The only theories of evolution you tend to hear about are Lamarck's, Haeckel's and Darwin's. Are there any other major theories of evolution? Are any of them remotely viable?
I understand a humanities board is really not the place for this question, but I posted it on /sci/ before and I just got stuff like furry porn in response. So I ask you, hoping your responses will be more informed or thoughtful.

Evolution is a lie.

the only problem with homo is that homos cannot reproduce, also shit dicking and disease
If war-chanting, religious hymnals and spiritual praises, and love songs...can have an effect on one's conscious or actions...why is it so hard to believe that hip-hop, gangster rap, rock music, and other forms of violent music, can drive a culture to commit crime? For example: the high crime rate of urban, black Detroit
In the same vein....if books, theaters, and philosophy can impact someone's conscious, why is it so hard to believe that violent video games or glorified action movies can negatively effect a player's or watchers apathy? For example,...

Iirc fps such as call of duty fall into catharsis, relieving your feelings of anger and rage in a harmless environment and make you feel better about yourself, much like Greek tragedies.
Rap was a political voice for young impoverished blacks when it began, and as their lives involved encounters with crime it was naturally a part of the subject matter.

alright atheists, riddle me this
if morality doesn't come from god, where does it come from?
from angus :DDD
Convenience.
>>498257
If it came from God it would mean that moral is subjective. Go away you silly relativist.
Thoughts? They are buzzfeed but with pop history and history relating to current events.
They enjoyed being compared to Buzzfeed and openly admit to being biased. Have used "right side of history"
They've had a couple of pretty interesting articles tho. Facebook comments cringey as hell.
>>498100
Never heard, but it sounds like I'll never have anything to do with them ever.
Is it another Cracked tier crap?
>HOLY FUCKING SHIT DID YOU KNOW THIS KING HAD A 9 INCH DICK
>>498135
Maybe. Cracked usually lies in their history articles.
Which nations were kindest to the Jews and gave them most rights? Cyrus the Great in ancient Persia, India gave Jews the right to vote, possibly Czechnya.
In Poland they could become nobility among other things.

Did what is now the Czech Republic have a fairly robust and healthy Jewish culture?

Why was Hitler so bent on controlling all of Europe? Why did he think the Axis alliance would be able win the war? He already rebuilt Germany and tore the Versailles to shreds , couldn't he have focused on Germany?
All of Europe? He just wanted to beat France really badly and create lebensraum in the Soviet states. But things changed and got out of hand when Poland rejected him.
>>497980
He was convinced of two very important things.
One. The fact that the current borders of Germany were insufficient. The German people needed more land to live in and cultivate. He believed that a lack of arable land led to poverty and degeneracy for many Germans: if a man cannot even grow his own food, how can he be a proper citizen?
Two. He believed that communism, socialism and every ideology left-leaning was a pure manifestation of Jewish evilness. The USSR embodied this Jewish corruption and the only...

Pure autism and him being a shitty leader, both politically and militarily. Theres a reason a bunch of generals tried to assassinate him and his poster boy Rommel didnt like him at all.
He would have done ok for himselfand probably gone down in history as a arguably good leader if he didnt throw a shitfit about some irrelevant port in Poland.
Where to start with Rumi?

So i just finished watching Marco Polo.
How historical accurate is it?
The armors portrayed are pretty cool too.
It's not at all historically accurate.
Yellow fever: the show
I like shows where some beta boy dies in an absurd way and his rival gets the girl. Marco Polo, Rome
It reminds me that all human drama is ultimately about the cuck/bull dynamic.
Why don't we dress this way anymore? Its a beautiful way to appear, and people could afford to do so. Panners and such wouldnt need whalebone because we have substitutions, and precious gems could be fakes. Just imagine going to the grocery store or pa5ing taxes dressed like this!

Case French fashion of the XVII-XVIII Centuries is shit.
The Spanish one from just earlier on the other way.
Sober, with just a touch of colour.
>>497744
Its because they were in a poorer country with a shitty economic system and an infertile, overly inbred king whose death caused the war of the Spanish Succession.
Official GerTri rankings list:
Top Tier
>Saxons
>Franks
>Norse (Normans and Varangians included)
Mid Tier
>Goths
>Vandals
>Lombards
Low Tier
>all others
frisians were pretty based. and you can't really put all the norsemen as a single "tribe"
>>497721
It's the best way I can see grouping them. What did Friscians do of note?
I'd agree that Normans are top-tier. That whole "Conquering Britain" thing was a feat.
