Breaking news - NEW SPECIES OF HUMAN!

[CavaliersFTW]

Jordan was the lebron of his time. Not in the sense of how they approach the game, but in the sense of their physical abilities. People marvel at brons physical attributes as they should because he is a freak of nature, for this time.

Jordan, was the freak of nature for his time. No other players had his speed or strength or athletic ability. Fast forward to todays times, and many players are built physically just like Jordan.

Its called human evolution. He'd still be great but the one advantage he had over his 80s and 90s peers, wouldn't be as evident today.

long ass time ago you never kno what kinda shit u gonna run into back then, stegosaurus? woolly rhinocerous? - who knos at this point it was so long ago its impossible to tell, they hd poor nutrition too. I wouldn't wanna live back then

[bmulls]

Evolution is the wrong word, it's advances in nutrition, training and medicine.

[DonDadda59]

New research suggests that Homo Jordanicus was actually the missing link between Homo Sapien and Homo Modernnbaathletenesis, a sort of transitional species between the fragile, small, unathletic sapiens and hyper athletic, giant, zone-playing modernnbaathetenesis.

The lead researcher tells me that Jordanicus had some of that hyper athletic genome but not to the degree of say an Eric Gordon or other modern hyper athletic hominids.

[SacJB Shady]

However you slice it, Jordan could embarrass anyone of todays NBA. Jordan embarrassed Shaq, Lebron wouldn't stand a chance against Mike.

{yo cavs.... your post is freaking hilarious....}

This is spectacular news!!

Clearly, people have leapfrogged 2 million years ahead and evolved into super-humans in a single generation!!!!

Fortunately for the world, that brilliant scientist, The Iron Fist, has articulated this for us - he's utterly destroyed the obsolete Darwin's Theory and already formulated the theory to explain this unprecedented event!!

Fortunately for all of us, he's published his Fistian Theory of Mike-o-Lution in elegantly simple terms, that anyone can understand. Now his work is published for the first time in the world's most scholarly scientific journal... ISH!!!


https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qqIPBr2Hq2k/T4phDWCPMNI/AAAAAAAADXw/8PcV1NpgJVQ/s0/nbaevolution.jpg

Cavs, I salute your ancillary work; you've done a fine job creating this updated chart showing IronFist's radical breakthrough in human knowledge.

But now, we must all move forward to the much more difficult task that lies before us ~ educating the masses about this new Scientific Discovery....

We mustn't forget to point out how the discoverer of this new theory has joined the ranks of Newton, Galileo, Bach and Einstein!!

I propose a new symbol for the college professors who will be teaching the new science. This cap is an appropriate symbol of our new-found knowledge:

[blacknapalm]

:roll: really hope that original post was meant to be facetious

i'm not going to write a thesis on this, but i always argued this...evolution doesn't work that way. even if you take the sport of basketball as a microcosm, it doesn't make much sense. it's not a 20 year old sport or business and doesn't fall under accelerated sports evolution.

that's why i can understand the mma argument on the same subject. more people are becoming aware of it. more gyms, facilities, knowledge and trainers are becoming involved. athletes are transitioning into it instead of it just being a niche specialty that you either grew up with or attempted to transition into late. now, young people are participating in the full scope of mma instead of just focusing on one area (if they have that drive/passion/foresight)

take a look at the NFL. they also loosened their defensive rules and look what we got....QB's putting up HOF numbers and smashing records, even early in their career. unitas' completion % looks like crap in comparison, but unitas had to deal with cheap shots, less pads, more bump and running/jamming, less defensive penalties, roofless arenas and secondary players that could outright push and shove receivers and lay them out at any point after the ball was snapped. that said, jerry rice would be a beast in any era, just as calvin johnson would be

ok, getting off topic here. the point is, the argument doesn't work in the vacuum of basketball. you guys are not seeing some super athlete that evolved over the past 10 years. you just aren't. maybe HD and slo-mo have you fooled but the different isn't significant at all. btw smarts, fundamentals and heart are timeless

and well played LF, i see your cap and i raise you:

I heard on 60 minutes that Jordan's homoathleticus hostility toward Reggie Miller was more than an interhuman encounter but something beyond that - And this was before this info got out. I also peeped how ungrateful his HOF speech was... like he couldn't give props to homo sapiens... I also notice that refs tended to give him calls other humans couldn't get. Jus sayin.

