In order to understand evolution of human, scientists has been studying about Genome, studying about Gene- DNA, for a long time, and compare with others mammal.
In 2000, scientists found out that genetic code of human body that relates to ancestors’ evolution which extraordinary insight. This study shows that human and a few animals such as chimpanzee, dog and mouse have the same code of genome.
Personally, genome is a good way to study about how species in the world connected together because scientist use genetic code comparison to decode the history of life. Genome can be use to classify the order of creatures by development. Genome can be used to study about the creatures that died thousands year god, too
In sum, now scientists are studying in gene to decode the mystery of life. Therefore, genome is very useful to study and understand the creature.

I'm also interested in research in this area, and some of the results that have been found out the last few years, like the ones Aim mentions, are amazing. For example, genetic analysis is now being used to track the historical course of human migrations over thousands of years so that we can get a much better idea of where a people's ancestors came from and which other groups mixed their genes with them.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting and I got one theory to share related to gnome. The evolution of human is not evolving by nature selecting theory of Charles Darwin, but the result of intentionally manipulating in genetic engineering on Homo sapiens by extra terrestrial (ET).
ReplyDeleteResearchers say that long time ago the world has 2 dominant species, Homo sapiens and Homo erectus. While the days pass Homo sapiens become much better at survival and dominate Homo erectus. Homo sapiens tribes were live like cavemen for many thousand years without any development in their civilization. Our ancestors don’t have an alphabet and they don’t even know how to build a house. All tools they have are rocks and woods. The question is why we human are able to acquire many technologies in a very short time compare to our ancestors. This like a blink of the eyes, it must be something missing. Something happened in the past which make us superiors. In our past 100 years we can landed on the moon while our predecessor can’t do it for ten thousand years. Why we are very much smarter than our ancestor, the answer is our brains are manipulated by someone.
Pong,
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting theory. How strong, how reliable, is the evidence for it? It reminds me of pre-Darwinian theories that explained human existence, and existence of everything else, as the results of gods, but the god theories do not seem very strong because there is no evidence that any god ever existed.
Even 2,000 years ago, the idea of natural evolution existed. The Roman philosopher and poet Lucretius describes something very like it in his De Rerum Natura, and the great enlightenment philosopher David Hume, one of my favourites, came close, but realised he lacked solid evidence. It was not until Darwin published his On the Origin of Species in 1859 that we had a strong theory backed up with a lot of solid evidence. I'm not sure that we need to postulate unknown beings interfering to explain the form of modern man, which has now been around for thousands of years. Of course, we now have the technology to directly interfere in and change our genetic make up, but can anything else anywhere in the universe do what human beings can now do?
