Common Evolution Magic Tricks Exposed

* Man did not decend from the ape
* Godzilla can not evolve from nuclear waste
* Neither Apes nor Primates can (again) evolve to the smarts of The Planet Of The Apes
* humans can not grow new arms from nuclear waste as in planet of the apes 17, and Total Recall
* Even Science Fiction can hardly read the genes of two living dinosaurs from the gene map of just one.

Hollywood,
markets mutations as the tiny little gene sourcerers of Nature.

It is not clear whether the film makers are ignorant,
or are just greedily uneducational.

The Cows are Dancing Into The Slaughterhouse

Go see for yourself.

Douglas Adams can easily make fun of Evolution so well
for the same reason Woody Allen and Mel Brooks
do it to the Jews.

Douglas Adams is part of the community,
and he understands it well.
He can easily make a convincing argument:

Lets pretend you are a cow.

If you are a trouble maker,
the farmer will want to eat you when you are young,
so that you won't make trouble for too long.

Since the farmer wants you dead sooner or later,
if you actually want to die,
this means you are well behaved,
and the farmer can eat you some other day.

Wanting to die will keep you alive.

If the farmer has a nack for dancing cows,
like some Horse breeders do,
then if you are a slighly more of a dancing cow than the rest,
you will be liked, survive, and leave baby cows
with dancing genes.

Those youngsters who do not dance as well,
will have to be eaten sooner so that you can stay
alive while the farmer is not hungry.

Pretense aside,

the genes that will be passed on to the next
generation are those of the better Slaughterhouse dancers,
even if everyone at first -
some 30 thousand years ago -
they all danced violently out and away.

This type of domestication over many generations is termed Artificial Selection.
