run that same experiment thousands of times over millions of years with different size rafts during different seasons and weather conditions. monkeys aren’t going to suicide by jumping into the ocean |

Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:42 PM Author: robot daddy Why did they just happen to land at the one point or piece of land that has the same type of jungle environment they originated in and why just this one time, only with monkeys? It is way to convenient for explaining away an anomaly that breaks the other models. It is more likely that the land masses separated with the monkeys already in them, and then the two jungles continued to develop in similar but divergent ways. Continents separating, then monkeys sailing on rafts to reach the other jungle is a bit too convenient and implausible (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837536&forum_id=2)#49689082) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:43 PM Author: '"''"'''" It probably happened dozens of times and most of the times they never made it or ended up in an inhospitable place. but when you consider prevailing ocean currents South America is a likely destination. it still happens to this day, and they’ve found non terrestrial insects on those rafts (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837536&forum_id=2)#49689087) |

Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:50 PM Author: robot daddy lol link to another example of a mammal successfully making a transatlantic journey on a "vegetation raft", let alone then reproducing and resulting in the amount of diversity you see in new world monkeys. you can't. and its not just that, the biggest issue is that this hypothesis is not even well-motivated, it is specifically being used to explain an anomaly in a way that avoids questioning other models thats the biggest issue its way too convenient. even if 20 monkeys made it over the idea that they just transplant over to the other jungle and generate that level of diversity is an absolute joke. its much more plausible that the jungles separated with the monkeys still in them.

Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:51 PM Author: '"''"'''" off the top of my head, the Hawaiian hoary bat (trans-pacific). It’s the only mammal native to Hawaii. And no, they cannot “fly” that far. Bats are good over short distances. They don’t soar like birds do. for this to happen with an earth raft, it’s usually going to be a species that lives in trees (like bats and monkeys) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837536&forum_id=2)#49689137) |

Date: February 23rd, 2026 1:09 PM Author: robot daddy Hoary bats and dozens of other hawaiian flora and fauna are another huge example of FRAUDLIES, they represent dozens of independent "impossible" colonization events all stacked on top of each other, each explained away individually rather than confronted as a collective anomaly. It's a collection of individual just-so stories that have never been satisfactorily unified into a single coherent account (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837536&forum_id=2)#49689212) |

Date: February 23rd, 2026 1:55 PM Author: robot daddy Are you retarded? My entire point is all about more rigorous explanations, and intellectual honesty about incomplete models, and you think that means I think "God did it?". This is seriously why I hate midwit redditors like you, because you cannot even imagine the idea that people would challenge ideas due to genuine structural tension in models. You assume retarded shit is correct because its in a book, and then when someone challenges it its because they believe in "God". And the reason for it is simple too-- you don't have thoughts of your own outside what groups of humans or institutions think. If an institution claims something its "correct" until its not, and if anyone challenges it its because they are siding with an alternative institution (some religion).

Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:35 PM Author: robot daddy New World monkeys (monkeys found in South and Central America) are closely related to African monkeys based on genetic and fossil evidence. The problem is that South America and Africa were already separated by the Atlantic Ocean by the time these monkeys appear in the fossil record, around 35-40 million years ago.
The leading hypothesis for how they got there is that a small group of African primates accidentally floated across the Atlantic on a "vegetation mat"-- essentially a tangled mass of trees, roots, and debris that gets swept into the ocean during storms and floods. The idea is that some monkeys got stranded on one of these mats, drifted on ocean currents, and somehow survived the journey to reach South America. That founding population then evolved into all the New World monkey species we see today.
My issue with this is its ridiculous and that there is no way this happened. I don't know how it happened but it wasn't that. I think the most likely explanation has to be that the timelines for when Africa and SA separated and when primates emerged have to be wrong. People argue there are hard limits on the primate emergence timeline and on continental drift, but I see them as more guesswork than they are willing to admit. |

Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:40 PM Author: '"''"'''" what exactly is your objection to this theory? a giant earth raft like the one in the video above wouldn’t sink. It would float just like a log until it reaches another coast. if there were monkeys on board where would they go? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837536&forum_id=2)#49689074) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:45 PM Author: robot daddy There is zero evidence for it and its essentially unfalsifiable. Its basically a just-so story to explain an anomaly in a way that preserves other models that are already thought to be true (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837536&forum_id=2)#49689095) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:46 PM Author: '"''"'''" your theory that the timelines are wrong is easily falsifiable since we have the fossile evidence to back it up (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837536&forum_id=2)#49689097) |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2026 12:52 PM Author: robot daddy lol no not true at all. it isn't just about fossil evidence its about when the continents may have separated. the dating of continental separation isn't read directly from the rock--it's modeled. You're reconstructing past positions from current magnetic striping on the ocean floor, from hotspot tracks, from sedimentary sequences, all of which have error bars that tend to get quietly compressed in the final narrative.
The primate fossil record is even softer. Absence of fossils from a period doesn't mean there couldn't have been primates. It just means absence of preserved and discovered fossils, which is a completely different thing. The Amazon basin is one of the worst places on earth for fossil preservation. We are almost certainly missing enormous chunks of the story. |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2026 1:25 PM Author: '"''"'''" Im not talking about the absence of fossils. Im referring to the ones that exist. We can measure the similarities in the primate fossils that existed on both continents 40 million years ago and then see how they diverged from there (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5837536&forum_id=2)#49689264) |

So you accept Gould's argument about "diff species" but ignored the Spandrels paper? |
|
Date: February 23rd, 2026 2:01 PM Author: robot daddy Do you think anyone actually believes it though? Even if the genetics are close enough, that doesn't explain away differences, because chimps are genetically close to humans and the effective difference can be massive, even if closer to other creatures. The morphological, cultural, linguistic, cognitive, tool-using differences between different "sub-types" of humans is massive. For other animals we declare a new species for tiny divergences.
