Evolution: Through an Engineer's eye



Something had lately made my faith more concrete into believing that contrary to Darwin’s theory, there have been some major flaws in the course of human evolution. I am beginning to assume that the human intelligence clearly didn’t evolved as most of us would have expected it to be. I am falling into considering the fact that during this era of our evolution at some instance the rational and logical ability along with the basic intelligence was assembled only among a particular set of humans.
And so is the development of our DNA blended with the bilateral human characteristics. And so has it continued this far. So at one side, you have a particular exclusive set, displaying higher intelligence, compromising of all scientific class and art prodigy, the other side is disruptively inhabited by those belonging to lower brains. Daft religious fundamentalists, the hungry capitalists, the ruthless oppressors of expressions combined with those who pretend and attempt to cross into the other class through their coercing influences and abusing the power of their authority.
Darwin formulated a scientific argument for the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. He saw evolution as a change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. While I agree to this theory, that evolution gives rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation and better adaptability, it is more evident considering the variety and levels of daftness and idiosyncrasy exhibited by the lower intellect. I forfeit to believe that the non adaptive cause of evolution including the mutation and genetic drift is through natural selection. Intelligence cannot be regarded as mutation or a result of some frequency change in a gene variant but seems to a blessing or a permanent trait injected in the particular group of individuals, undoubtedly through the aid of some celestial and extra-terrestrial life form. Maybe at some point during the course of human evolution, our human DNA was interfered with or modified and fused with an alien genome in order to create a much superior species that stands different from the natural evolution. There could be two viable possibilities: either the intelligence DNA is a misfit result of the cosmic interference or is it possible that this particular higher race is indeed, in whole was an alien race in itself in the beginning. Whatever may be the explanations, it clearly seems to be conflicting with Darwin’s assumptions that that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors.
Considering the above notions, an ethical question arises regarding this alien intrusion in our development. The possibilities may be endless and the core motive behind this timeless manifestation might still be unknown to the upcoming generations but one thing is quite apparent that this infringement had created a massive rift between two distinct dominant species of this planet and a common perception born out of these qualms. The idea of God and Devil, good and bad, divine worshipping and satanic adoration, spiritual understanding and orthodox practises.
May be we are just a part of some grand reality show or just a puppet in the hands of our master. May be we are part of some celestial social experiment which explains we are nothing more than just a lab-rat. Our purpose is unknown. The answers are still lingering in dark. For now we can only assume that we have been given the ability to determine our own purpose. Our own objectives that lead us to sustain and thrive be it to work together as a community or at the cost of the life of other.
But what is more clearly visible and settled is but a basic impulse towards everything else that surrounds us. Humour and Sarcasm are without any doubt divine superpowers bestowed to only few of us and not just mutation and genetic drift outcomes. Eh ??

P.s: My thoughts about evolution theory are just based upon rough assumptions, the rational explanation of folks I came across during my academic years and my middling knowledge of biology from my initial years at high school. I am just a common engineering student, clearly having no idea about biology and anthropology. I had no valid intention to disrespect the great English naturalist and geologist Charles Robert Darwin but was just trying to reason with and put my own opinions and thoughts. If in course of this writing, I had hurt someone’s feeling intentionally or unintentionally I deeply apologise to them. All though, the former may be subjected to terms and conditions. i just wish Darwin could have made a clear distinction between freethinkers like him and those conservative and violent crusaders of civilisation.
