If its allready been addressed. then I allready answered it.
Go back read the thread.
This topic has been spoon fed to you.
You really expect me to fall for a troll.

Because we are in fact special. If you watch Lloyd Pyes video you would also learn that we have over 4000 gross defects in our genes where maybe 40 would be a normal amount.
So wait, you're talking about things like the resistance to malaria gene that developed recently? That one causes sickle-cell anemia if both parents have it. That's not genetic defect. All creatures have some form of genetic disease that can spread this way. It is not unique to humans. Why do you always seem to think humans are so darned special?

It might be a tad difficult to express what I'm exaclty looking for in a human other species relationship.
So here are some things I look at.
Are the mites dependant on us to the point that they might die or suffer without our existance? No.
Would we suffer? NO.
Do they depend on us for anything? Not that I'm aware of.
Are we the only thing you find them on? No.
It was a good shot but there doesn't seem to be anything special in our relationship with them.

Did you not watch Lloyd Pye's human genetics?
What a complete fracking idiot. You tell me I typed or misunderstood your words and then repeated the exact same garbage.
First of all I never said that. You either typed it wrong or missunderstood. What I said was there are over 2 dozen genes in us that wont allow us to live past puberty. Now if your too dense to consider autosomal domminance, thats your problem.
Means no one without medical intervention would ever live long enough to breed. This means the bushman should not be here and infact because vaccines are recent humanity should not be here. That does not mean he does not belong that means if a species fails to breed it becomes extinct you numpty. And you have the cheek to call me dense.

Well you see. It has nothing to do with positive or a negative relationship. A relationship that you asked for originally can be either or even both which shows your lack of understanding on every subject you comment on.
We don't have what I would consider any type of positive relationship with wolves. Do you watch to many movies, what is it man. You just have this thing about being buddy buddy with animals. The next time you spot a wolf, expose yourself to it, and lets see how well that goes for you.
Yes that old formula. The more you cannot answer you try to claim you cannot read or the gramma is wrong.
Well you might have won every argument, but if I could only understand it if it were in english.
So now make a reasoned argument against my post showing all the things we have in common with ants. Do not use ants are natural, we are not. That is a statement not an defence of your stance and so not acceptable as a reply in a discussion.
OMG colin, for the third time, Ants are from earth, I never said they weren't.
Before I waste my time discussing this with you. Explain, in your words not a cut and paste what part autosomal dominance plays in the bushmans survival. This appears to be a field you are schooled in and should be very interesting.
Colin for the third time again your overlooking autosomal domminance. You need to read up on that man.
Nope. As soon as I read it I thought. 'Oh dear the ignorant trolling lump has found a new diversion tactic. My question to you is do you think no one else knows what it is?
And yes, I agree, at least that it looks like your going to be hearing it a lot more, did you ever wonder why that might be?
Hypothetically yes but ethically could we? If it is earthlike then likelyhood is it could very well already have life. Our intervention would alter the evolution of that planet
can humans hypothetically literally set up the conditions of an earth like planet and initiate biological life to begin evolving and eventually evolve to complex entities like we see on earth?
I think you believe evolution means upgrades, it does not. It means the ability to breed and pass on genes. If man is not able to do this but a slug is, mankind dies out and the slug continues. So the enviroment drives evolution which may or may not result in humanlike animals.
I understand early life could have arisen on a planet like earth with the right conditions, beginning the endless race of evolution,, at some point giving birth to man..
Agreed
Everything the universe does is "natural" anything man does is "natural"... anything that can happen in the universe can happen...
Yes. Infact it should have more place than discussion of evolution as it is discuss the diversity we see without refering to evolution.
everything regarding "creationists" views, and "god" is relevant to the discussion of this topic is it not?
In my opinion you are wrong. Science is lead by the evidence. Darwin showed his finding it was others that started the argument around god. Darwin just pointed out the process that describes diversity.
I feel when you focus on evolution you are trying to prove those things wrong, or looking at this event under a microscope, in a vacuum, like there is intent behind it,,, for that is the impact it had when evolution first started going about with darwin.... am I wrong in thinking this?
Again as I wrote above. Evolution does not describe a biological arms race. It has nothing to say about 'is this all there is?' A creator or sprit. It purley describes the process of evolution. Nothing more and nothing less. People that try to read into their own beliefs and predjudices from either side are wrong.
you say were life on this rock, all life on this rock evolves over time, by living, eating, reproducing, dieing, becoming wittier, swifter, more vicious, more jump, and thats all there is to see here?
I agree to a point but at its most basic Evolution is the ability to live long enough to pass on genes. Being able to run faster to avoid predators or catch prey is a result of that imperative.
the gun is synonymous in my mind to a beast of nature developing sharper claws or a snake poisonous venom..... i dont think we can just look at a narrow aspect, but everything must be considered,.., considered in terms to how it relates or fits into the whole, or all perspectives of significance.
The mite is all to common like water and air, so no I don't think there is any connection there.
It's not special that we share the same mites as other primates?
Could it be that you think your special.
The sad thing is that you are, you just can't see past your hypothesis and as result your true ancestral lineage is lost.
Thanks to evolution your kind has just about died out and future generations will look back with curiosity and learn about historical fallacy's.
There is nothing sick about creating life.
What evidence have you that if a creator does indeed exist, "it" is "good"
What if "it" created the Universe for "it's" own sick amusement.

Er, nobody but nobody has claimed, that I'm aware of, that our most recent ancestor was a Luca. That wasn't a flaw on their part--it was a flaw in the interpretation of others. It's been clarified, yet you still don't seem to understand it.
And even if Mitochondrial Eve turns out to be wrong, it's still the best thing going at the moment. If they got the rate of mutation wrong, it's going to throw their calculations off.

Evolutionists, with their belief of evolution? see this is where the confusion stems, evidence. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming, whereas the evidence for a supernatural intelligence being behind anything is.......... non-existent.

Well autosomal dominance or rather the lack of, could explain how they were able to slip by not having these defects in there genes affect them.
Before I waste my time discussing this with you. Explain, in your words not a cut and paste what part autosomal dominance plays in the bushmans survival. This appears to be a field you are schooled in and should be very interesting.
Oh not at all, in fact I'm in the stone ages, which is why it shocks me that you didn't know.
Nope. As soon as I read it I thought. 'Oh dear the ignorant trolling lump has found a new diversion tactic. My question to you is do you think no one else knows what it is?
Well sorry but Luca was not important enough to be listed on the wiki of mtdna so it was not something that appeared to be involved.
That does not surprise me. If you don't know what LUCA is, you've got no business discussing Mitochondrial Eve in any context whatsoever.
So your trying to say they have found missing links? Why don't they publish it?
If I hadn't read your previous posts I would inclined to think you are just horribly mistaken, but I have read your previous posts and have also read the numerous replies showing you that this 'claim' is incorrect. I have to conclude that you're being dishonest, and completely unworthy of debate.
I get the feeling folk here are only flaying you to give a public example of those to wish to retard the human search for knowledge.
I have never argued that. I think we all have them, just in the same species.
Again there is evidence, enough evidence to prove without reasonable doubt that every organism that exists and has ever existed on this planet has a common ancestor.
Well that's because the mtDNA findings laid religion to rest.
I do like that religion has become such a dirty word, so much so that even the religious use it in an attempt to discredit evolution
