Blog 55: Amazing thing in nature

The phenomenon I find most interesting in nature is evolution. For some reason I find it amazing and maybe a little comforting to know that things will always change however slowly. Its almost like I find this to be a kind of promise for the future. It also means things never get boring because they keep on changing. Evolution is one of the slowest natural processes in existence. The wonderful thing about it is that despite its snail’s pace change it has some real impacts on our world. These changes build up rather slowly and in insignificant levels but eventually lead to phenomenal differences; like the one between a human and chimpanzee.

In this way whole societies and planet changes over time. The better part is that these changes aren’t just purely physical but more emotional and intellectual. Take the human race. We have existed for a million years and in that time we have evolved from crude primeval creatures to a sophisticated society able to effect lasting changes on our planet. Change is also heavily dependent on challenges. The bigger the challenge facing us the more impressive is the change necessitated from us.

So as the world faces the incredible challenges of global warming and global integration we find the next need for social evolution. Amazingly these new series of evolutions don’t seem to be driving us apart. Instead it seems to bring us together as people. The natural aspect of evolution seems to have gathered a very lasting aspect on our life.
