Olympic 100 metres

[Kev]

Of course it is evolution, the human body can only take so much training, take boxing, they say the optune amount is 3 months of hard core training, u do to much you will fuck your self up.

Yes there are better ideas and such from 100 years ago, but science and diets haven't greatly changed for top flight athlets in a while, records continue to be broken and will do so for 100s of years to come, not because of diets, or training tips, because of evolution baby

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The modern scientific view is that humans far from developing better physicality are 'devolving' due to our less stressful, more sedentary lives.

As we no longer have to hunt for our food and cover great distances each day, as we now live in cities full of pollutants and toxins, as we live increasingly sedentary lives our evolutionary scientists believe we are deteriotating physically not improving.

You clearly have no idea of how evolution works. If you go and look at scientific papers and thesis describing how humans will look in the future we are heading in the opposite direction because we no longer need to be so physcially active to live our lifestyles.

When we can get our dinner off a super market shelf and our water from a tap 5 meters from our lounge why on earth would our bodies evolve and adapt to become physically more able?

The eact opposite effect is occuring, and that's ACCORDING TO SCIENCE!!!

dude science goes back on it's self all the time - you say we are deteriotating? how? what proof is there of that? the average hight still increases, physical records keep getting broken, sure there are new things out there to kill us, mainly coz we let to many 3rd worlders in our countries to spread the shit.

and fuck man i work a full time job lol i don't got time to be fannying about looking up papers on every topic i wanna talk about when im bored and out of vodka, come on buddy

The average height is only increasing in the Western World and in the last couple hundred years as a direct result of diet Preme. Evolution supposedly occurs over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years there is simply no way for evolution to evolve better people in just a couple hundred years, I repeat better Olympic performance has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with evolution and any scientist would agree with me, God has nothing to do with it, it's just evolution doesn't work that way.

Furthermore evolution doesn't mean that things improve and get better, it means that organisms adapt and change in response to enviromental factors so that the organism is best suited to its enviroment.

The best and fittest humans lived thousands of years ago. Neanderthal man was more muscular, had bigger brains ( bigger cranial capacity), better coordination and were physcially stronger than us. They needed to be because they lived in a very harsh enviroment.

In todays world each race is suited to their enviroment. Blacks are more muscular, have less bodyfat and more more stamina endurance than whites to cope with the harsher living conditions in Africa. These changes took thousands of years however which is why African Americans are still black after a few generations living in the US and why white generations of people stay white in South Africa for example, these changes take a long time.

In the Western world we are not evolving better physical bodies as we simply do not need them. Why in the world would an organism evolve and adapt in a way in which was completely opposite to the needs of its enviroment?

If there was a holocaust and man once again had to brave harsh enviroments, make long journeys for food, shelter and safety and lived in a physically harsh enviroment then humans would adapt accordingly. Whilst we live in an enviroment of plenty, where there are no predators, no physical demands upon our bodies like in times past then we simply will not evolve better and more physically stronger bodies.
