The evolution of man, devolved, stagnant or evolving...?

Question

Why from time infinite and the creation of humans is it that humans are unable to coexist in harmony betwen sexes, classes , and races from the time of the Creator Adam, Lillith and Eve. We have yet to attain perfect peace, eternal youth, and health. man strives today, works, fights, hates, kills, craves, envies and suffers.

Answer 1

You know I would love to answer this...but I am not sure who Lillith is???  I would say still evolving though, if I were to venture a guess.  We would have to be.  With the changes in the environment, varieties of foods and food additives, corrective surgeries and medicine I think it will eventually make an impact on the future of man/woman.

Answer 2

According to a recent 'milestone' study.   Human evolution has been accelerating in recent times.

Answer 3

devolution

Answer 4

You are confusing biology and sociology.  Evolution by natural selection occurs when genes that enhance reproduction are selected for.  Perhaps the genes that lead to such behaviors  in humans have some root in enhanced reproduction.  This is an oversimplified answer for a complex question.  However, you don't ask the correct question.

Answer 5

Evolving, just badly

Answer 6

Human beings are most certainly evolving.  Today, there are more human beings alive than ever before in our species evolutionary history, and we are moving around the planet more than ever.  Gene flow is in full flux.

There is no such biological concept as 'devolving' or 'de-evolution'.  Also, there is one race, the human race.  All variation in modern humans is clinal and extremely minor.

Cultural diversity has limited, and promoted gene flow and genetic drift in the last ten thousand years.  Mutation and adaptive radiation also play a role in evolution.

Answer 7

We are evolving, species dont evolve every year, it takes millions of years, but to prove it. In medieval times people where a lot smaller than now.

   And i think with climate change coming fast, were gonna get some real evolutional changes. So if in 50 years your grandchild is born with 10 eyes. Then we know :P

Answer 8

It would be nice to know where we're going... there arent to many survival issues left... and I sure do not need to run for my life at least from an animal.

Answer 9

I believe you are mixing biological evolution (a cutthroat, fighting and killing enterprise about survival of the fittest) with cultural evolution (primarily a human phenomenon).  Human history has usually been a story of dominating each other, striving for power rather than peace.  The peaceful monks that are raided and slaughtered leave only their legend behind.  One day we may destroy ourselves or the environment enough to either wipe the slate clean or wake up and realize all of this must change.

Besides, would you really want eternal youth?  I think part of the problem is that there are too many people already, if we had eternal youth we'd have to find a way to control the population into a number much lower than it is now.

Answer 10

Because we are built to strive & compete ?

Or we're just plain greedy ?

Answer 11

We are evolving,,consider the Apendix a now defunct organ,the fact that modern man has wider shoulders than we did 100 years ago,,etc etc

Answer 12

we will cease to evolve further if the vegetarians get their way. We'll become the hunted.

Answer 13

The idea of harmony of humans is ridiculous. Why would you bring a scientific idea like evolution into such mythology?

Anyways, without struggle, man would be bereft of honor, courage, heroism, passion, and comraderie. Such an existance would be a sad one.

Answer 14

Man strives today, works, fights, hates, kills, craves, envies and suffers because man is a predatory organisms and that's what predatory organisms been doing for billions of years.

Answer 15

there are so many things which are still beyond the grasp of our understanding. what percentage of our brains do we use nowadays? even the concept of time is limited and limiting. i believe we are standing on a threshold. behind us: totally instinctive behaviour and beyond: (bear with me because my brain is only working at 10% of it's full ability, so it's hard to describe what i hope is to come) behaviour which is born of a harmonious coexistence between instinct and very sophisticated reasoning powers. thousands of years, millions of years, may turn out to be nothing more than a very tiny dot on the time-space continuum.

Answer 16

whaaat? id ont get your details... but i think man is barely evolving... maybe in a 1000 years we will lose the pinky fingers and have somewhat more use of the brain but thats it

Answer 17

Perhaps we're killer apes after all:
