Is it dangerous that humans aren't adapting to the environment?

Question

All of us are staying alive with all these miracle medicines and none of us are adapting. Could this be dangerous?

Answer 1

Over population is dangerous, our world can only support so many of us, and with life expectancy rising and infant mortality dropping we are reaching that critical point faster than most people feel comfortable acknowledging.

As for adapting to our environment, human beings have spent so long fighting against our environment, looking for ways to beat it or work around it, that we have lost the instinctual knowledge as to how to deal with our natural world appropriately. It will take just as long for us to learn to work with the world around us again as it did for us to learn how to work against it, I just hope we have that much time.

Answer 2

Not everyone uses medicines and the each new generation those children will get the dominate genes of those that are the healthiest of the species. It is called survival of the fittest, where those that do survive a certain environmental change will past those genes down to their children. There is scientific proof of this throughout the centuries in history books and in science books.

So we are adapting as a species if we weren't we would be extinct.

Answer 3

Besides the miracle medicines, etc., I think it is dangerous that so many people live where they cannot interact with nature at all. We need nature to survive, but too many people have never even walked in a woods or forest and seen the wildlife that lives there.

We are losing touch with the world we still depend on to survive and don't even know it.

Answer 4

Isnt it more amazing that we are actually adpating AWAY from the environment? We beat diseases artificially, rather than dying or living wiht the consequences of the disease? We have overcome the environmental challenges of oceans impeding travel, and weather making places impossible to live (except perhaps, in the desert). Yes, it can be dangerous- there are a lot of unknown unknowns out there when you no longer follow the natural path- but hopefully we can be smart enough to fix things before they get too bad if we do make a big mistake.

Answer 5

We are adapting by creating miracle medicines to protect us from environmental dangers... So, no worries...

Answer 6

Humans were never created to adapt. Except for height due largerly better living an acienct Egyption looked and felt just like you do now. In fact science has yet to find a species of human that adapted in to what we are today or what we were 50,000 years ago. No missing link = no evolution

Answer 7

people have been on no account meant to stay in unity with the ambience any further than hearth replaced into ever meant to no longer burn wood. people are the end results of poorly-stronger Apes that have been given fed up in being the butt Monkeys in Nature's game of Kick the Australopithecus, and that they stronger the way they did with the purpose to get revenge against mom Nature by technique of destroying it.

Answer 8

I don't think so.. As long as advances in technology keep up with evolution of the world; we'll be fine.
