(13,685 posts)If we mean by a critical point in the evolution of our species that our species now can kill nearly all our species in minutes, can you see the gist?
Or that our species is now so dependent on external, indeed, global sourcing, and that were those sources to be taken away our species could barely survive?
Sure, we are adaptable, but the critical point is that our adaptability is no longer needed because how hard is it to go to a store and get food or travel many miles just by driving? No farming and no walking. That is possibly an evolution that will lead to a mass collapse of our species.
After a collapse, the only survivors will be those that have always lived off the land. Human evolution will just have to start all over. Again.
Surely you don't think humans have not evolved in modern society, do you?
