Life on Earth: Evolution of Life, Intelligence, Human and Future Evolution
At birth, the earth was a
hellish planet, incapable of supporting any life form whatsoever. From that
condition, how did life on Earth not only flourish but also survive at least
six mass extinctions, losing 60 to 90 percent of the life form of those particular
periods? In this section, we will discuss this evolutionary history of life on
Earth. We will also touch on the future evolutionary path that the currently
living species of the world may go through. It is very much likely that the
evolution of life (even the human) is still at work, as we pass our days in the
twenty-first century. The remarkable advancement of this century will be the
emergence of artificial intelligence and life-form development by humans
themselves. Are the Homo Sapiens becoming the Homo Deus?
