Why don't we have horns and claws?

If it's a process of evolution, then surely retractable claws would be great for all beings. Gills would be useful, I could make great use of wings too. Why hasn't a being evolved with all of the good things?

Apparently, you've never met my ex-wife.

Reply:I would like to think it is because we don't need them.
Reply:Because God Create us like this You should be thankful to God because we're the smartest Specimen have Ever live! Homo Sapiens Sapiens is the most Intelligent Species of all the Living things!
Reply:women give me the horn and women do have claws, so i suppose we do!
Reply:We are spiritual beings. We are top of evolution, we supposed to protect the environment and other beings (whether fellow humans, animal, creatures, etc). Definitely not harm them. This is the sole reason we have no claws or horn so we don't need attack others for food, defense, etc. We have the most sophisticated mind, to be used to develop oneself at higher level and not towards the lower level. Actions need to be high and spiritual, to love towards other fellow men, environment and to oneself.





Evidence - just look at meat eating animals they have real canine teeth to tear flesh, claws, aggression and the calm vegetarian animals don't. We are more like vegetarian animals in many ways.
Reply:Early humans evolved on an arid plain in Africa. Not being much water around, there wasn't much call for gills.





Wings only work for animals with relatively small bodies. The larger the body, the more energy it takes to get it to fly, and the larger the wings have to be. Go google "gossamer condor" or "gossamer albatross" to see how big the wings have to be for a man-powered aircraft. One of those was man-powered, I think.





Retractable claws are more a feature of carnivorous predators - big cats, especially. At the time that we would have been evolving them, proto-humans were more prey than predator. We had to learn to get out of the way rather than hunt down something else.
Reply:Have you ever seen a cat type? Each "good" thing has a price, be it weight (horns), specialization of limbs (wings), loss of digital flexibility (claws). Humans, by specializing their upper limbs for throwing and their hands for toolmaking, went down a different path.
Reply:hello God created you if you didn't already know there's nothing to prove evolution but there's alot to prove God created us duh!
Reply:Try growing your finger %26amp; toe nails - that's the closest you'll get to claws.
Reply:We just recently stopped swinging from tree to tree...give it time.
Reply:We're already on the top of the food chain, what more do you want?
Reply:I HAVE KNOW A FEW MEN WITH HORN'S LOL. AND A FEW GIRLS WITH CLAW'S
Reply:That's a pretty subjective point of view. Remember evolution is about what gives a creature advantage in its environment in any given time - that environment is constantly changing so don't assume its always been like this.





Short answer: gills are close to useless in a warm blooded animal, and claws don't come close to the utility of finger/thumb.
