Gravity is the word that describes the effects. That's not debatable, as you're not defining something that would be seen. The existence of gravity particles, or whatever the hell they're looking for, would be the debatable part. | |

You are correct, of course, that these are (currently) merely modern scientific interpretations and hypotheses. We have a plethora of evidence for natural, sexual, competition, etc. -- all of which is generally associated with evolution as a whole. The only people who claim to know 100% where life came from are the religious. As I said before, it's currently a matter of likelihood: 1: A self replicating molecule developed from the building blocks of life and over the course of 4 billion years evolved into all the life we see on Earth today. 2: An omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent deity created the origins of life (very likely a similar being to the above self-replicating molecule) and used evolution over a 4 billion year period to create all the life we see on Earth today. | |

![]() I was ready to be shocked that only 2 of the contestants believe in evolution, but frankly they're only women.
"Campanella affirmed that evolution should indeed be taught in schools because she believes in evolution of humans throughout time." No, what you believe, as in what your personal opinion is, has nothing to do with whether or not we should teach something in schools. Evolution is taught, rightfully so, in school because of the mountains of evidence supporting it as scientific fact. |

![]() 1.5-2 million years ago untill 12-10,000 years ago the agricultural revolution
People started hunting large ungulates, or hoofed mammals. They were very dedicated to hunting, and it was an important part of their subsistence. You cannot have alpha males if you are going to have a hunting team that shares the meat fairly even-handedly, so that the entire team stays nourished. In order to get meat divided, you have to stomp on hierarchy and get it out of the way. Selection pressure against alpha-males huge for 2 million years, then it flipped 10,000 years ago? Heard something about this on the (zomg socialist BBC) radio the other day but can't find what it was. |
