Furthermore, most potential mutations have never been observed. Ive never worked with human genetics but Im pretty sure that I once observed a mutation in a population of rodents because it wasnt present in the fairly large sample I collected in one year but was there in one juvenile individual fro...

@farran34 I still disagree. So cloned fetuses are not human and may be slaughtered? When humans are cloned they will not be human an have no rights according to you. And stem cells will have "potential humanity" but not be considered human. One example is whether or not the identity of the cloned f...

@metis For what it's worth I've been actively performing bioinformatics research since 2010 and fairly recently left my position using ancestral reconstruction to study the role of kinase proteins in the origins of multi-cellular life at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. I'm well aware of t...

The truth value of the premise is compromised by the ambiguity in the definition of the world "human." Human: a member of the species Homo sapiens . This is the genetic definition and is pretty clear-cut. You''re not really providing a genetic definition at all. This definition depends on a genetic...

I see his answer as conveying my point, but maybe Im wrong, or maybe its both. What Im debating is wether your premises are based off of sound logic and follow a logical flow, which they dont. How is this not sound logic: premise 3: Any argument attempting to determine when a being becomes a human ...

Traits are evolved by chance and are conserved if they confer an advantage. Its easy to fall into the trap of teleological thinking where evolution is concerned. One of the hardest things to get new biology students to understand is that evolution by natural selection doesnt occur with a purpose in...

A mutation doesnt stick around because it provides a benefit. It sticks around if it doesnt kill you or fuck you over so badly that you never get to reproduce. The acquisition of traits isnt an optimization phenomenon' the selection, however, is. Do I literally have to spell out every little detail...

Ok.. And I cant help you if you cant grasp the difference I mean between ethical and logic in a more literal sense And no, I wont, becaus youre the one who is making faulty statements about the general belief in the thread. Go read it yourself. Any statement on what is right or wrong is involves ph...

Fair enough, but you have said they evolve because of the benefits provided by the evolution. There is no foresight in evolution so any allusion to it is inappropriate in an argument from an evolutionary perspective. A mutation doesnt happen because its going to provide a benefit, rather, said muta...

I saw something very intriguing while cruising threw newest first on imgur today. It was a screenshot of some guy''s hypothetical test/argument on abortion. It went roughly as follows: I''m holding a baby in one hand and a petri dish holding an embyro in the other. I am going to drop one. You have ...

Then reread both the posts. Traits do not evolve out of need, it is antithetical to central dogma of molecular biology and is semblant of intelligent design arguments. I never said that traits evolve out of need.......... Fair enough, but you have said they evolve because of the benefits provided b...

Also, the evolution-because-of-need argument fails to acknowledge that most mutations are not beneficial to the organism in which they first present. Many times, they are extremely detrimental and the organism survives simply on the basis of being "good enough." This is more prevalent in species wit...

I think one things needs to be clarified here. The reason why sex is pleasurable is so that humans will do it to reproduce. The primary goal of sex is not to be pleasurable, but to produce offspring. From an evolutionary standpoint, it became pleasurable so that humans would reproduce more, as we w...

I suppose this is more what I was getting at.

I see, basically the behavior is nonsensical at the extrema of the domain. This type of observation isnt necessarily rare and typically a new set of rules are explored around the edge cases. In a hand wavy way it may have to do with rules only being applicable at certain orders of magnitude. Im not...

This is why the faster you go, the more you need to look ahead. I never drive fast if I cant actually see the road ahead, even if I know it well. In small French roads, I could have already killed a few people had I been driving 20-30 km/h faster. Eyes on the road, always. This just happened to me ...

There are negative temperatures. m Sorta a little bit. Kinda a stretch to me though. If you define temperature the way they defined it, it exists I guess. A more common definition of temperature is that it related to the energy of what has that temperature, in which negative temperature would imply...

I suggested leading ATP on Portugal 4 or 5 years ago and I was laughed out of my own thread.

I''m not talking about treaty. 40v at 6min-6min30 isn''t viable since it means you will have your first 10 units at 7min but you can have 35v at 6min30 which is perfectly viable. I''m more poking at the how ill-conditioned the question is by providing extreme solutions. I would never do a Settler W...

A more appropriate name would be Simulated Neural Networks' it's just a solution finding algorithm based on the mathematical representations of how neurons turn each other on and off. People call them "Black Box Equations" sometimes because although what you put in and what you get out looks right, ...

If you're thinking of this as a situation where you're not expecting to get pressured, maybe even 10 minute treaty, then probably the Dutch or British due to their discovery boom power or the Germans if they can start pumping out settler wagons with a fast fortress.
