Hi Elham and all, So nice to hear from you again! I can see you have been quite productive today!:)
I was just thinking if I can vote for the member of the month,I will no doubt vote for either you or Oshiro!LOL It's extremely encouraging to have responsive members like you two around,isn't it,everyone?:) And by the way,where are you,Pablo and Josney?:) Raghu,what you said makes perfect sense to me! I smiled when I read your last sentence because it reminds me of what David Samoff said: 'Competition brings out the best in products and the worst in people.'LOL If the theory is controversial,it means that there are certain percentage of people feeling bitter being deprived,mistreated,cheated or fooled when what they want and what is lacking is fairness... Those endangered species aren't necessarily weak or small. Polar bears are in danger of extinction,too according to prediction of some scientists due to the climate change and global warming... My follow-up questions today are: A)In terms of human evolution,can you think of any factors which could influence the development of the human body? 1 Most humans no longer do hard manual work. 2 We use mechanical means of transport most of the time. 3 Men and women do the same work. 4 There's no danger of the human race dying out-in fact the world is over-polulated. 5 We wear clothes to keep us warm. 6 We travel a lot and live in many different climates. 7 We have to do a lot of reading and working with detailed material. 8 We operate complicated machines with our hands and feet. 9 We do not need to respond quickly to physical danger or crises. 10Most of our food is processed and does not require biting. B)How do you think these changes would affect the follwoing aspects of our lives: 1health 2longevity 3male/female relationships OK.I guess that's too much already! Looking forward to your conclusions! Thank you and nice weekend!
