Our bodies truly are amazing tools. So amazing, in fact, that I don’t think the vast majority of us ever appreciate the marvel of natural evolution that we represent.
I mean, if you stop to think about it, we’ve evolved from beings not dissimilar to modern day chimpanzees, to walking, talking creatures capable of constructing complex societies and sending things to other planets, all in the blink of an eye (at least when the age of the universe is taken into account).
Yet one of the most interesting concepts related to our evolution as a species is how we’re virtually the same as we were, say, twenty-thousand years ago… though we now live in a world that could not be any more different to the one our ancestors once roamed.
More interesting still is the fact that we’re continuing to evolve, though the process happens so slowly, over the course of so many generations, that we rarely see evidence of it occurring at all.
