Humans have been evolving since the beginning of time and will continue to evolve as long as we exist. This has happened in a multitude of ways including biological, behavioral, environmental and cultural evolution. An example we can look at first is how advanced we have become technologically in recent years. We can look at automation as an example of this. Humans have evolved so much and become so technologically advanced that many jobs no longer even require humans anymore. Artificial Intelligence has taken over cashier jobs, factory jobs, and nowadays even modeling jobs. I just read an article today about a new AI model that is making her way into the fashion industry. She has modeled for brands such as Ugg and Prada and has even featured in campaigns with other supermodels. It is clear to see that our technological evolution has taken us much farther than our ancestors may have ever believed. We have also unfortunately evolved our environment into one that will not be sustainable for many more years to come. Climate change has been a big issue and many people and politicians are trying to find a way to reverse some of the havoc we have wreaked on the planet with our fossil fuels, chemical emissions, pollution and more. So clearly, not all evolution leads to something better. We need to make a change and we must do it quickly if we ever want there to be a home for future generations of humans. Our way of making food and farming has also evolved in a sort of negative manner. We now use pesticides and growth hormones to make the food that looks appealing to the market in the highest quantities that we can. We are also evolving in the way that we create human life. In the past, the only way to conceive a child was through having sex, but nowadays there is IVF, surrogacy and much more. All of this sort of leads back to the evolution of our technology as none of these things would be possible without the modern technology we have now. It has led to humans losing jobs, species dying out due to deforestation and losing their environment, food that is worse for us being mass-produced, and new innovative ways of becoming pregnant. New medicine has also been introduced to us to try to lengthen our lifespans as much as possible. With the introduction of vaccines and modern medicine, we can fight off many more diseases than we ever thought we could before. The combination of all of these factors will continue to lead humans forward and keep them above all other species. If we take care of our environment and our planet then it surely will continue to sustain us and all of our new discoveries, technological and otherwise. Humans will never stop evolving and we can only continue to learn more and try to leave the world a better place than we left it in. Evolution is important and will continue to be.
