Week three: Essay Questions
1. Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how human beings behave?
- Understanding the theory of Evolution is almost key to learning why we as humans have evolved the way we have and why we act the way we do. Evolution is also a tricky subject to talk about too, because of its controversy of the world and how life began on it, let alone evolve into what would eventually become us. Like its stated in "The DNA of Consciousness" by Andrea Diem-Lane, people are split between how Genesis really happened and even ranges from the world being five billion years old to just being only a few thousand years old. This much controversy on this subject is why it's so important to understand where we come from in order to predict where we're going. While also watching the many videos listed for week three, especially "evolution explained in four minutes," it explained how we're all really living books of information, that our genome is a living record of all that came before us. So it isn't hard to grasp that evolution is simply a by product of information stored In our DNA over time, which given enough time is what it inevitably does I believe and is proof of Evolution itself. In fact evolution is known to have repeated itself over and over again and not understanding evolution has in fact lead us humans to drastically change the world by destroying countless Eco systems in nature and caused many animal species to near extinction and even the warming of the oceans. To end this on a good note though as stated in the book "Science tells us the story about who we are where we come from and where we are going," and we behave as nature or evolution has intended us to and it's coded in our DNA.
2. Which questions do you think evolutionary theory cannot answer?
- While trying to understand Evolution what one finds are many unexplained questions that cannot be explained with evolution. For example the theory of Evolution does little in providing any real answers to how the first forms of life came together. If DNA is a strand of information thats been collected and put together over time, then at one point it must have been one single code of info that some how just grew into the first non intelligent life form. This perhaps could have happened in a puddle of amino acids that randomly bumped into each other creating the first building blocks of life. Religion does play a part in telling how life began, but often collides and clashes with evolution, because in a way evolution disproves the ancient stories of how God supposedly created us through Adam and Eve. It's also shown in our C.T.A.G and genes that we have all the same genetic codes that have ever existed like from the genetic connection film "If it's not broken don't fix it" and that would make up certain physical features and characteristics that other species have proving that all life's mutations and information is coded in every living thing on earth including us. However, we don't yet have access to all of these codes and cannot yet switch them on and off causing dramatic mutations to take place. It's well known that we have tail bones and may have once had fur like other mammals, so you see we're very much connected with other species showing evolution may have had a big role in shaping life on this planet. Like its stated In the Evolutionary imperative video "None of our ancestors failed in their genetic transmissions since otherwise we could not exist."
