Short Essay on the Origin of Humanity
We live on a planet believed to be 4.5 billion years of age with millions of people covering all parts of it. Where did they come from? Did the whole human population originate from one people or were we placed here and then improved or changed by an intervention? I believe that humanity on planet earth was created by evolution.
There seems to be quite a bit more substantial evidence on earth to support the theory of evolution. The evidence holds up more because actual samples of fossils have been collected and scientifically tested using a method called carbon dating to determine the age of the fossils. Which can then be examined and placed along a timeline? The time periods show slight differences in bone structure showing what is hypothesized to the human evolving.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The theory of evolution states that creatures change overtime to suit their surroundings. This is called environmental adaptation. The more a creature can adapt to its environment the greater chance it has of living and show an increase in population called survival of the fittest.
A theory developed by a scientist named Charles Darwin who had conducted extensive research into the environmental adaptations of animals, for example the adaptation of the Galapagos turtles from short neck to long neck so they could reach their food. This theory helps to prove the theory that humans evolved from apes so they could increase their chances of survival.
The creationist theory is merely pen and paper whereas the evolutionary theory is actual living proof that humans did evolve from apes and why the environmental adaptations have made humans the dominant creatures on earth.
