Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how human beings behave?
Why we do have to care about human evolution? Of the concern in trying to learn as much as possible about human evolutionary background, people are merely satisfying an innate genealogical inquisitiveness. In fact, people should discover more profound implications about ourselves and our essential natures because knowing the nature of the process of production is technique a manner that we can begin to understand the bizarre and contradictory ways in which humans sometimes behave. Surely, our species is fully integrated into the Great Tree of Life that unites all living things. According to the film, Charles Darwin, it begins by telling us how Darwin developed Natural Selection. He collected specimens all over the world. It was fossils that let Darwin to question how old Earth is, a theory at that time suggested that the world was formed slowly in a long period of time more than six thousand years ago, this led Darwin to think is it possible that the animals took that long to form as well.
Darwin found out the similarity of limbs between mammals. The narrator states that bacteria came first, followed my more complicated lives, and that species change over time. He came up wondering with the idea that humans breed species for our own needs, why nature can’t breed this way. Eventually, the conclusion is led that it is a kill or be kill world out there, species struggle for existence. Darwin realized that a little variety can change an animal’s chance of survival. The more it is able to survive, the more it is able to reproduce. Therefore, animals evolve in order to survive, to survive in order to reproduce. This is what Darwin calls natural selection. Indeed, it notes that it is important to realize how and what we should “behave” to survive.
