There is a trivia that has not yet been answered. What do you call a human being who is fully evolved in this galaxy of ours?

I will give you 10 points for this if you can answer!

This will question will expire before 12noontime! So, make your research now and do it FAST to WIN and SURVIVE!

.hmm. Mag-guess q sir.."SUPER creatures", i think..

You have 2 hours more before our trivia question will expire!

What is the name of a fully evolved human in this galaxy of ours? Sounds like Sci Fi!

This is 10 points! Do your research now!

.hmm. Mag-guess q sir.."SUPER creatures", i think..

Well, that is not the name! Yes they are SUPER evolved beings but then I want a specific name!

CLASS I WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS and make your PERSONAL REACTION which is good for 30 points!

My reaction to- OUR EARLIEST ANCESTORS- Story of Evolution

Much has been said about the history and origin of mankind. The film had shown a great span of discussion. From the topic about the discovery of fossils and footprints of our ‘said’ ancestors (most of which are preserved and taken care of in Kenya as shown in the video, scene timed 1:36min), I can say that humankind is indeed curious, so curious about our history and it is important for us to hold and take great care of what has been left of us from the past. If we are ignorant about our past, we cannot be sure and will always doubt our future.
In the film, Dr. Meave Leakey was one of the people who extensively studied one unique fossil, the oldest fossil of humans. When this discovery was spread, the world of science has shaken because they can’t seem to find the link, and that this fossil should not exist. Because, this will prove the theory about man coming from apes as a mistake (stated from the video).
I think that the video also discussed the quest for the “missing link” and that if the link is found, it would mean that the strength about the theory that man indeed came from apes will intensify and hold much evidence than ever before.
Moving on, I reckon that we should be proud of us being humans, to quote from the video “no other creature has ever thought like us, built like us, dreamed like us”, we should be thankful and prove our worth in this world. And honestly speaking, I felt proud when I heard the narrator from the video saying that in some way, we are CHOSEN ones. We are more intelligent, we alone can aspire, we hope to control nature, and we are light-years ahead of anything that has ever lived before. But how did we evolve?
We have very large brains, and they say that tracing the evolution of the brain will give us the answers( the big brain theory thing). I think that it will take longer years to fully understand the pattern of the brain’s evolution. The brain system alone is very complex, and studying a complex field isn’t handy.
The video also talked much about “Lucy”, how her species emerged from a single elite line of “super creatures” that are so special and “adaptation”. I realized that long ago for people to survive, they must adapt to the environment and also take hold of “dominance”.
I say that as a student, the best that I can do for now, is just to do well in my field, expand my knowledge, contribute small helping ideas and continue searching for the answers that lie ahead.

the video shows how man rose up from apes(due to some changes in nature, that they have to adapt in order for survival). there are many stories presented. one is the big brain (1470) which lived more than 3 million years ago. they believed that we evolved from this because it has similarities with the human brain. but this was short-lived when they found lucy who seem to break the law of evolution. it shows that man came from a one stemmed ancestor which contradicts the law of evolution and shows that we are unique and different from the other animals. she was the first found fossil who can walk with two feet. which was believed to be the reason why they developed big brains. in order to make way for a living and survival. but after some time, they discovered the flat-faced skull which break the theory that we came from a one stemmed ancestor. this flat-faced skull have similar physical characteristics of us humans. unlike lucy which more looked like an ape. this discovery shows that we are also a product of mutuation and adaptation that happened million years ago. that we have always been part of evolution and the ecosystem that we are living. we just got lucky that our ancestor survived and have adapt to the natural changes, though our ancestor must have yet to be identified.

Ok give yourself additional 15 points! Very good summary and reaction!

Did I miss checking some answers here?

the video shows how man rose up from apes(due to some changes in nature, that they have to adapt in order for survival). there are many stories presented. one is the big brain (1470) which lived more than 3 million years ago. they believed that we evolved from this because it has similarities with the human brain. but this was short-lived when they found lucy who seem to break the law of evolution. it shows that man came from a one stemmed ancestor which contradicts the law of evolution and shows that we are unique and different from the other animals. she was the first found fossil who can walk with two feet. which was believed to be the reason why they developed big brains. in order to make way for a living and survival. but after some time, they discovered the flat-faced skull which break the theory that we came from a one stemmed ancestor. this flat-faced skull have similar physical characteristics of us humans. unlike lucy which more looked like an ape. this discovery shows that we are also a product of mutuation and adaptation that happened million years ago. that we have always been part of evolution and the ecosystem that we are living. we just got lucky that our ancestor survived and have adapt to the natural changes, though our ancestor must have yet to be identified.

How do you know if you were part of the top ten? Just trace it those who were able to answer and count yourself!

Mga ka seven kk sir...hehehehe...nah ni answer ug beatles

[jiet_rica]

.thank u, sir!!! wee...

.still thinking about the answer to the question "fully evolved human in the galaxy... sir give us one last hint, how many letters, sir?

[regnauld]

Highly Intellectual Lifeforms.
Extra Terrestrial Beings.

Not really ET because it is a term that is outside of this planet earth but highly evolved humans are part of this galaxy of ours!


Highly Intellectual Lifeforms? Yes these highly evolved humans are intellectual but that is not their name or title!

I already gave you points, am i right?

The only non-sci fi that I can think of are Self-Actualized People.

Maybe Mutants or mutated humans.
