I don’t know what have been discussed yet and what not. I don’t buy this evolution concept before but after having few discussions with some friends, I realized that

• The concept of evolution that WE understand is totally different from what it meant to be.

Evolution doesn’t mean that “humans” ancestors were APPS .. that would be extreme.

There is a concept which is called “survival of the fittest”. In which every species, try to mould itself to live in the climate they are .. .. the living example is that when we are living in hot an humid country for 10-15 years, we are okay to bear a hot weather of 45C but when we move to some place which is not that hot, after 10-15 years 45C isn’t acceptable for us. Reason our body has evoloved and accepted “new weather”
.

Let me try to better word your thoughts about “Survival of the fittest” notion by sharing these quotes:

• They are in you and me; they created us, body and mind; and their preservation is the ultimate rationale of our existence. They have come a long way, those replicators. Now they go by the name of genes, and we are their survival machines.

• We are the survival machines - robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecule known as genes. The genes are master programmers, and they are programming for their lives..

• The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins

• Each generation is a filter, a sieve; good genes tend to fall through the sieve in to the next generation; bad genes tend to end up in bodies that die young or without reproducing.

• The river of my title is a river of DNA, and it flows through time, not in space. It’s a river of information, not a river of bones and tissues..

River of Eden, Richard Dawkins

If you understand the concept of DNA/selfish genes.. being a parasite residing in our bodies made of tissues and bones, fighting/programming for their survival.. altering the vehicles they design to reside according to the changing survival needs.. we are just carriers of these genes from our ancestors to our offspring.. and this is what evolutionary biology all about..!!!
