can there be 'devolving' ? because it would still be the next step in the evolution line so it would have to be evolving just into a lesser being or something like that.

Re: Olympic 100 metres
Yes you are correct I was merely using the term to explain that evolution doesn't mean getting bigger and stronger, it means adapting to fit your enviroment, and this can actually mean getting smaller and weaker if necessary.Originally Posted by Doot

Size, strength, etc are not examples of progression, and we are certainly not evolving to be physically stronger and better, that's simply not happening.
Firstly according to the evolutionary timescale such changes would take tens of thousands of years and secondly we would be evolving in response to our enviroment and our enviroment,especially in the West hardly requires us to be any fitter and stronger than in times past, in fact it's the complete opposite.

Re: Olympic 100 metres
I havent followed track and field in years. I used to watch a lot sport but there is no coverage in my part of the world. Instead I get mens volleyball and table tennis.
Im glad the Olympics are going to be on at a decent time so I can actually try and watch some of the events live. I didnt watch a single game of the European Chamionships. Time difference was just too much.

Re: Olympic 100 metres
I think 'devolving' could probably be when like, a deer's antlers grow big to attract femals,,, but then the females keep rooting all the deers with the biggest antlers, and eventually the antlers grow to big for the deer to reach the ground to eat, and dies, so that would be bad.... mabe then after a long time they would have to go backwards and the women would find smaller antlers sexier... but then, that would be evolving still....can there be 'devolving' ? because it would still be the next step in the evolution line so it would have to be evolving just into a lesser being or something like that.

Re: Olympic 100 metres
The olympics is completely flawed if you ask me
you can train all your life, be the strongest physical athlete in modern sport and win a gold medal you worked all your life towards.
On the other hand you can have a decent shot or be a good angler and win 5 individual golds in different classes and categorys
