Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how humans behave?
The theory of evolution is so important because it tells us that we are a success. Through our ancestor, none of them became extinct and they’ve survived nature’s twist and turns. We have out competed while others have not. We have coined survival of the fittest. This could only be done so by the natural selection and variation of our DNA. It is coded by only 4 letter proteins that not could code a genome, but the fate of whom we are. It is a wonder how 4 letters could bring up a planet of living organism all coded differently but able to live under one biome. Understanding how one person behaves gives us a sense as to what is our role in the world we live in and how we came about the way we are. Through evolution, we are able to give reasons as to why we behave the way we do.
Which question do you think evolutionary theory cannot answer?
This is a good question because it is easy to point out the evolutionary phylum tree. Yes, there are light, pressures, and endosymbiosis over evolution that takes place which makes bacteria live within a cell, such as the mitochondria and chloroplast. It is easy to say, organelles without a true membrane lived first, but what really started everything, is difficult to answer. When we view things at such a small scale, things go uncertain because is it not in our brain capacity to understand at such miniscule level. It could have been the phylum porifera that started it, but how did evolution take place to create a walking, talking, technological advance human? We can say we are primates, but how come there are no other primate like-humans? Questions regarding the start of everything still cannot be solved by the evolutionary theory.
