This post deals with the idea of humans as custodians of the earth.
Seems to me that we’re doing a pretty bad job of it. Seems like with climate change, not only are killing off species “a todo que da”, but we may create the conditions that may lead to our own destruction.
Meanwhile people are either ignorant of this, denying this, hopeless about this or trying to do something about this.
From where I sit, we are pretty lousy custodians of the earth. Who appointed us anyway?
OK, for the first part of this series, I would have to ask my friends….
Do you think evolution is a fact of nature?
Do you think humans evolved?
Do you think humans are evolving?
Do you think that evolution is natural?
IF your answer to all these questions is yes, then it should surprise you that the humans of the future will not be the same as the humans of today. To incorrectly anthropomorphize, one might even say that this is what nature intended.
Just as we supplanted the Neanderthals, Denosovians, Hobbits and the mysterious others, so shall some further evolved homo species supplant us. Thus is the order of things.
Anybody have a problem with this?
