We are animals, and I want to use primates as modles for primal instinct.

The idea that we are animals is an pure speculation. The idea that we are primates is not proven, either. Although monkeys and other primates do resemble us in many ways, this is not proof that we evolved from them.

I cannot prove that we didn't evolve from lower lifeforms. You can't prove that we did.

PURE speculation? Or is there all sorts of genetical similarities and all sorts of other little pieces of evidence?

Myself, I thought we were all done playing the "I say this, I can't prove it, but YOU can't prove the other one, so ha" card.

Not that evolution is something that makes sense or anything.. 
Peace.

i believe we evolved to not agree with incest since incesties cannot survive on a long enough genetic time line.

if we take into account everything the bible tells us, *laughs  then we are all the products of a wierd kind of incest...  eve was actually a part of adam, so when god started us off, he kind of screwed us, and i feel like adam was screwing himself... quite literally...

  Yes, my mom is a direct descendant.  No, ADHD is not caused by too much information, but I suppose that's not pertinent to this thread.  Personally, I think ADHD people are just way too smart and weren't supposed to use as much of their brain that they do, so they short-circuit.

Anyways, it most definitely would be pushing the stakes to make a new offspring.  What if you get a new breed of child that is smarter than others, but has some PITA (pain in the ass) attribute, as accompanies ADHD?

What are the causes of ADHD?  Attention Deficit?  That sounds like someone that can process information faster than others, in a sense smarter, but not neccassarily..  what evidence do you have that there's short circuit-ing of the brain in people with ADHD?
