I had this epiphany awhile ago and I dont think I'll ever lose it. After thinking hard enough about evolution and the world I came up with this conclusion. The purpose of any species is to prolong their existance for aslong as possible, while evolution constantly occurs and the most adapt animals live and exist for the longest. Much is the same case with Humans.
We certainly have had no problem "existing" through our species. Humans seem to be the end product and total goal of evolution, a creature with self-awareness and abstract thought. Because humans possess these things, their minds themselves are able to evolve, learn, solve etc. As humans mental capacity has greatly increased, we have found it easier and easier to live.
Evolution still remains a test, and as we are the most extreme success of evolution, we are to face the ultimate test. Can humans outlive the existance of our very own planet? When this world becomes uninhabitable will we be smart enough and have evolved mentally enough to be able to leave this planet and inhabit a new one? Furthermore, will Humans be able to exist
forever in this universe? This seems to be the ultimate goal of evolution.
I sure hope we succeed, wouldn't want 5 billion years of evolution to go down the shitter when the earth darkens. Or hey, maybe evolution will get it right next time
But yea, i think we will succeed, space travel seems to be advancing a lot quicker than the earth deteriorating. Go humans!
