We all know how life forms changed through the history of Earth. These changes were forced upon us all living organisms, it was not something we chose nor something we condoned.
We(all our living ancestors - bacteria, fish, mammals) had to conform to the changing environment and adapt to the laws of nature with only one goal in mind... to survive. And keep on living. Sad but true. So we did. But doing so, we must have lost a lot of "abilities" - to this very moment only the most adaptable organisms survived - those that conformed. Those that didn't - died out. I think we need to focus on those that did not conform and, for one reason or another, were forced to die out. We all surviving living organisms now share a common hereditary trait - our supreme aim - the desire to survive. It's been passed down to us through genetic material from those of our ancestors that were selected by nature because of their immense desire to adapt and survive.
So here we are now, willing to do anything to survive and while doing so, we keep on living and pass our "successful" survival genes to the next generations. But what about those others that chose or were forced to choose the other path, the path to extinction? Did they see the world the way we see it with our immense desire to survive? Did they like this world as much as we do? Everything in this world is a point of view and I bet a lot of nature diversity is lost in the process of natural selection.
Nature put an end to them through natural selection so only those that valued life extremely high survived to this day. Thus we were shaped to those who we are now, our way of thinking, our perception of the world, our likes and dislikes, our taste, desires are all governed and influenced by the genes of those before us and more or less our thoughts are inline with what natural selection had selected as a path of development.
Natural selection has chosen those who would have all those traits and features that would conform to the fullest extent to its demands and so the selected were gifted with a chance to survive, breed and live. But I am more interested to see the world through the eyes of those that were otherwise minded - did they like what we like - the beautiful nature, the courtship between sexes, the love toward your next of kin, etc or are these feelings we have, just a dark product of natural selection and an explicit example of nature's ways to control us and the world as a whole. Could all of the above proposed questions answer some of the tough questions about how we became humans from a wild animal? What if there was no natural selection and we were a bit more "unbiased"? Would we still like who we are now, the way we live, our planet Earth, what we like and dislike? And would we have a desire for life? Could we blame nature for the fact that it shaped and designed our way of thinking the way it is now?
Now that we are actually devastating nature for our desire to be able to reproduce and survive to the utmost extent possible(over population and using up natural resources that pollute the atmosphere and cause global warming and species extinction and possibly, in the long-term - life destruction)? Could Nature cause this all to itself? Why would Nature commit a suicide and shouldn't we correct where we deem Nature was wrong?
To correct our greed and our super strong desire to survive and breed and pass on our genes to as many heirs as possible and over-populate and dominate over other not-so-lucky species? Shouldn't we shake off our animal way of thinking now that we've come this far in our development?