Most idiots dont know that everyday the radiation from the sun advances all DNA it touches. Its a slow ass process, but the sun is what is causing this human evolution and it will continue. One day, we probally will see a 7 footer with the game of a guard, hell, Durant is close enough. The crazy part is, basketball makes the evolution the most visible out of all sports.

Nope. Humans can evolve within 15 years (shorter than our generation span of 25-30 years). Especially when there is no natural selection going on for basketball players with a vertical of 35 inches or more.

By 1966 there were already significantly more black players starting for teams than white ones, and more black all-stars - and the disparity was was basically the same as the 1980's. Then you have the 1986 Celtics, one of the greatest if not the greatest team of all time, looking as milky white as a late 50's team:

1969 Boston Celtics



So if you think the photograph you cherry picked "encapsulatse" the way 60's basketball was, than you don't understand 60's basketball. The density of Black players in the 60's exploded incredibly rapidly, the NBA was way ahead of it's time as far integration is concerned. The picture you posted encapsulates what late 50's basketball teams looked like more than it encapsulates 60's ball. Around either '66 or '67 the Celtics 5 black starters would play the 76ers 5 black starters meaning before that decade was out there were many games in the 60's that were playing without a single white person on the floor.



And anyways... what does any of that have to do with the exciting discovery of a new species? :lol

[CavaliersFTW]

Are we humans evolving into better athletes?


I'll answer it with another question: Are the less athletic humans dying out before they have a chance to sire offspring? Extended answer below.



There are a lot of off-base interpretations of what human evolution is right now, even being said by the people who know that it is stupid to suggest that today's NBA players evolved from MJ's era. So I will help clear this up for everyone just so people can come back to this post for reference. You need a driving force for a species to gradually diverge from it's original form. The less athletic humans need to be (in large numbers, and for a long time) dead before they have a chance to breed for changes to even be seen in the population thousands of years from now.

And 50,000 years ago, humans born that were less athletic than their peers were being killed in such a manner. The bone density and muscle attachments prove that paleolithic (yet intellectually fully modern) Homo sapiens were stronger and more athletic. Their bones are significantly thicker - more torqued and grooved with muscle attachments, than is seen in modern Homo sapiens from the last few thousand years til present. This is because their lives, and their ancestors lives, depended on hunting mammoth and large megafauna, then defending it against large carnivores such as lions, smilodon, and giant extinct forms of bear and hyena that existed. Not until about 10,000 years ago did all of this - world wide - gradually shift to agricultural community driven lifestyles, where bending over and planting seeds took the place of running down and getting in close contact with very large dangerous animals. That lifestyle shift meant that any genetic mutations that resulted in say, individuals possessing genetic strands that contributed to a lesser athletic frame, would continue to persist w/o issue as they successfully sired offspring - who would then pass that DNA to their offspring etc etc etc. None of them would have the prior heightened chance of being killed or starved to death because of being athletically incapable of hunting the massive dangerous shit.

Make sense? There literally is no argument whatsoever that any humans born today are athletically superior to humans born 20, 50, 100, 1,000, or even 5,000 years ago. And the skeletons of Homo sapiens 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 years ago were indeed -by necessity- physically superior to our population today.

What's more? Now our lifestyles involve sitting on computers at 9-5 jobs and even the meekest of humans (such as Steven Hawking) can potentially live and/or produce offspring by the age of sexual maturity just as easily as any super-athlete, and these awe-inspiring athletes that come and go throughout sports such as the NBA today - marry slim frail women and make babies with them who incidentally will have her genetics too and there will still be no pressure for the DNA of their athletic fathers to be the "predominantly found DNA" seen in the future of mankind. There will be no evolution of better athletes at any time in our future be it hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years from now. None, notta, zilch. Not unless an apocalypse happens and humans are forced to become strictly hunter gatherers chasing down, and fighting wildlife for our food again.

