The Homo Sapiens:
My earlier article on ‘Human Evolution’Due to the morphological and anatomical similarities between the apes and humans, scientists believed that the great apes were the closest biological relatives of human beings http://timesofindia.speakingtree.in/public/spiritual-slideshow/seekers/science-of-spirituality/human-evolution-243946/60992 dated 11 nov2013 the process of evolution in humans continues even now
It is taking place in a slow pace, thats why we are not able to notice the evolutionary changes. According to Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium’, changes which take place due to evolution are a mathematical necessity. These changes may get interrupted or influenced only by mutations, natural selection, gene flow, or non-random mating.
Humans just like any other species are subject to the forces of Nature and are still evolving physically and biologically too.
Cultivation: Cultivation was a major aspect in evolving mankind. Their social life, physical labour and intellect developed largely. The surplus food produced from agriculture secured a stable life from nomadic life and fight hunger and ill of starvation deaths.
Multi-Ethnic people: Earlier, due to lack of transportation and education the mixing of people their interaction , marriages was very less. Today, the interaction between the isolated populations of the world too has increased. Genetic differences observed in different races would eventually disappear with time, due to the fact of more and more interracial breeding.
Loosing of wisdom teeth: . As compared to our ancestors it is estimated that 35% of the population is loosing wisdom teeth. This is due to the fact modern day humans eat food that are easy to chew. Our jaws have reduced in size and there is no space left for the wisdom teeth.
Brain Shrinkage: The scientist have observed that our brains have shrunk from 1,500 cubic centimeters to 1,350 cubic centimeters in past 5000 years. Different theories interpret changes taking place in the brain in different ways. Some of these theories suggest that the shrinking of the brain has made us dumber. However, there also are theories which state that reduction in the size of brain is making our brain work faster.
Blue Eyes : Earlier, all human beings had brown-colored eyes. It was 10,000 years ago that humans developed a mutation which turned their brown eyes blue. People residing in the regions near the Black Sea are said to have developed these mutations. This is simply a form of evolution. With the advance of Technology man has learnt about our universe, about the laws of Nature. new discovries can take mankind to the other celestial worlds. The human brain is fast evolving making us more highly evolved species on earth.
