1.Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how human beings behave?
The theory of evolution is really important in understanding how human beings behave, because the theory of evolution shows us how we changed and who are we. By the theory of evolution, we can then learn about our past and where we came from and why we are the way we are now. We also can know the human beings behave is influenced by evolution that we can be able to better accommodate our world during thousands and thousands years.
According the DNA of consciousness, natural selection is a good example to support my opinion. Natural selection acts to preserve and accumulate minor advantageous genetic mutations. Suppose a member of a species developed a functional advantage (it grew wings and learned to fly). Its offspring would inherit that advantage and pass it on to their offspring. The inferior members of the same species would gradually die out, leaving only the superior members of the species.
2.Which questions do you think evolutionary theory cannot answer?
I think many questions evolutionary theory cannot answer. Because evolutionary theory doesn’t include the whole world, and it also cannot answer the whole world. A really famous question that evolutionary theory cannot answer is which came first? Egg or Chicken? These are a huge section of dialectical logic question, like which came first? Time, Space, Matter or energy? Male or Female? Who knows that! No one can really answer the question which came first actually, you can either say it is egg came first or is it chicken came first. Even if Darwin is still life, I think he cannot answer the questions like them.
