Question 1
Human behavior is adapted and varied as we evolved over time to adapt to our environment. Natural selection process helps with eliminating the weaker species and weak genes to create specific traits to help us strive in our given environment. As human beings in a given environment we adapt as such, our physical traits are going to differ from those that are raised and breed in a urban environment than that of a person that grew up in a tribe in the Amazon. Our modification take place of generations but it develops who we are. The same principles hold true for animals, plants and other life forms.
Question 2
There are two main questions that one can argue that the theory of evolution does not answer. The first is that evolution of living organisms can be traced through DNA and similar biological evidence but origination is never answered. Can life really begin from nothing? There are also missing links that one can argue do not totally connect organisms.
The 2nd question was raised and questioned by Alfred Wallace with respect to the development of self-consciousness from unconsciousness. He believed that human beings were a higher form of life that can’t be explained entirely by Natural Selection. Why haven’t there been other living animals evolve like humans have.
