Technological evolution

Charles Darwin is a scientist that came up with the theory of natural selection to explain variation and evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype (Zimmer&Emlen, 2013). This means that in an environment where the condition is constantly changing, species that stay in that environment and use it as their habitat adapt to the changes of the environment to survive the changes and their off springs are also able to…

The Fermi Paradox There’s an estimate of 100,00 intelligent civilizations in our galaxy, yet humans are experts on making everything about them. The Fermi Paradox establishes two different points of view where one may be correct and prove the other wrong: there’s life all through the universe or we are all by ourselves. Both are only speculations, but I believe the first one is closer to the truth. Though, most of us will rather ignore or not even accept the fact that human life and life…

the advancement of knowledge and welfare, it is equally aware that may cause environmental problems, and threaten important values and beliefs for social cohesion. Frankenstein myth is just a symbolic representation of the fear that our technological creations surpass us and master, a systematic idea recent contributions of philosophy and sociology of science and technology. Insurance that Frankenstein's ghost strolls around for the mind of more than one, though, unlike in the…

or so. From the aftermath of the Big Bang this planet arose as a mass of energy and elements. From that newly born mass of energy and elements evolved structured, dynamic systems containing three states of matter, solids, liquids, and gases. The evolution of this planet continued to unfold over billions of years in such a unique way that eventually conditions emerged with the ability to foster life. Everything is connected to everything. From the largest animals, such as whales, and elephants…

Nowadays, the boundaries of technological advancement are limitless. Evolution has progressed to the point where our great, sentient species could accomplish anything if it had the time. If it had the time. If the human species is to survive this troubling time of global warming, pollution and intraspecific conflict, it is scientifically-certified that our species will morph into something almost unrecognisable in a few million years. Scientists theorise that in the foreseeable future, as little…

The Selfish Gene and comes from an association between gene and mimesis. Dawkins also points to a close kinship with the French word same. Memes were presented by Dawkins as replicators, comparable in this respect to genes, but responsible for the evolution of certain animal behaviors and cultures. Dawkins's definition is a unit of information in a brain, exchangeable within a society. It results from an assumption that cultures evolve as living beings, and variations by natural selection. Like…

Despite these challenges, and while it took millions of years of evolution, hominids were able to survive, first be using hardwired capacities to communicate, as we saw earlier, and then by developing cultural codes, which developed into complex social structures in modern…

species to live, and the “unfit” to die. It is inferred that the fit organisms go on to reproduce and that is how certain traits of different animals came to be, as Darwin argued that all animals came from a single common ancestor. Darwin’s theory of evolution caused much argument and is surrounded in controversy to this day. However, it also caused widespread curiosity and it caused many people to question their existence and our purpose as human beings. Despite this, Darwin’s theory caused…

Years ago, species such as the Pyrenean Ibex, Passenger Pigeon, and the Wooly Mammoth used to roam the very same earth that we humans walk today. These species, along with many others have gone extinct over the course of time and now only fossils remain. However, Scientists are using biotechnology in an attempt to bring these species back from the dead. This process is known as de-extinction. De-Extinction, also known as resurrection biology, is the scientific process of resurrecting species…

conditions of life as health, education, and comfort of living. Figure 2: Industrial Revolution showed a huge improvement of the human standard of living. Malthusian Trap suggested that for most of human history, income was largely stagnant because technological advances and discoveries were not enough to increase the welfare and the standard of living of people. This industrial era generated a significant growth of human beings population: In the 20th century, human population increased from…
