Origins of Humans
- 6 years ago
G. K. Chesterton has put it in his words "Man is not merely an evolution, rather it is a revolution". The comment presented by Chesterton has captured the unease of several people as they felt about the explanation of Charles Darwin about the origin of humans right from the starting. Alfred Russel Wallace who was the co-founder with Charles Darwin in the theory of evolution also rejected the fully Darwinian explanation of the human beings. He preferred the intelligent form of design to be a better alternative.
Charles Darwin proposed for the first time about the unguided evolution almost more than a century and a half ago. Since then, several doubts have been expressed by various other scientists, public intellectuals, and philosophers.
However, in the recent times, the general public has been reportedly told that the case put forth by Charles Darwin towards the origin of humans is beyond dispute. There is not even the passage of a month in the observation of the new fossil fragment along with the study of science as an incontestable future proof about the evidence of human evolution. However, the question that comes in the minds of several individuals out there is "is the evidence provided by the Darwinian theory of human origin really that persuasive?".
Here, the able scientists would tackle the question. All the three of them think that the theory presented by Charles Darwin in quite inadequate on account of the origin of human beings along with the human uniqueness. Before advancing to the theories put forth by them, it is important to analyze the facts about the Darwinian evolution of human beings. Evolution of the human beings is a flexible term that can have several meanings. The meaning of the same tends to change over time. This passage of time is based on the undirected historical process of the "survival of the fittest" that would lead from one-celled organisms to a human.
The modern Darwinian theory is also referred to as the "Darwinism". This theory has two major planks: a natural selection that would act upon an unplanned generic variation and the common descent of the same.
