I saw that thread earlier and now I'm going to have to go back and find out how on Earth it got related to bird people.

Man so bird flu would have really screwed us...
Also, I think that the flying V would have a huge significance in our culture.
What kind of instruments would we have made?

Cars would be pretty stupid
Unless offcourse we were the kind of birds not able to fly,
If we came from Pingvins, we might have focused on land transport, like we do beeing primates, as we would be even more slow and clumpsy (is that correct eng. ?) on ground.
NB:
Taking part in this, makes me think i might be stoned, even though im clear as running water

If we had evolved from birds, there would still be an species made of humanoid idiots who would love to shoot us down from the sky so they could get their little gonads inflated with manliness.

You're going to fit into PA just fine OP Which means you will inevitably grow to hate this place and people but can't break the addiction Have fun :D BTW I didn't evolve from anything. I just am. You all should be thanking me for my presence but it hasn't happened yet

We are talking about bird people here. I'm not sure if we're even caring about the science of it. I'm just talking about how culture might be different.
And even though I'm 24 years old, I think of health class because we had these books called "TOTALLY AWESOME HEALTH" and they were just terrible terrible books. They were trying to get 15 year olds interested by using the phrase 'totally awesome' and they didnt just use it in the title.
Back to topic though- I feel like if we were Bird People, I'm not sure if we would have the technological advances we have today. Maybe possibly we would have developed opposible claws though? Would we have even invented cars or would we have went straight to inventing flying apparatuses that made our flying easier?
I'm not going to lie, I think I'm way too interested in this subject but its ok.
I wish we could talk about evolving from dinosaurs too but The Super Mario Bros Movie did that for us, and that MOVIE IS PERFECT.

There already were intelligent bipedal land creatures in the bird lineage....velociraptors.
So they'd probably look kinda like that.
I must admit that the first thing I thought of with the topic was not 9th grade health videos.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

We'd be asking the age-old question, "Why did the monkey cross the road?"

This idea is taken from another thread about Ryan Seacrest. But I felt this could be a fun topic.
If people evolved from birds instead of apes... what would we all look like, talk like, etc.
Birth would suddenly happen from an egg, so we would no longer have to watch disgusting vagina-birth videos in health class in 9th grade.
Also, since we have pedophiles in our culture, I think there would be entire groups of bird people attracted to eggs.
Would we be less likely to eat eggs of other species? Would apes be normal food and all bird related foods be taboo?
How else would culture be different?
These important questions should be answered. And feel free to ask any others.
