*Firstly if you dont believe in evolution do not read this thread, just leave now...this thread is not for debating evolution so dont post anything of that sort*
ok, so now everyone reading this knows evolution does occur...now as life evolves further the species, generally, become more and more complex...from single celled organisms to now humans...so i ask as humans continue to evolve what will the next new species be like... actually humans have figured out how to create new species in the lab...we can actually add an extra chromosome to any species...for instance if this extra chromosome was placed in a human he/she would have 48 chromosomes (you normally have 46, but you must have pairs)...these chromosomes can actually survive meiosis and be passed to offspring...as you must know if you read this far, species are divided based on speciation (whether they can or cannot successfully breed)...since all dogs can breed they are the same species, since we cant breed with monkeys we are different species...and so if two 'humans' mate, one with 46 and the other with 48 chromosomes speciation cannot occur, therefore the two are actually two different species...i just threw that in because we actually can generate the 'next' species if we wanted too, but the moral issue of course gets in the way... so what do you think the next species will be like...and i know that evolution takes thousands and millions of years, but the question sparked my curiosity and i thought maybe it would do the same for some of you |
