Aquatic Ape Hypothesis
Leo40:
I am curious to know why we spend time discussing "evolution"
of the physical human. It is my understanding from reading the
cass. material that the human body was constructed, i.e. bio-engineered,
using parts from all species available on the planet at that time.
This can be seen in the developement of the foetus.
Furthermore most humans were imported from elsewhere,
Please correct me if I am misunderstanding.

How do we know that a major part/element of this "construction" process was not evolutionary in nature? After all, we are talking about hyperdimensional interactions where a tweak is made here and there, and the machine is set to run ...
Path27:
This reminds me of the following quote:
--- Quote ---Q: (L) I have tried to imagine a planet full of people of pure
Aryan types, or purified Celtics, and it is difficult to
imagine what such a culture would be like. Is there
anything that we can look at, literary or otherwise, that
would give me a concept of what this culture or society
could have been like?
A: Search Japan and the Bahamas.
Q: (L) What?! What do Japan and the Bahamas have in common?
A: See for yourself. Remember, learning is fun and
energizes. Spoonfeeding sessions do little for you.

Could the connection between Japan and the Bahamas be as simple as both of them being insular areas surrounded by water? Books like Where Troy Once Stood and Cataclysm of The Gods by Hugh Fox indicate that Europeans had a real affinity for the sea -- maybe that's a cultural holdover that goes back longer than people have guessed. If Kantek was a really watery planet, maybe that's why chunks of ice and fish occasionally fall out of the sky (like Charles Fort records). And if one part of human evolution happened there, maybe it provided a very marine environment where these kinds of adaptations could have occurred?

I may be off track here but are we not in a sense 'evolving' by implementing a paleo diet. The agricultural way of life was taught over many centuries and in a way people devolved, I think, in mental and physical health. So in reverting back to the paleo foods our body chemistry, DNA, etc. is in a way evolving too.Through clearer thinking and healthier more immune bodies who know what we may become in future.Just my few brief thoughts.

It is most likely a combination of both: natural evolution and the occasional
"tweak". Unfortunately it is very difficult to find evidence of diversion or
interference with natural evolution due to the time scale (ca. 300 000 years)
and all the intervening catastrophes.
