Do you think the world would be a better place if we hadn't evolved?

Question

Do you think the world would be a better place if we hadn't evolved? I mean there wouldn't be cars to polute and no over population, also not as many extinct animals or trees cut down for paper.... what do you think?

Answer 1

Define better place...
If you are looking at the interests of humanity... then no it wouldnt be a better place.
If you are looking at the interests of the mind... then yes it would.
If you are looking at purely environmental like people just another form of animal too... then no it wouldnt be a better place.

The hardest thing about life is defining this whole concept of better... it is often not our own... and more of a compilation of the happiness of those around us.

goodluck,

Answer 2

I honestly think it is too soon to tell. We, however, should know within the next 15 years. The reasoning for this is humanity, which is the belief that all human beings regardless of race or gender deserve to have a decent life is very young.

If you look at civil rights, woman's rights and even the abolishment of slavery throughout the world it has all occurred less than 40 years ago. With Globalization on the horizon, we will know better in a few years whether man is willing to recognize each other as brethren or if we will seek complete domination. This will determine the true effect of our creativity. We are just getting the amount of technology to make the world a wonderful existence for all humanity, whether we choose to do that or not will be determined in the next 20 years.

Answer 3

They've been working on that for years in the UK - The House Of Commons is a prime example sponsored by London Zoo, and a few Russian Communist Ogliarchs, (typo possibly but so wot). In a country led by 4 wise monkeys, you can bet which one actually runs the damned place. Edit - I just noticed you're a Scot.. It must be a wonderful place now that the two twats have come back down south.

Answer 4

Clearly, the environment was never so threatened by any other species, even early human species, as it is threatened by us now. As a species, we have fulfilled our biological imperatives to a. exploit our environment and to b. reproduce to such an extent that we are the cause of a period of mass extinction such as the world only experienced a few times in the past due to asteroid collisions with the earth. The environment is in a crisis from which it may take millenia to recover. We may not live long enough to see the worst of this catastrophe, but our grandchildren and their children will pay dearly for our foolishness.

Answer 5

Hi, let me tell you two things. 1- people didn't evolve. 2- The world was created for the people. So if there were no people then there would be no world. Its better to have problems then not to live. Example: better to have legs and walk up the steps then be in a wheel chair where someone else carries you up the steps.

Answer 6

This is an impossible proposition to answer because we didn't evolve.
Overpopulation is a dynamic of what goes on in nature. There are peaks and valleys in any naturally occuing population.
As the environment changes, there will be things showing up where some species are unable to cointinue. These hallmarks may be more noticeable with man in the mix.

Answer 7

Humans have to evolve. That is only a natural event. Certainly, there will always be results as a result of our living on this planet. We are here to learn something about it and to share it with others.

Answer 8

Do you think the world would be a better place if we hadn't
evolved?

Maybe...I know it would be for most animals and nature it's self!!!

Answer 9

First, there will be no one to ask and answer this question. I think the human animal would have been always in fear and the
' might is right' would have ruled the world.

Answer 10

Would anything be here without evolution, LIKE YOU. And no, I don't think evolution just applies to "life forms" because, it seems to me that rain from a cloud is a kind of evolution, or the earth's crust cooling over millions of years is a kind of evolution. Without evolution, existence wouldn't be existence or the existence we know, so, there is no possible way to answer your question.
