[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundjata: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by astenb: [qb] [QUOTE] Same difference. You 'adapt' by evolving. "evolution" has no preference anyway. In many ways Neanderthals were more evolved or "derived" than modern humans (in terms of physical characteristics and life history) but they're extinct. They evolved but couldn't adapt. [/QUOTE]Not really arguing about the idea simply the terminology. When people say "Evolve" they usually think of "progress". Therefore if object "A" "evolves" more than object "B" people will usually think object "A" is superior to "B". "Adaptation" is a better idea because the two can be superior in their own environment but equal when compared against each other. I guess its more politically correct and something I have trained myself to say when talking about human evolution. I can think of all the racist overtones that are brought into play when folks start talking about how "Evolved" a certain group is VS. another group that may be older or more sedentary. [/qb][/QUOTE]I understand completely, hence my point about the Khoi-San. [/QB][/QUOTE]
