an hero attempt

>>11426500
He couldn't find a gf.

To cross with the chicken!

>>11426500
To get to the other side.

>>11426502
did he find one?

>>11426500
imagine all the teenage "air parties" that such creatures used to have. must have been quite a novelty to hang around outside of water.

You must always kill them.

>>11426781
what

>>11426697
You're not gonna like the answer.
How come a tiktaalik can find one and you can't?

Die

>>11426500
Why he wouldn't do it, just look at his smugly face and tell me

>>11426697
Yes, otherwise we wouldn’t be here today.

It goes back further than that:
“The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.” --Douglas Adams

>>11426500
"Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans."
>a bad move

>>11426500
TO EAT THAT PUSSY ON SHORE

Because the sun is no longer a deadly lazer

>>11426500

>>11426500
It was a suicide attempt gone wrong

>>11426500

Because he was a dumb fish thing who didn't have any reason for doing anything and it probably just happened by pure chance

>>11426500
Why did you go to the kitchen, looked around and then went back to your room without getting food?

>>11426500
my ancestor :)

>>11426500
He was bullied by aquatic chads.

>>11426500
How can anyone believe this garbage?

Exactly ZERO experiments have been able to replicate biogenesis in the lab using primal soup earth conditions.

As such there is no rationale for believing life arose by itself, by going from self-replicating proteins to the first cell. Evolution by natural selection has a major flaw

>>11427490
>How can anyone believe this garbage?

Abiogenesis is the only option without invoking aliens, and where did the aliens come from? Just kicks the can down the road.

You’re making a big deal out of a gap in scientific knowledge. Those always exist, and they’re eventually filled. Just wait lazy cunt

>>11427123
Underrated

>>11427495
>they're eventually filled
proof?

>>11427490
The Miller-Urey experiment doesn't replicate abiogenesis but it provides strong circumstantial evidence for it. They proved that conditions on early Earth *could* give rise to complex organic molecules without any life being present. Then it's just a matter of chance that the right molecules happen to be in the same place at the same time in the right configuration. And the ocean is huge so I wouldn't be too hung up on the details at this point.

>>11427828
>strong circumstantial evidence
oxymoron

Baste suicidal time traveler. Misspelled for effect.

>>11426500
Hmmmm today I will... go on land for the first time.
*clueless*
>destroys the world in a technological singularity

>>11426916
Same reason you can just stick your penis inside of a mentally retarded girl with no issues.

>>11426500
Because he was bullied in fish school.

>>11429104
She's stupid but she's not retarded. Kinda makes it more difficult to forgive tho.

>>11429104
JF is that you?

>>11427490
Exactly ZERO experiments have been done on the creation of stars. Clearly, they must have just EXISTED

non tetrapods seething

>ear hole
Why do people do this shit? It looks retarded.

>>11430011
Cooking is retarded?
Ear hole? What? That's an alligator. Close enough. Are you okay Anon?

He didn't. He would die. Fish can't live outside the water so how is it possible for them to crawl on land? Why would they want to? Evolution cucks really need a reality check.

>>11430018
Are you okay? he means the guy's ear gauge

>>11427490
Abiogenesis and evolution by natural selection are two different things. Why is this so hard to understand?

Cos your mom asked him to come over

Pshhuh huhuhuhuhgh912 lol.

Guess I wasn't. Had to read you twice. Thanks for setting me straight.

To develop the ability to look back upon itself and transcend the limits of randomness. To make the fate of the universe not be a matter of chance, but of conscious choice.

>>11426501
So all land animals are descended from one suicidal fish? No wonder everything is so fucked up.

>>11427026
It was probably rape

>>11431827
this

>>11427490
Evolution and abiogenesis aren't the same thing, dipshit.

>>11430358
It's not hard to understand. Some people are just dumb.

>>11430363
Close, but not quite.
Mudskippers actually evolved their ability to breathe air more recently. Convergent evolution.

>>11431529
>So all land animals are descended from one suicidal fish?
No.
Tiktaalik was NOT suicidal. The ancestors of Tiktaalik had the ability to breathe air before Tiktaalik did. The ability to breathe air evolved long before the ability to walk on land did. There are actually a lot of fully aquatic animals that can breathe air, as this helps them survive in de-oxygenated water. For example, modern arowanas breathe air even though they do not have the right body shape for terrestrial locomotion.
Also, this was an entire species of fish, not a single individual.
>No wonder everything is so fucked up.
Technology and medicine will fix it eventually.

>>11431827
Tiktaalik probably reproduced via external fertilization. I doubt it was even capable of rape.

Question for evolutionary biologists

When we look at the phylogenetic tree of any species, we always see the name of a species at the end of one of the branches and go "oh yes, this one had a common ancestor with this other one here" and then point to where the branch veered off implying speciation.

The thing is, do we ever know what this common ancestor was? We always say, "this and this diverged from a common ancestor 5 million years ago" but do we ever know what that common ancestor was?

Is it not valid to say that that new species, through evolutionary time, became this new current species? Or do we always just say it was some different "common ancestor" that led to the more derived species?

Take, for example, whale evolution. Should I infer that basilosaurus and modern whales share a common ancestor that is unknown? Or would I be correct in saying that Basilosaurus is a more ancestral species of modern whales and eventually, through evolutionary time, became modern whales?

Like is basilosaurus a "transition" or the "common ancestor"? Know what I mean?

>>11432448
You know nothing, not even if the inferred speciation is real. In fact depending on what kind of sample you use and what tool you use you'll end up with completely different phylogenies. It's not that far off from astrology at this point.

>>11427828
It's much more complicated than your dismissive hand waving allows.

he was so worried about whether or not he could, that he didn't think about whether or not he should

>>11426500
here's the theory as i understand it
>shallow tide pools hold untapped food resources
>fish develop stubby, underdeveloped legs to reach these tide pools and take advantage of it
>eventually move further and further on to land to exploit resources

>>11427490
If we haven't been able to simply create life in a lab, by your logic wouldn't that mean that it's in fact more plausible that life hasn't been created in a lab somewhere by something and that it did arise naturally through incidental chemical reactions?

In any case, what's your counter proposal?

>>11432934
life has had billions of years to naturally stew, humanity has been trying to synthesize it for less than a hundred

>>11432938
Why are you giving me a (You)? I think we agree here. I want to talk to the guy who disagrees to figure out why.

>>11426500
NOOOOO! GO BACK!!! GO BAACK!!!

>>11426944
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?

>>11426710
it's just a fad, they'll come back to the water and run the family business

>>11426500
To get exclusive food

we can only speculate

Anyone have any more answers on this topic here?

Im just a brainlet but Hieldebrigansis is common among what can be considered homos. Ha ah ha.. (he said "homo") I'm pretty drunk too.
