RE: Simple Question #2 - What is Life? Why does it exist at all?

in #science7 years ago

Few years back when there was not much technological advancement and children were not that smart. But with more and more exposure to the advancing technology and internet children are becoming more knowledgeable about science and technology.

You may notice that the chapters which were previously taught in class 10 (in 90s), now they are being taught in class 8.

And with the increasing population and advancing automation, jobs are much lesser and competition is increasing rapidly. Now only the most intelligent people are selected in a specific job. And this trend will continue. Less intelligent people will eventually become extinct.

So, the brains of humans must have to be evolved for existence in the future.

Sort:  

What you say is mostly true but you are missing my point. Those who are intellegent are going to get better jobs and a better standard of living, yes. However those who are less intelligent and cant get jobs are still reproducing arguably more than the more intelligent are. They are not dying out due to lack of food, mr & mrs tax payer through the government helps them with that. Darwins theory of evolution requires the strong to survive and the week to die off and not reproduce. In this case for our brains to advance the less intelligent would have to die out and not reproduce, in a modern developed country this is simply not the case.

People are, as a whole, becoming more intelligent generation after generation because of more exposure to technology and development of science. Yes, the process is very slow, but it's still there.
