WEEK 4 1)The theory of evolution is so important to understand how human beings behave because it shows us where we have come from and where we are potentially headed by looking at the steps it took to bring where we are today. The theory of evolution states that we use the genes that benefit us and mutate the genes that are bad for us. "We now have convincing proof that evolution occurs when accidental mutations create features such as spots or stripes that impart an advantage for attracting mates, hiding from or confusing predators, or gaining access to food," (Page 15). In modern day, we are looking for ways to better our lives, for example, creating technology to improve our lives and adding robotic limbs to people who are handicapped. Its interesting to know that all animals automatically are mutating the bad genes and keeping the good genes.
2)The evolutionary theory can’t answer the question of what we are doing here or what is our purpose in life. And many people may say that we are here by a random conscience, a product of the laws of the universe. But without having any purpose, there is no urge to do anything. But I strongly believe that we all are affected by purpose even the other species. For us humans, it can be simple as getting an expensive car which leads us to work harder to get the money to buy the car. Whereas a lion, the purpose is to survive by hunting and killing.
