Why is the theory of evolution so important in understanding how human beings behave?
Evolutionary biology explains why humans beings change throughout generations, both physically and mentally. The theory of evolution is the main reason for change. Human traits and genes change due to their environment, survival and diversity. Charles Darwin stated that, "In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment". Humans have become modernized and adapted well to our environment. Evolutionary psychology is the same theory to explain how psychological traits evolve and adapt through time. Humans all have many different traits and genes that develop like their intelligence, physical traits, body structure etc.
Which questions do you think evolutionary theory cannot answer?
Some questions I don't think evolutionary are ones like; what came first, time, space, matter, or energy? Where did life come from if it cannot appear spontaneously? Which were the first elements to be formed? How did the stars come? Where was the material that formed the universe if there was nothing prior to it? How was the universe started? These are all questions that I don't believe can be answered a lot of which are because of religious reasoning and otherwise the uncertainty of it all between science and religion.
