Page 302“If numerous species, belonging to the same genera, or families, have really started into life all at once, the fact would be fatal to the theory of descent with slow modification through natural selection.”.
Now that there are no determinate criteria as to what is the minimum information for survival, it is necessary for our species to survive that various ways of abstraction should be tested by natural selection.
In other words, not only is the feeling that we are“consciously” in control of our behavior an illusion(as is suggested by other neurological experiments as well); it is a purposeful illusion, designed by natural selection to lend conviction to our claims.
We are surrounded by endless forms, most beautiful and most wonderful, and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random natural selection-- the only game in town, the greatest show on earth.".
Haplogroup D" is thought to be present in about 70% of modern people, appears in Homo sapiens about 37,000 years ago, and it is thought that it rapidly spread as human genes by natural selection.
We survived the African savannas, despite being weaker and slower than our predators and most of our prey, by an amazing ability to engage in mutual aid, and that urge to cooperate has been hardwired into our minds through natural selection.
Public opinion polls consistently show that significant proportions of the American people don't believe the climate is warming due to human activities, don't think that there is evolution by natural selection, and aren't persuaded by the safety of vaccines.
And do you think that humans and other living things have evolved due to natural selection, or do you think that a supreme being guided the evolution of living things for the purpose of creating humans and other life in the form it exists today?".
Although the so-called“moral Issues” were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence.
No matter how suddenly the punctuation{391} occurred that jogged our ancestors abruptly to the right in Design Space, it was still a gradual design development under the pressure of natural selection- unless it was indeed a miracle or a hopeful monster.
It cannot be stressed enough that evolution by natural selection is analogous to problem solving without any intelligent guidance, without any intelligent input whatsoever. No activity which involves an intelligent input can possibly be analogous to evolution by natural selection.16.
Although he wrote that societies over time progressed- and that progress was accomplished through competition- he stressed that the individual rather than the collectivity is the unit of analysis that evolves; that, in other words, evolution takes place through natural selection and that it affects social as well as biological phenomenon.
If Kropotkin drew inappropriate hope for social reform from his concept of nature, other Darwinians had erred just as firmly(and for motives that most of us would now decry) in justifying imperial conquest, racism, and oppression of industrial workers as the harsh outcome of natural selection in the competitive mode.
And with this famous entry in his notebook, he begins in the top left-hand corner with,"I think," and then sketches out the first tree of life, which is his perception of how all the species, all living things on Earth are connected through evolutionary history-- the origin of species through natural selection and divergence from an ancestral population.
So the argument I'm making here is that in order to give credit to the all powerful, at least to my mind, a system that comes from very simple and elegant basic ideas like natural selection and variations, that in our DNA, we call those mutations, in the laws of physics and chemistry, and those, from that simple and elegant basic ideas, for complexity to emerge.
Yet that there is arrangement in the universe, an that this postulates the agency of a principle other than matter, is continually more and more forced upon us by the utter failure of natural selection to meet the demands made on it during the last half of the past century to accomplish by the blind, fortuitous action of physical agents work demanding the highest intelligence.
