If evolution is driven primarily by need, does it stand to reason the life form percieved it before changing?

Answer 1

You probably asked this question in regards to the intelligences of animals but your question has a logical fallacy: you are "begging the question".

In the theory of Evolution, an animal has no effect on change or has any choice in the biological change. It is believed that an animals offspring has a genetic mutation, that makes them better suited to their environment, and the new genetics make the animal more superior to the others in the animals in the same Genus and sometime leads to the evolution of a new species. The process is random and has nothing to do with need.

People perceive that the process is driven by the need of the animal because we observe the aftermath of a successful change and it seems almost impossible to see the randomness in the process.

FOR EXAMPLE: It is impossible for people to affect their own genetics. I and my wife are 5'2", I know that it would be easier for my children to operate in this world if they were 6 ft tall. It would be easier to find a mate and reach things off the top shelf, but most likely our children will be short. Even though I want tall kids.

Answer 2

i imagine this is conceivable that creatures evolve to some volume. I advise, 100 years in the past, mankind turned right into a lot shorter than we are now. this is complicated to assert precisely which issues contained in the Bible are parables, and that are to be taken actually each and every now and then. i imagine that the memories there have been simplified, to get us to the point, or moral of the tale. form of "like the prefer to draw close" documents. i believe that people were and are created in God's likeness although, and that THAT become no longer an coincidence of evolution.

Answer 3

The life form perception would have been more like an unfavourable deficiency rather than a need requiring solution through evolution.

Answer 4

Evolution is not driven by need. It's not "driven" by anything, really; it's just that
1) organisms vary, in heritable ways;
2) more of those with certain variations will survive than those with others; and
3) the survivors pass down those variations to their offspring.

That's all it comes down to, when you look at it. There's no need or perception involved.

Answer 5

Evolution is continuous and it is interactive with the prevailing environment and hence it appears to be a biological need. Perhaps this "need" is instinctive and survival depends upon successful adaptation to the changing environment.This is only my hunch.

Answer 6

Maybe on some biologically driven level. But more than likely not consciously.

Answer 7

I would think evolution does. I actually think that It has to in order to know how to change.

Answer 8

Sure