http://www.somso.de/img/s4.jpg

These are Homo sapiens skulls from 30,000 years ago, their brain cases actually have about 1,600cm of internal volume, larger than modern Homo sapiens that avgs ~1,450 so it was no dimwitted cave-man. Note the thickness of the ocular bones (around the eyes), a slight bulge around the brow ridge, thicker jaw, and more "rounded" shape with no little fragile bone edges jutting out. Now compare to modern human skulls below:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/37/Caucasian_Human_Skull.jpg/220px-Caucasian_Human_Skull.jpg
http://www.sabah.edu.my/itma07037/8.Culture/Pics/human%20skull.jpg
Angular in comparison with frail looking bits flaring out here and there, the ocular bone is much thinner and fragile looking, brow ridge is less pronounced. Jaw is not as strong in appearance. Basically, this is a lesser armored skull for protecting our brain, because we don't get kicked in the face by the hooves of giant herbivores anymore, and we don't chew tough sinew.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cro-Magnon
Read about them, read about our other recent hominid ancestors, read why they had the physiques that they had and what pressures had mandated that they have these physiques. Homo neanderthalensis were (much) stronger than Homo sapiens. Homo ergaster were not only taller than Homo sapiens (averaging 6'2), but were also engineered as superior runners. (linked) http://www.boneclones.com/sc-012-a.htm

Our ancestors are the better athletes, not us, and this trend of an ever relaxed Homo sapiens physique is not going to stop just because of "modern medicine" - modern medicine isn't as powerful as DNA and using it as we do today will actually enable our gene pool (specifically the genes of our physiology) to relax even more in the span of the next few thousands of years.

Make sense? Link this post to any ignorant fan that attempts to say that modern NBA players are evolved humans that are "better athletes" than the ones of the past :facepalm

[jlauber]

We are already seeing the "devolution"...

In the 50's the 6-10 Mikan was leading the NBA in rebounding, and the 6-1 Cousy was leading the league in assists.

In 2011 the 6-9 Kevin Love led the league in rebounding, and the 37 year old 6-2 Steve Nash led the league in assists.

[oh the horror]

Its an evolution of the way athletes train, and how they tune their bodies for their specific crafts now rather than the human himself.


Some of you cant be this stupid.

There's no such thing as de-evolution, because evolution is merely change, even if that change is a less robust physique - it also takes a helluva long time for any noticeable difference and as I said it requires pressure to wipe out (on a massive scale, for a long time) any individuals with a "bad" trait before they have a chance to breed... Mikan and Cousy are genetically the same humans as a Nash and Love.

Also, Love is 6'7.75, Nash is 6'1, Cousy is 6'1, and Mikan is 6'10. Barefoot heights. Either way, this is not an example of evolution, it's literally just a random figure you could have picked 6'6 Dennis Rodman or 6'5 Charles Barkley then again you could have noted 6'10 Hakeem Olajuwon or 6'11 Kevin Garnett...

:applause: :lol some of them have come off as that stupid, I'm not even sure if they're serious but I've heard it repeated more than once by different people... :eek:

Should also note though for anyone misinterpreting the word evolution - even in this sense (of training), that evolution means change, not necessarily "improvement...

For example, athletes like Jordan, Wilt, or even Jerry West - did not condition themselves any less than a modern NBA athlete does.
*Wilt ran his whole life, always participated in a variety of sports, and strength trained his whole life.
*West ran in the mountains of WV growing up and in the offseasons of basketball and playing their back to back schedules of fast-break basketball meant he was running for "miles" every game, multiple times a week in schedules as compressed as this seasons schedule - but for the full 80+ games.
*Jordan was another gym rat (focused on a leaner physique though) and keeping himself well conditioned by running as well - as said for anyone complaining about their athleticism or training - a leaner athlete doesn't represent a less conditioned, or worse trained athlete.






A guy who lifts weights or strength trains is just a guy who spent time lifting weights and strength training, his body reacted to this by becoming stronger. But that time he was strengthening skeletal muscle could have inversely been spent training his cardiovascular system by doing things like "running in the mountains of West Virginina".... in which the body would react by strengthening the legs heart and lungs - more so than the athlete who was focused on strength, and only capping off such training by running on a treadmill for 30 minutes afterwards. Muscle mass doesn't equate to better training or superior athleticism - it just equates to a body that was trained for a different purpose.

In any case, I do agree with much of your real intention here...
