Survival of the Fittest...

So I am doing my studies today, Life sciences which is basically biology and more, and we are talking about evolution. For those of you who think that evolution is bullshit, I am sorry to say that it isn't. Science doesn't lie, it may be incorrect as we find more information, but the purpose of science is to understand the world around us.

Anyway back to evolution. Was doing some research and read something really interesting.
"A new study suggests the need for endurance made us what we are. Hunting or scavenging on the African savannah was the genesis of the Nike empire, the thinking goes. Those who ran well separated themselves from the pack of apes and became the earliest humans, eating protein that enlarged their brains.

Running got us out of the trees and made us smarter."[(Miller, 2008)Livescience.com]

I mean how crazy is that. There is a reason for everything and everything has a reason regardless if we need it anymore or not. It was pretty interesting to find that evolution is so obscure but plays a vital role in every organism on the planet.  

Some of my friends and  I talk and occasionally these stories of rare feats of human accomplishments come up. For example uncles being able to take lug nuts off, change the tire, and put the lug nuts back on a car using their bar hands! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!? 

Of course this is the process of evolution and natural selection. In general our kind is growing smarter while the body grows weaker, by comparison. Not that it is weak and not that you can't make it stronger, I am just saying in general. 

Maybe in 200 years our bodies will be stick shaped and our brains huge, like I really know. The innovation of mankind is never absolute as long as there is always something to motivate it. I look forward to witnessing the next tech revolution, if it is my time, I shall be happy to have a part in it. 

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
