proof?

In evolutionary biology, convergent evolution is the process whereby organisms not closely related (not monophyletic), independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches.

Maybe! Depending on something very specific i cant quite put my finger on.

It might happen but the odds are astronomically low that the aliens would look human enough for you to consider them human.

The best you could hope for would be a bipedal lifeform with bilateral symmetry and a digestive tract separate from the sexual organs. They're not going to be blue women with big heaving titties.

This thread pops up here fairly regularly and I've posted at length on why humanoid is the only likely arrangement for technologically savvy intelligent lifeforms. And each time I genuinely and humbly ask to be proved wrong, but nobody can, because developmental biology and physiology reasons. I would love the possibility of there being something wild out there, but it doesn't seem to be so.

The best possibility I could come up with would be reptilian humanoid, like a Cardassian.

why'd you say mathematician instead of "number people" or "nerds"

Because I respect them and their discipline.

Don't listen to anyone who says you can't do it. Math is easy, I used to struggle at math too, cuz I didn't give a single shit, all you have to do is apply yourself put in alot of effort and you'll git gud at math, unless you have a major disability or genetic problem with numbers and logic, you can do it.

How the fuck do you fail high school algebra?

It's impossible to truly disprove what you're saying, and there have been arguments made for that sort of thing before, but to me it seems like the sheer breadth of human variety would preclude the mind arising deterministically from the factors around us. Still, the brain is very complex and poorly understood. It's possible. If it is the case, it probably depends on enough very tiny often-changing factors that it doesn't make much of a difference.

It's probably not something that we can know until we've fully mapped the consciousness onto the brain, and we're a hell of a long ways away from that.

>all of our traits are the results of what was most fit for the environment
not really.
they are the result of what was most fit out of the space of possibilities of the random mutations that happened in our particular ancestral lines, not the best possible ones.

The answer to your question requires a higher formal education to comprehend.
Do you have one?

science is not interested in truth, for this you want philosophy. science is about making inferences, from particular examples to general rules, and making these inferences explicit, falsifiable, coherent with logic, observations and the pre-existing theories. scientific method is just a tool to describe a subset of reality, and it doesn't have the pretence to be anything more than this.

you dont need inherent faith in syense when you have inherent faith in reproducibility

I like trig. It rhymes with my favorite word. Can you guess it?

Penrose Triangle.

How about you start by checking whether [math]S[/math] and [math]N[/math] are both well-defined according to ZFC?

[math]S[/math] can't exist by the Axiom of Regularity

Let [math]S[/math] be a finite collection of symbols representing numerical sets such that [math]\mathbb{N}\in S[/math].
Does [math]S[/math] contain [math]\mathbb{N}[/math] as set of natural numbers?
What is the distinction between set and its symbol?

It's been happening for years. Did you just crawl out from under a rock?

I hate how there are actual shills on /sci/ just to disprove science.
Look like the fucking kikes finally opened their hands are giving out many jobs.
I bet they will arrive on this thread shortly.

>>9108768
I'm now attacking these people at a new, lower level with the term "neo-lysenkoism". They hate facts, but they understand isms.

>>9108727
Damn /sci/ should write a physics book with problems like these.

If you look at the angle she jumped at and trace it aback in order for her to get fish she'd need a velocity so fast that she essentially travels a straight line for the next 20-30 centimeters

>>9108996
i think she missed the fish on purpose in order to make a cute picture.

But I don't like dancing.
And I don't like singing with others.

I like peace. Even though I have no problems with going out.

>>9108696
Everyone likes dancing and singing.

how come earth doesnt fall into the sun

>>9108581
Gravity is weaker than the momentum the galaxies have outwards from "the centre of the universe".
Actually, they seem yo be a accelerating.

dark matter is a meme

So you don't even know what dark matter is but you still feel the need to make some kneejerk reaction about it being unscientific? Go fuck yourself

>>9108504
The data we have suggests that there is more mass out there than we observe based off of our understanding of gravity. You can draw one of two things from this: either our current understanding of gravity (which works in literally every other situation) is flawed, or there is mass out there that isn't emitting radiation.

Git gud.

dont feed pets cos its a waste of time, it'll take way to much money to get a usable pet, use your money on vault space instead if you're thinking of playing for a long time

Well i got around 60 vaults all ready and 15 slots and am looking to waste money because im irresponsible
