to believe or not to believe?
NIKHIL:
In the world we live in today, there is a theory that has been much debated on, its full of controversy, its the origin of mankind. the questions is always "did evoulution occur"?". Recentely as i was reading the online scientifict news, i came across this article where they mentioned that " snake threats may have spurned evolution" . I was left dumbfounded as never would i have imagined such a reason to trigger the evolution process. After reading the article, i realized that The ability to detect threatening snakes may have shaped the visual system of our primate ancestors. The primates evolved to obtain foward facing eyes which helped them aquire more depth in visualization. This helped them greatly to fend off from poisonous snakes. therefore we can say that the eyes we have today, is a product of survival. I hope to read more of these kind of articles which can explain our origin to a certain extent. However i must realize that the view of evolution is not accepted by a large number of communities in the world and that i have to respect their views and make statements that are neutral. More on this article can be read at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/08/060810-snake-evolve.html
Other than that, this topic is very open to interpretation. Some realists, say that evolution is not possbile, as the aim of evolution is to obtain maximum effiency and we human beings are not as effiecient as the amoeba. Therefore they claim that if the evolution theory is to be accepted, it should be like a more backward kind of evolution from human beings to amoeba's. This angle of looking at this topic completely contradicts the darwin's theory of evolution.
My interests lie very much in this topic and as a result to broaden my reasearch level, i have taken this topic as my Individualized study option . I hope to get a clearer understanding of this topic. In future i hope to shed some light on this and answer many peoples thoughts and questions as to where did the humans originate from.
