Life

[Moontanman]

What I am saying is simple single cell life either got stuck in evolution or formed after the original formation. It may be right on schedule if one assumes a more abbreviated evolutionary schedule. Those little guys make new cells all the time. Calculate the mutations for 1 billions years. How do they avoid this impulse for major change and stay simple?

 

All I am doing is using Darwinism and selective advantage. What is the advantage of staying close to the beginning of evolution? If there is an advantage to not evolving very far, selective advantage can also mean very slow evolution or no evolution at all.

 

One possible way to explain it, is evolution is a group event. In other words, there is always a bell curve of evolution with the sideline critters of the curve offering logistical support for life forms closer to the top of the curve. The simple stuff stays stuck so it can continue to offer logistical support for the money area of the evolutionary curve.

 

It could also be that environmental conditions stopped life from becoming more complex. Too hot or even too cold restricts complex life on the Earth. At long as tempertures stayed above (I think) about 45 degrees C complex life could not evolve. Only after cooling oceans, a slow down in impact events, and oxygen in the atmosphere could complex life develop.
