>genetic analysis wouldn't show the overlap of species and we would see jumps in philogenetic analysis

and that is neccesery but isnt isnt sufficient proof for 4.5 billion or whatever years.

Genetic theory predates evolution, Mendel started it but hereditary mechanisms were known for millenias.

>if you find a species such that no genetic background can be reasonable traced to another species

again, genetic similarity isnt sufficient proof.
all predictions of vestigialiarity of human organs failed.

>Feyerabend

that guy wasnt some intellectually dishonest college activist that SELECTIVLY called sci bs when it fits his agenda, like IQ group differences (that is why lefties apparently love Fey).
He guinly criticized bad phenoms in science and I havent heard one critique of IQ group difference testing from him.

>>11202385

and what seems to be the inconsistency there?

>>11203139

you live in a fantasy world. science stopped being about the pursuit of truth, now its goal is good PR for the customer paying for research.

>that's because adaptations don't actually happen, they're reproductive sortings

you mean environmental selection?
like high lactose tolerance in Scandinavians (since all humans have certain lactose tolerance)?

>>11195211
>scientists take care to note that natural selection doesn’t imply a purpose behind it or evolution is always towards something “better”

I understand, technically evolution doesnt have a "telos" but they never go by that, you always retroactively (!) claim smth as more primitive or about to go to the dustbin of history (wisdom teeth, human appendix, dinosaurs etc.). Like less complex organism turns into more complex in ALL evolutionary claims.

If they really stick to their rationale, they should allow for the possibility that human kind could revolve back into less complex primates, but they never do that since its always about progress (sure, they never explicitly claim it so my reqest of higher IQ is technically off point).

Effectively what adapts is "better" and you should be able to predict right now (proactivly!) what will be able to adapt (we should expect to move to more complex organism based on current claim of how things went in the past), but since evolution is based on constant semantic games and retroactive thinking I didnt actually refute anything.

Jokes on them in the end.

>normative

I knew you would go there, at least simple SCIENCE like IQ testing can clearly say that higher IQ is better, medicine can say that good health in humans consists of having 4 limbs, with evolution you cant even say how much limbs a human should have.

endless evolutionary semantic games, its such a great theory that you cant even define what is better or worse, a simple variable...

>>11194416
>intelligence is far more complicated than "optimal brain function"

you can predict the IQ based on ones DNA, its prime component is neural speed - better neural isolation ->faster brain signal -> higher IQ.

other than that, malnourishment in childhood kills IQ

intelligence=health=virtue

intelligence is nothing more than optimal brain function, dont drink milk as an infant and tell me how smart youll be.

maybe you are not smart enought to understand that evolution has no predictable value and that its actually retroactive mythology...unlike genuine theories.

oh, looks like Evolution went the other way and we became dumber to adapt, isnt Evolution brilliant, it controls our Mother Earth.
