Finally got me a pair of headphones again, listening to Carl Cox Black Rock album gave me that little bit extra.

Procreation

In the developed world today, almost everyone lives long enough to pass on their genes, but many of us choose not to.

 

Some people have three children, and some people have none, so natural selection may be working in a different way.

 

The realisation that people in the developed world are in effect choosing to prevent their genes from surviving beyond them has led evolutionary biologist Stephen Stearns to look at evolution in the current generations in a radical way.

 

You could also argue that humans have stopped using genes as the primary method for passing evolutionary traits to descendants and are instead using the passing of high-level information to propagate human evolution.

That was discussed during the program, culture running parallel with nature in the evolutionary process. Culture augmenting natural evolution, vegans are a prime example of how culture is augmenting natural evolution. I'm a bit advocate of cultural evolution over natural evolution for a better world.

Solid progress keep up the good work

I would suggest more cardio, some more cardio and a little more cardio and then some ab work.

Obviously you should be expending more than your consume on a daily basis and that belly flab should go!

Your lifting looks good to me, keep up the solid progess

Training looking solid

i like to add the hydropool and sauna into my training. sadly i don't have access.

Got your book buddy, fantastic work! look forward to reading it

Interesting article about horizon program which is on BB2 tonight...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12535647

Some snippets from article below

Horizon: Are We Still Evolving? BBC Two at 2100 on Tuesday 1 March 2011

On Milk Consumption

"The most obvious example of this is lactose, the sugar in milk. Some 10,000 years ago, before humans started farming, no one could digest this beyond a few years of age."

"But today, the rate of lactose tolerance in different parts of the world is a clue to the different histories of farming across the globe. While 99% of Irish people are lactose tolerant, in South East Asia, where there is very little tradition of farming, the figure is less than 5%."

Culture & Evolution

"We see rapid evolution when there's rapid environmental change and the biggest part of our environment is culture, and culture is exploding," says Prof Stearns.
