1. Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how human beings behave?
The theory of evolution is fundamentally important in understanding how we behave for several reasons. First the idea of evolution is the theory that we have slowly been evolving into ever better species more equipped to deal with modernity. The understanding of this evolution of a single celled organism into the complex organism known as man is part and parcel to understanding how we act and more importantly why we act the way we do. In understanding just what exactly makes us up, small particles known as DNA combining into the Double Helix discovered in the early 1950’S by professors Watson and Crick. In the end understanding what creates us can help to understand what drives us to do the things we do an the better we are able to read the map that has been written upon our DNA the better we will be at understanding ourselves and our actions.
2. Which questions has the theory of evolution not explained.
Currently the evolution theory has not explained if there is a creator or if the universe and the human being are or are not part of an intelligent design by a power or knowledge higher than anything we are able to as of yet understand. Although I truly doubt that this question will remain long unanswered as of date as it was in Darwin’s time The theory of evolution still does not answer the God question as Wallace himself grappled with in trying to understand how self-awareness can come from nothing as seen in the video Darwin V- Wallace debate. I do believe however that as man’s quest for empirical evidence to his existence continues many of the old myths and legends societies used to explain that which they did not understand will be replaced with hard empirical evidence.
