The reason for Evolution is the survival of the most enduring; of the most robust or efficient; finally, the most adaptable, since a given environment is always apt to change. Each human being is at a slightly different stage of evolution from all others; this is manifest in our genetic make ups. To be human, we have all arisen from very similar causes, but none - even identical twins - are exactly identical. This is the proof of Evolution; that out of the long and complex lineage of development, amid shifting environments, across the variations of the World, emerges a collective of quite subtly amended beings - Humanity. Each has their strengths and weaknesses; some are stronger (in a pertinent context), others cleverer; some more adaptable and who flourish in times of uncertainty; the strength of others is broken by change. So, both genetically and circumstantially, individuals vary. But humans - increasingly on a global level, through information technology - function as a co-operative matrix, which separates and pools the positive, and evens out or ostracises the negative - the undesirable - and the rewards are not equally shared either. It has been said that we are now engaged in the third world war, not militarily, since there would be no advantage - it would be a human global disaster - but through the more subtle political device of economics. Thus a new world order is being established, but with minimum capital losses; maximising the spoils for the victors. Copyright © 2001 Chris James Last updated 12 March, 2005 |
