Evolution.

My first post, being on evolution.

Now, we all know what evolution is; the change of heritable traits over time throughout generations. Changing in form, the way each animal thinks, the way it lives. Evolving throughout time.

Thinking about evolution lately has got me thinking; we only know about evolution from the past and present, nobody has a clue what’s going to happen in the future.

We all know that Charles Darwin formulated the scientific theory about evolution and published a book in 1859 called ‘On the Origin of Species’. Although, back then, with religion being a prime factor in this time, Darwin’s scientific breakthrough was not largely liked.

I mean, we all came from somewhere. Right?

Here, we have the 'Human Timeline'. At the top, is where we are now, and at the bottom you'll see 'Nakalipithecus' which is where we've descended from.

Here, you will see a ‘Life Timeline’ . Where, as you can tell, is the evolution of the world around us. How it all began.

Both scale show, where we are now and what was here before us.

The scary part  is that who knows where we’re going to end up in that timeline. Who knows what will descend from us.
