly people finding a temperature of 98.6 degrees would be unusual. One doctor expressed the idea temperatures were not dropping, the instruments to measure the temperatures have improved and are more accurate. Another doctor claims the only true measurement of body temperature is with a rectal thermometer, perish the thought. Still another believes there has been a world-wide decrease in inflammations and this is the reason for the temperature decline. As you can see, there is even a lot of disagreement between the dissenters.
There are many scientists who claim we are evolving and the speed of evolution is faster than ever. Is there any proof of this? When we look around the human race doesn’t seem to be any different then it was 200 years ago or longer. One expert said it is speeding up and he believes it is because of better health care and a bigger population base. Some experts are saying humans are growing apart from each other due to evolution. This also has its detractors and there are those experts who say we are not evolving. They base this on a study which backs up this theory. The issue is very confused, but I think there are a few people here and there who may have evolved a little more than the rest of us, but it is hard to tell.
There are a few people who seem to have amazing abilities. There is a man who seems to have evolved in memory power. He can draw a landscape of cities and anywhere else after just seeing it once. He is Stephen Wiltshire and was born in 1974. This is no trick. He is an artist who draws detailed city landscapes for a living. In 2006 he was awarded “Member of the Order of the British Empire” for his services to the art world. How can his brain remember a very complicated city scape after only seeing it for a very short period of time? Obviously, he has an unusual ability almost none of the rest of us have. Is this proof he is more advanced than us?
There is a Dutch man named Wim Hof, who’s body is much stronger regarding the cold than our bodies. He has the ability to endure extreme cold which would kill the rest of us. He developed a method of controlling breathing and says if we can control our bodies, they will be capable of incredible things. In other words, he is suggesting we have powers inside us which can be released. Mister Hof teaches these breathing techniques and the techniques are called the Wim Hot Method. Could we have evolved much further than we think and all we have to do is access those abilities? This was tested by a group of 26 hikers who used this technique. They were hiking up Mount Killmanjaro. It prevented AMS which is acute mountain sickness. It also has reversed the sickness in those who had it. It is said people who used the Wim Hof Method were able to treat inflammatory conditions and especially autoimmune conditions.
There is a Serbian man who seems to be resistant to high voltage electrical current. Biba Struja grew up in a small village. He can tolerate shocks of a million volts and store energy like a battery. He can then use this energy to do things like cook food. Hey who needs a stove or camp fire? A friend said he was with Struja when he first discovered his ability. They were working on power lines and Struja received a massive shock. It didn’t bother him. His wife commented her husband was just born that way. Was he an advancement on our evolution?
Speaking about Serbian men, Nikola Tesla was Serbian American. Some believe he was far beyond not only the humans of his day, but beyond the humans today. His brain was thinking about solving problems of things before they were even invented. It was like solving flight dynamics problems with some planes before they were built. The man was an incredible genius, the type who are born only once or less in a century. One had to wonder if he would have had children what they would have been like. One has to wonder if eventually some of his DNA was gotten from his corpse when DNA was first introduced.
It looks like we might not have evolved anymore, but it also looks like with the increased population density there are more chances for this. Some of these people do have very unusual powers. Will all humans have these powers in the future, or do they all have them now but don’t know how to get to them.
