That might be an actual problem. I don't know. I hope she gets regular check ups.
"People are bigger,faster,smarter,and stronger than they were 100 years ago."
Better diet. Better living conditions. I don't think this is an example of evolution.
"How is it that athletes have no limits,and is contantly making new records?In my opinion,that is evolution."
Maybe. But it might also be improved understanding of biomechanics and how diet affects body chemistry, as well as improved training techniques.
Exactly,changing and finding new ways.Change is what evolution is all about,isn't it?And I don't think great athletes become great because of gatorade or their so called improved training.People 1000 years ago would perhaps even see us today as "unlike" them.But my point is training and diet I think has limits.And new world records in athletics are constantly being made.
