Werefoxofsimi	Other Types of zombies... Oct 25 2008, 7:07 AM EDT I know quite a bit about zombies. Mainly due to the fact that I'm fascinated by the Occult and Horrific things in life The 'Infected' are more often than not human, but there are times when the bacteria evolves and changes parts of the human structure to improve it for the precautions we make I.E. Body armor around the body, neck, legs,etc. or even defenses against our guns Usually Infected don't get to that stage of development because it takes tens of thousands of years like how we did to evolve for this to happen, and by then most of the first strain would be either down or the bacteria dies. "IF" an infected does live that long though it could adapt claws, fangs, or other means of rendering our armor useless, while building up higher tolerance to our guns and explosives. "Could zombies develop their own cammoflauge (sp) like Chameleons?" That's theoretically improbable unless it had some kind of implanted mechanical device that allowed it to do so. Other suspicions about zombie 'evolution' are things like infecting animals or infecting plants as well. It is very possible that such things could happen, both are organic, and both are affected by parasites, toxins, and other means of death. I don't know if this would be helpful to this page per say, so I just added it to a thread. If this has been some help I'd be happy to put more of my knowledge to the better use of humanity. Please either E-mail me or even reply to this, I do hope to get some feed back. Take care, and don't ever let your guard down... Post reply 3 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable?

byates	1. RE: Other Types of zombies... Oct 25 2008, 12:40 PM EDT I am having trouble picturing the conditions that would create these type of evolutionary conditions. The vector would need to be the party evolving, this would require a continuous supply of host and the environmental pressure to evolve. Plus, the time to make the changes. Look at other creatures, noting has evolved armor to resist the alligator or lion or bear. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Werefoxofsimi	2. RE: Other Types of zombies... Nov 18 2008, 11:52 PM EST You make a valid counter point. It took us millions of years either way to get to where we are. Though the conditions are not present there 'could' be that small chance. A better way to re-state the evolution is to say they may either adapt a way to either break through tough armor (Kevlar for example) with either sharper teeth, perhaps claws, etc. (As I mentioned earlier) An effective defense against guns, explosives, and other effective means is possible, but yes the environmental pressure would have to be present for a long period of time. Maybe a more plausible way to put it is maybe more resilience to gunfire, like taking more bullets to go down (Save for the head). Thanks for replying by the way. I don't know if I could put exactly what conditions may cause the evolution, but be it science or just dumb luck of the evolutionary chain it is a slim but not impossible probability.

FireFight	3. RE: Other Types of zombies... Nov 19 2008, 12:41 AM EST in relation to zombies developing claws and fangs traditionaly evolution requiers hat the genes mutate over generations, each generations genes changing until the optimal form is reached however the story of a small lizzard in australia that evolved large claws to climb trees in a single generation would seem to combat this trend. you never know, mabey zombies will be able to adapt rapidly to its environment Post reply Do you find this valuable?
RossZedsoc	4. RE: Other Types of zombies... Nov 19 2008, 2:10 PM EST in terms of zombie evolution of the host form, this would be relient on the zombies in question mating, reproducing and the weakest of those offspring dying out. I personally dont think that zombies can mate as they have no drive to do so seeing as how their desires and wants are based on an infection or virus. if the virus doesnt want the host to have sex then the host will not have sex. the virus is unlikely to wnat to the host to have sex as there are more effective ways for the virus to reproduce and that is the only reason for sex in the first place. therefore i think we can all rest easy knowing that even if zombies do manage to develop a way to evolve, despite the laws of nature standing in the way, then it will not be in our life times and we can still use the old shoot 'em in the head technique as an effective method of undead control.

DaveBall	5. RE: Other Types of zombies... Nov 19 2008, 2:50 PM EST "REVERS" From Serenity (Fire Fly). People who were infected by the government. Who were infected by an agent added to air purifying equipment. It was designed to make the people less hostile. But It killed 80% but turned 10% of the survivors into a Murdering, raping, rampaging, hoard of crazies. Post reply 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
