About Me

Who are The Semi-Evolved Simians?
Well, to answer the question as bluntly as possible, we all are semi-evolved simians! Every living human being today is a semi-evolved simian, as well as every chimp, every gorrila, every orangutang, every bonobo, every babboon, and every monkey (spider monkeys not excluded).
To the over-reactionary type, this statement might tug on a few strings that don't want tugging, and sounds like it lends to the idea that we are unevolved and stupid creatures. How far from the truth this hastey reaction is!
First off, how could anyone see our world and see our technologies and fain the idea that we haven't evolved, because we most certainly have, but there is a catch to evolution that not very many human beings want to respect, as has been demonstrated time and time again, in almost every aspect of our culture (human culture, not American culture).
What human being isn't taught that the Homo Sapien Sapien is the most evolved animal living on the planet today...so evolved even that some schools of thought (or systems, rather) want to pronounce our species as not being an animal at all and that "we ourselves" should place ourselves outside of this realm. And we think that not beliving in a god is blasphemy!!! THIS KIND OF THINKING IS BLASPHEMY!!
None the less, we are highly evolved and specilized creatures, but here is the detrimental catch! We are highly evolved, yes, but have we finnished evolving? Certainly not! There is no cap to any species' evolutionary progression until it's species exists no longer (yes, goes extinct!). sure a certain animal might be totally specialized for its nitch in nature, but there are always external forces working and until that species goes extinct it will never stop evolving. And if it hasn't stopped evolving what does that make it? Semi-Evolved. Of course! And are we an extinct species? Certainly not! have we finnished evolving? Certainly not! are we fully evolved? Certainly not......
We are all Semi-Evolved Simians!!!
Like I said in the beginning of this stupid bio. thanks for playin'
Alternative theories of the origin of human diversity
The so-called "Candelabra Theory" of regional continuity (left) suggests that diversity among extant human populations arose originally from within Homo erectus and has continued over several million years, with some exchange of genes (arrows). The "single origin" theory suggests that all extant populations stem from a relatively recent, probably African, population. Molecular evidence strongly favors the latter theory, with a common ancestor of all living humans at ~250,000 YBP

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/12/2006
Band Website: fuckyourcivilizedass.com
Band Members: Constable Lindy plays Guitars and makes noises that to some may sound like a dog barking, to others, the sweet bubbling of a mother's womb...your momma!......I mean your choice, yeah, thats what I mean.

Governor Piddlepants smokes the free-bass and backs up the constable's swanky croon, that is, of course, when he is not piddling his pants, which are actually more often sweaters and T-shirts than actual pants. Piddlepants doesn't know anything about the wearing of pants, he just thinks the name sounds funny. fucking Goof!

Commandante Knuckledragger beats on things whether they are part of a drumset or not, most of the time we try to stick a drum, or something of that nature, in front of him. The funny thing about knuckledragger is that he is the most evolved one of us all, being a Homo Erectus (one of the most important predecendetnts to modern homo sapien sapien), and yet he is by far the most ape-like. This of course should be the constable's domain for he is one of the farthest removed human ansestor, Australopithecus aferensis. wierd, eh?

Dogs like to bark to eachother from their respective back yards a lot. Sometimes it's rewarding to imagine what they are saying to eachother, like they might be saying, "Hey! I'm over here!" "...
