Needless to say, evolution did not keep pace with the development of the human brain. It gave them a killing tool – the brain, but forgot, or maybe it didn’t have the time to evolve the moral backbone. 100,000 years ago, man, the “Homo sapiens” race, became the greatest predator and made his species famous for its brutality. But it’s not over yet. Even 10,000 BC, it was still not known to possess and cling to self. And just 12,000 years ago there was an agrarian revolution. People started farming wheat. Before that, they gathered and hunted. And they started to keep an eye on them. Possession, the greatest doom of mankind, has begun. This is followed by desire and pride.
Indeed, I am impressed with Yuval Noah Harari’s book “Sapiens, A Brief History of Humanity”. This is in line with my views. Maybe not really 😉
I thought about humanity quite positively because it is designed to think like this about self. Who doesn’t think about themselves positively and in warm colors? And here it turns out that, neither I, nor humankind are as beautiful as we think. The truly superior lion-like predators that have evolved to be at the top of hierarchy in millions of years are prepared for this with character. Humans were given leadership 100,000 years ago. Leadership was entrusted to the intermediate species. We were then in the hierarchy behind the hyenas. We were not prepared to be at the top. The nature of people, which ranks worse than hyenas: lies, deceptions, fraundances, etc. This is our nature. 100,000 years ago, when the lion was hunting its prey and was satisfied, the hyenas ate the bones, we humans came into play just before the worms.
Our twisted and destructive nature comes to light. The question is, can anything good be derived from this nature? Will we manage to go beyond these primitives? Evolution – how it relies on primitive premises to survive. Simple, if you win, you will go on. If not, you are going into sand.
I want to scream a little 🙁 So what’s in this thinking? Is man a mistake of evolution? Hasn’t nature fallen into its snares, into the snares of evolution? Aren’t the last 100,000 years wasted?
Of course, there are also beautiful things made by human hands. Wonderful people who stand out from the masses: Newton, Copernicus, Einstein, etc. But is it worth keeping all mankind with its terrible side effects for a few individuals? Maybe. What is really important is that it is not the majority that gives humanity “flavor” / uniqueness, but the individuals that set it apart. Would these people be so special if they did not see the mistakes of these masses of people? In contrast. You can’t be unique with only “Einsteins” 😉 Then you don’t want to try.
Do these special people live on our backs or do we live on them? I leave without an answer …
