Unfortunately, our universal adaptation to “save” Earth’s species resulted in several devastating effects. The largest of which influences humans. This scenario is best observed in the Sundarbans, as expressed in The Hungry Tide by Amitav…

Political polarization has always been a deeply rooted reality of American politics but it traces further back than the United States itself. Darwin proposed that morality was an adaption which evolved by natural selection both at an individual level and a group level.
