I think that's the idea - nature will only take us so far, and at a usless speed. Thus we evolve ourselves.pomegranate said:Well, it's not really evolution then is it? As in, changed characteristics that come out because of better adaptation to the environment. It's just forced, artificial change.
Not to labour a point, but wouldn't "develop" be more appropriate? I just think it's best to not confuse the fact that an important part of evolution is that it happens "automatically", with characteristics slowly emerging by survival of the fittest.....so 'evolving ourselves' is quite a different thing..."redesigning", perhaps.el Chi said:I think that's the idea - nature will only take us so far, and at a usless speed.

I repeat the picture is NOT a combine. Combine does not look like Overwatcher
The Overwatch is a part of the Combine, therefore the picture is Combine. The original Combine race (which now heavily depends on its own technology) isn't seen in HL2 (except for the Advisor).First of all, one of the picture is NOT the Combine. The picture could have been a representation of the Combine.
Because I have never seen Combine graffiti (yes, propaganda posters, but not graffiti). Plus, if you want proof, play the Coast levels. You'll see the same graffiti drawn behind a huge gas tank, where a resistance member lies dead with a can of spraypaint if I'm not mistaken.Second of all, how in the hell do you know that the resistance member drew that picture?
I don't know about you, but I read from the left to the right, and to me, that picture says Overwatch > Human > Ape. The actual meaning of the picture is open to discussions. If you like reading things backwards, then it could indeed represent evolution. Ask yourself, what kind of crazy resistance member (or Combine if you beleive so) would paint a picture representing evolution backwards?Third of all, you read from left to right. But there's no reason to look at the pictures from left to right. You can look at the pictures from any direction you want.
As far as I know, the Combine use posters and Breencasts as propaganda, not graffiti.Fourth of all, it's a Combine Propaganda from Breen. It's a Breen's job to spread their ideaology to humans as an Administrator.
That's not what I said. Read my post again. When I said Ape > Human > Combine, I meant that that would be the correct order if it were to represent evolution. The other order (Combine > Human > Ape) could mean dominence, but a resistance member would have no reason to paint something like that. The meaning of the graffiti is open to debate.If it indeed was a resistance member who draw that picture, why would he/she compare humans lesser to apes? It wouldn't totally make sense if the picture was apes > humans > combines which means apes are superior to humans.
