Phaelen Predicament
Ok, I can see how when the earleist human life forms were around that evolution was prosperous. I mean monkeys to caveman, Darwinism has been easily integrated into most school biology classes. In the present, however I have a slight problem believing that humans today are actually evolving themselves. I think we have become lazy. I think we are letting technology become our outward form of being and mind, and it has nothing to do with our natural human construction. Robot vacumes, Genius playlists on iPods, and various inventions have acredited to much of our knowledge and easy-going life today. Come on, our cars can parallel park for us now and you can even watch TV in them! This concept leads my mind to beleive that we have actually slowed down evolution by creating so many technological items that do anything and everything for us.

Hannah I completely agree. I too think that all that we have down in recent years, in the light of technology and medicine, that we no longer have room for evolution. Out minds seem to be evolving at both an alarmingly fast and slow rate. Fast because our we are able t create technology that are getting increasingly smarter everyday, yet all fo this technology impedes our ability to do things on our own. Ultimately it will slow down our minds more than it will help us in the long run.
