"Homo-sapiens" is what we call ourselves, the scentific name for man.Almost everyone of us know that the ascent of man is not just a story but a saga of million years as man descended from apes, monkeys et al. The process initiated when some ape-like structures ventured to support their weight on hind-legs i.e. walking , then followed the search for food and then tools when they wanted to cut short their labour.Then came stones, then fire and awe.This was the steady race of this homonid to stand away from the rest.And thus was formed this social, intelligent, two-legged creature called human.With time it improved anatomically , and ofcourse mentally. The cerebrum and its grey improved by leaps. It was no more the one of animal, rather one of social. This gave birth to a social being.A human being!!!
At one point from then, this man stood as tall as you and me today. But evolution is the call of Nature. If Darwin's Theory had created man from monkey, then how could it stop at man. It ought to evolve and yes it did and how. The human which once ate raw meat evolved to invent microwave. The monkey-man which struggled to make fire by rubbing stones evolved to make atom bombs.Evolution didnot stop, as now came this period of Intellectual Evolution. Man , unique owners of brains in the myriad animal world , could not leave this opportunity of giving birth to a gigantic Scientific Revolution .This saw the tremendous discoveries and inventions followed by man's ,almost, invasion of Universe.
Now this Man was the reigning tyrant and shrewd dictator of not only the world but the entire Universe.But evolution never stopped.Where does it go from now on.Alls made and done.When was this Theory of Evolution coming to an end?Not now of course.This theory, by virtue of its postulates , claims to be ceaseless.And so did Humanity.It saw the birth of philosophers, thinkers,ethic-makers and so on.This, the period of Moral Evolution. The unity as species that helped man evolve, was now discrete.
The species which made a man out of ape, was now divided.It started to rule each other. One subjugated the other. There were boundaries between them . Each one fought for his own. The mission "Ascent of Man" was accomplished but where was the Man? Was it really a man.Wasnt it better as an ape? Today we fight for food , shelter and throne not with some other species but with our own because we evolved. I leave this question unanswered....Where is the Humane Human???
