If evolution is real then why:
1) are some people still ugly as fuck
2) humans break out in acne, one would think we would do away with this long ago
3) most humans are dumb
4) humans require food to make energy
5) humans smell
6) humans still can't grow wings and fly
7) humans have no long strong tail for extra help with holding stuff
and the list goes on

[Anonymous No.4238946]

Because you don't understand evolution.

[Anonymous No.4238950]

You believe science is basically magic. Which for /sci/ is probably true.

So much this, why are you shittying up this board with your complete lack of competence?

[Anonymous No.4238956]

If evolution is real then why:
>1) are some people still ugly as fuck
Not enough selection pressure to significantly reduce reproduction rates of ugly people
>2) humans break out in acne, one would think we would do away with this long ago
Again, not enough selection pressure. Just because something is undesirable by humans doesn't mean nature will make an extra effort to get rid of it.
>3) most humans are dumb
See above.
>4) humans require food to make energy
What else would we use?
>5) humans smell
See above
>6) humans still can't grow wings and fly
Similar answer as the one above except replace 'undesirable' with 'desirable'
>7) humans have no long strong tail for extra help with holding stuff
Well we evolved out of a tail and there have been no selection pressures to grow it back.

Anything else?

[Anonymous No.4238959]

>>4238956
How would one grow back the tail?

[Anonymous No.4238965]

>>4238959
Genetic mutations causing one to have a tail in the first place, then that guy having tons of babbies, and those babbies having tons of babbies.

As an aside, I wanted to remark on the ugly people thing. I blame people with low standards. The people who post "2/10, wouldn't fuck" in an attempt to mock those with high standards are the reason there is no selection pressure to rid the Earth of ugly people.

[Anonymous No.4238972]

but >>4238965 -san, it's all about the love and feeling between the two, not the looks.

[Anonymous No.4238980]

>>4238972
And you can take those love and feels to the bank, where the cashiers are ugly people, and is cleaned by ugly janitors who go home to their ugly wives and make sweet passionate love creating ugly little children, who are taught by ugly teachers, that are reprimanded by ugly principals that report to their ugly board members controlled by a government of ugly politicians who serve and ugly populace that is unaware of the fact that they are being manipulated by corporations with ugly CEOs.

Beauty and intelligence are not mutually exclusive, in fact research suggest that they actually correlate quite strongly:

[Anonymous No.4239002]

I know this is a troll thread, but acne is actually pretty interesting, since it is likely a biproduct of recent evolution. As it turns out our superfluously oversized sebum glands, a legacy from a hairier past, just happen to be an ideal environment for the acne virus, which has since evolved along with us to make itself even more at home.

Evolution does not have set goals. Ugly, smelly, stupid, and acne ridden people still reproduce. People have shit standards and doesn't care if they're turning the genepool into a cesspit with their shitgenes.

>are some people still ugly as fuck
Because beauty has only recently become the concern of the majority, previously only the rich could afford it.
>humans break out in acne, one would think we would do away with this long ago
It doesn't harm our chances
>most humans are dumb
All is relative.
>humans require food to make energy
Conservation of energy.
>humans still can't grow wings and fly
Have you been to an airport recently? We grew them with our brains.
>humans have no long strong tail for extra help with holding stuff
We don't need them.
