evolution and rupert sheldrake

Rupert Sheldrake Online
Morfogenetica, memory and adultery.
Why don't i know the time and place when adultery is commited when morfogenetic fields exist?
what about orthogenetic fields.
darwins misconception: the struggle for the fittest misconception
if darwinisme is a misconception, then it is the fittest one.
but will it win in nature?
or: if everything is competition then darwinism is also.
why did god create darwin?
de mens is de enigste soort die zich kan indenken een andere soort te zijn, is dit geest of geestelijk evolutie van geestelijke soorten?
the only way to know if darwins theory is wrong is by finding a (prehistoric) species that shouldn't fit in the line of descent and is never noticed before as odd.
Or gene-manipulaion.
or to pay for behaviour
how do animals adapt to humans (because we do not only kill them for food, as they do expect)
hoe kan 'doen alsof je iemand wil' een evolutionair voordeel zijn?
en hoe wordt (het beste) orgasme evolutionair doorgegeven?
monkey with 4 hands?
de mens als erosie voor de natuur
welk dier verdreef de dinosuariers (na 60 miljoen jaar)? geen, want die 'overwinnaars' kwamen pas na de meteoor
misschien is evolutie een strijd tussen leven en weten?
Why isn't a pigeon made for supersonic speed or under ground flying?
or why hadn't humans the ability to plug thier ears closed
man is the only beast that can act as if nature doesn't exist (and is to be fooled by consience)
dolphin sounds
what is democracy when people want a sick person to stay in power?
chinese supremacy for cultural advantage by acoustic brain deficit pag 163
meaning that they can't lose their abilty to write what they hear (because they write ideograms and not phonetic signs).
lactose (milk) deficiency outside europeans
waarom vind er geen herseninhoud overdracht plaats vlak voor de geboorte zou dat evolutionair niet voordeliger zijn?
