Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how human beings behave?
According to Darwin’s theory of evolution all living things have one common ancestor that we all share regardless of your race, gender, if you're purple or yellow or green or blue. His theory states that humans have evolved not only physically but neurologically as well, the way our brain works now has not always been this way. As time has passed the human mind has evolved in order to adapt to the current living situation and because of evolution Darwin’s theory is evidence of the evolution of human thinking process and it also has to do with behavioral adaptations depending on the situation. Human behavior will always evolve and as for generations to come little bits of it will be passed down. Theory of evolution says that natural selection chooses the fittest lives reason being is to leave offsprings and fight to survive but as for human beings they don't really behave that way. For humans we do not have natural selection and it we do not compete and destroy one another.
Which questions do you think evolutionary theory cannot answer?
How did life originate? “Even the simplest of these substances [proteins] represent extremely complex compounds, containing many thousands of atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen arranged in absolutely definite patterns, which are specific for each separate substance. To the student of protein structure the spontaneous formation of such an atomic arrangement in the protein molecule would seem as improbable as would the accidental origin of the text of Virgil’s ‘Aeneid’ from scattered letter type” (132-133). How fast did evolution occur? “ The “rapid evolution” postulated by Goldschmidt was largely rejected by his fellow scientists. Geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky of the Rockefeller University described the notion as being characterized by “imaginary phenomena” and he declared that no one “has ever observed the occurrence of a ‘systemic mutation’” (as quoted in Flanagan, 131), According to Darwin, he states that conscious mind came from unconscious mind. This also begs the question of where the intelligence has derived from (NeuralSurfer, 2013).
