We're mutating, it's official

So apparently evolution is kicking in and altering our skeletal system already due to constant bending over due to phones, computers, tablets etc.

Up until now only a theory but some Australian doctors have actually now got x-rays to back this up.

Careful folks we're mutating ourselves.

Ok sorry again i just can't seem to get the links working on this new phone.

Please refer dfnj2015's kind helpful link. Thanks .

Your link doesn’t take me to that story.

Humans Have Started Growing Spikes in the Back of Their Skulls Because We Use Smartphones so Much

So looking down at a Smartphone is different from looking down at say...a Book? We've been reading books for Thousands of years? Don't sound right.

Thankyou, must be frustrating. Appreciate the help.

Evolution doesn't work on such small time scales. These are repetitive strain injuries.

Yes but nowhere as frequent, consistant and often when reading books i suppose. We're glued to our tech friends - books where reasonably random.

How many children throughout history would have been able to even read, let alone own a book to read constantly throughout the day instead of working to put food on the table or the myriad of other daily chores that were more important?

Think about that.... going back just 100 years over the course of all recorded human history, the numbers and availability of books pales in comparison to smartphone use today.

Don’t want to be a know it all but books have been around and read by people for about a hundred and fifty years, tops
This is not about evolution but devolution, our eyes are being damaged by new tech

How does a bone or lump prove evolution and what’s the advantage, silly

Interesting find.
I really don't think this is about cell-phone use.

More likely, it has to do with how humans have gradually changed their sleeping habits and patterns over past millennia.

Exactly.
Smartphones have been available on a wide scale less than 10 years ago...

This is just sensationalist propaganda

Are babies being born with these spikes?

If not, this isn't "evolution," just adaptation of the body to physical stress.

Let me know when babies are being born with this.

Few people read book, relatively speaking. Almost everyone has a smart phone.

Think of a phone as a TV used to be. Almost everyone watched tv, but a small portion of people read books. It would be interesting to xray the skulls of lifelong readers, such as a librarian perhaps, and see if there are similarities with a modern day phone mutant.

How many generations do you expect to live?

A mutation may have appeared for whatever reason. Now it's up to selectivity. Does this present a benefit that should be passed on? If it does not, those with the mutant growths and genes will die out. If it is beneficial it may get passed on over the next few generations.

evolution is a collection of genetic traits that lead to a separation of species. mutations create genetic traits that may or may not lead to speciation. a separate species occurs when the offspring between the two is no longer possible due to genetic mismatch. chimps share 99% of our genetic code, but mutations led to genetic traits that are incompatible with theirs, so breeding is a no-go. neanderthals are not a separate species from us, so we could breed with them (and did).

mutations occur all the time. any and all errors in the dna are "mutations".

most come from background radiation causing point disruption.

for the most part mutations are bad. like 99% of the time. of the remaining, most have no effect whatsoever. very few actually are beneficial.

take male pattern baldness. a genetic trait, that at one point was just a mutation. it does no harm, or add benefit, to the carrier.

only 35% of humans can consume milk as an adult. this is a condition called lactose tolerance and only started between 7k-15k years ago. a mutation that spread in the population and became a trait. a definite benefit if you like ice cream as an adult.

now, this cranial spike could be a mutation, but only if its genetic. its evolution if it lingers and spreads in the population, but only if it leads to a separation of species of human that cant breed with the current human.

Not a mutation, a physical effect from a repetitive action (or, inaction, I guess one could say.)

I think that's bs but it did make me think about something....
There's proof now that cell phone frequencies /smart meters n All that crap actually alters our blood cells and DNA. Anyone notice how people look so different now compared to say , people in the 60s 70s 80s... we ARE mutating. Our DNA is mutating.
It's a plan by satan and the fallen angels to destroy us slowly over time. Stuff keeps getting weirder and weirder...
God bless you all stay strong in these last days.

Just ask the scientist from ciba geigy, what electromagnetic fields have to do with evolution...
