  Evolution Gap - Where's the Fur?

  evolution paints human ancestors covered with fur.

  fur has several benefits as stated by britannica "the pelts of fur-bearing animals are called true furs when they consist of two elements: a dense undercoat, called ground hair, and longer hairs, extending beyond that layer, called guard hair.

  the principal function of ground hair is to maintain the animal’s body temperature; that of guard hair is to protect the underlying fur and skin and to shed rain or snow.".

  cofty, I'll reply slowly.

  That doesn't answer the question

  Many animals live there with fur

  Fur even helps animals stay cool

  There! Is that better?

  Apes and monkeys and lions and bears don't need to keep cool? Maybe they are already cool.

  Besides fur helps stay cool and warm. I'll make up a word for it. Insulation!

  Fur is beneficial for survival. Evolution stripped humans of this advantage?

  This generation will by no means pass away

  good morning i hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

  there has been a lot of talk about the "new light" concerning the generation teaching.

  it's been a major part of the prophecy concerning the last days and of course since jws are the only ones able to decipher and understand prophecy it is of great importance to get this main prophecy right.

  Sevan, I don't have an answer to your original post but will say that it was one that looked like it could have been written by me. I still lean towards associating with jw because I don't have a better answer. I don't post much here because the responses you're getting are quite typical. Best wishes for your future

  The first of the facts below seems bizarre to me, but for what it's worth shows some interesting stats.

  5-devastating-facts-black-black-crime/
  

  FACT 1. Over 1,400 more black Americans murdered other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968.
  

  According to FBI data, 4,906 black people murdered other blacks in 2010 and 2011. That is 1,460 more black Americans killed by other blacks in two years than were lynched from 1882 to 1968, according to the Tuskegee Institute.

  FACT 2. Black People (mostly men) commit a grossly disproportionate amount of crime.

  In 2012, white males were 38 percent of the population and committed 4,582 murders. That same year, black males were just 6.6 percent of the population but committed a staggering 5,531 murders.

  In other words: black people–at just a fifth of the size–committed almost 1,000 more murders than their white counterparts.

  The figures above highlight a horrific truth that black racialists and white liberals routinely ignore: Lawbreaking black Americans, young black males particularly, put themselves in close proximity to (mostly white male) police officers at rates sometimes five to 10 times higher than whites. This is a recipe for disaster. Thusly….

  FACT 3. Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks committed half of homicides in the United States for nearly 30 years.

  DOJ statistics show that between 1980 and 2008, black people committed 52% of homicides.

  In 2013, black criminals committed 38% of the murders. Whites accounted for just 31 percent.

  There are five times fewer black people than white people in America and, yet, they consistently carry out a larger share of the crimes? Given this rate, it’s no wonder that there aren’t more assistances where cops kill black criminals.

  FACT 4. Chicago’s death toll is almost equal to that of both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined.

  There have been almost as many deaths in one American city as there have been in the two major wars carried out by the U.S. military this century.

  Chicago’s death toll from 2001–November, 26 2015 stands at 7,401. The combined total deaths during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003-2015: 4,815) and Operation Enduring Freedom/Afghanistan (2001-2015: 3,506), total 8,321.

  FACT 5. It would take cops 40 years to kill as many black men as have died at the hands of others black men in 2012 alone.

  University of Toledo criminologist Dr. Richard R. Johnson examined the latest crime datafrom the FBI’s Supplementary Homicide Reports and Centers for Disease Control andfound that an average of 4,472 black men were killed by other black men annually between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2012.

  Professor Johnson’s research further concluded that 112 black men died from both justified and unjustified police-involved killings annually during this same period.
