For this topic to reach your display screen, five separate forms of evolution must precede it.
- Cosmological: without the Big Bang, what we call the universe wouldn't exist
- Geological: before biological life can evolve, the basic chemical components must be present
- Biological: it took approximately as long for the first cell to evolve, as it has for multi-cellular organisms to reach contemporary levels
- Sociological: Buddha, Newton, Skinner, Wilson, & many others sparked new insights integrated into evolving society
- Technological: we've witnessed the analog to digital revolution
Each of these successive steps preceded you considering this topic.
Well tailored business attire may seem to suggest to some we have evolved beyond the animals. Actually, not so much. Wolves from the same pack may snarl, nip, quarrel over their share of the kill. Humans don't?
Humans in cultures of plenty have no need for "zero sum" supply squabbles. If your neighbor (or stranger) grabs from the supermarket shelf the product you'd planned to reach for, you can simply grab the identical container from the same display.
Some may believe humans don't snarl for their share of food because we've evolved biologically beyond the animals.
More likely, we don't need to because technological evolution, food and other commodities in abundant supply, renders it unnecessary.
Your desk calendar may include business or social appointments. Are you aware of how near the surface your own biological / animal drives are to who you are?
