"What the unique shape of the human heart tells us about our evolution (20 Aug 2024, The Conversation). Aimee Drane, a “senior lecturer and clinical academic” at Swansea University, sees major
"We believe the human heart evolved away from the trabeculated structure seen in the other great apes to enhance its ability to twist and contract more efficiently. This increased twisting motion, along with the smooth ventricular walls, probably allows the human heart to pump a larger volume of blood with each beat. This meets the heightened demands of our physical activity and larger brains."
She doesn’t understand her own theory.
Nothing “evolves to” do something.
That would imply foresight, purpose, and direction.
She should have read Meredith Root-Bernstein’s article in PNAS on August 12, “Evolution is not driven by and toward increasing information and complexity,” where she chides other evolutionists who assume “that evolution is progress, via selection for increasing complexity.” Not true! “Most fundamentally, their underlying assumption that there is such a thing as ‘selection for’ violates valid reasoning in evolutionary biology.”
Aimee, this means you need to rely completely on sheer dumb luck! And we don’t care what you imagine “probably” happened (did you calculate any mathematical probabilities?).
Science is about demonstration.
Aimee and her 16 accomplices in the paper in Communications Biology mentioned “evolution” 23 times, merely assuming it.....they all appealed to mythical “selective pressure” to believe that the Spirit of Darwin pushed humans to invent hearts suitable for their upright posture and big brains."
