Survival of the Sufficient Week 3 Post 4

The short film Survival of the Sufficient presents the idea that evolution is constantly affecting us, and that each and every moment is one in which we are changing.  Everything from the food we eat and the air we breathe, to the people we talk to and the things we do, change our state and make us evolve to fit our predicaments.  In terms of today's world, our environments are changing very quickly, and so we may be evolving quickly too; not necessary physically, but mentally.  People would do well to remember that we never are in a certain state of being, and that with each second we are changing.

 

            I found the postscript amusing though.  Having monkeys banging away at typewriters long enough to create the worlds best literature seems like a half-brained idea.  The only thing they would probably get good at is making the most noise per hit on the typewriter, especially if they were all similar to the chimpanzee that was on the video earlier.  If that premise were true, then if you gave a group of monkeys enough millions of years they would probably accomplish anything.
