RE: Tree of Life: The Controversy of the Egg & the Arrival of Mammals

in #steemstem6 years ago

Out of all that your first responses were about humans laying or not laying eggs. Pffff. Apart from the 'funny' I think one point is that had we not evolved to intro-carrying we could've traversed many different roads. Marsupial hominids. Egg laying two leggers. Have they ever even been in the equation? Or has upright homo sapien/ ape /mammalian been entirely dependent on the production process to evolve further towards modern human (or mammal in general)? You tell us @mobbs ;)

Sort:  

Well, two-legged dinosaurs presumably laid eggs so it's certainly possible. I think the idea of 'evolving further towards modern humans' was never a goal or and end-result. It's just one of many. And it's not even a result, since we might evolve later to start laying eggs for all we know!
