A Theory of Evolution
|
|
I was just about to start this blog when an epiphany hit me ... Blog is a contraction for Web Log...and here I am NOT using it as a log...therefore, beginning tomorrow, I will start logging the events of my so called life so that you all may be as bored as I am WOE IS YOU
Over the last few years, a theory on evolution has been developing in the vacant townhouses of my mind. While I will not propose that this is original as I'm quite sure others have done professional research and true scientific hypothesizing on this matter. I can truly say that I have never read or heard such previously. So please, bare with me, as I am not a scientist, not an intellectual, and not under the influence of alcohol or mind altering drugs...at the moment.
Quite simply my theory is that the human species will eventually evolve into a single sex. I also feel that if we were to time travel x years into the future...we...would recognize this future single sex species as female.
Yes, women will rule the world of the future. There are many emotional and psychological reasons I have for this theory, most of which confirm my belief that the female is truly the superior sex. But besides my love of women, my respect, and my admiration of women, there are biological and social Darwinist signs today, that could well signal the beginning of this evolutionary step.
Biological Darwinism
Hermaphrodism. Being born with both sexual reproductive organs is not only possible, but is actually increasing in the human species. So much so, that what may have once been a biological foundation, is now deteriorating to a debate of semantics. Eric Vilain MD PHD and alphabet soup genetics from UCLA says that, "Recent advances in the genetics of sexual development have shown the extreme complexity of defining males and females from a biological standpoint. There is no one biological parameter that clearly defines sex."
I'm not intending to write a paper here, so I'll cease with the quotes and references and continue with my thoughts only. I included that only because I was actually surprised that there was information of this sort out there and thus confirming this theory may not be as extreme as I thought, and thus not as original either. So biological changes are happening in the human species and we all know we would not be the first or only species to be unisex. I believe dinosaurs were (maybe a bad example since they're extinct) and some reptiles are? So, biologically, there appear to be signs of evolution.
Social Darwinism
Society dictates much of evolution. While Darwin instructs of the virtues of evolution ensuring the survival of the species by developing genetic mutations over time that not only survive but also improve the species; simultaneously, society constricts and emphasizes certain characteristics, physical and behaviorally, which are inbred into the future offspring.
I'm sure you've noticed that a great rift is forming in this country; the divide between tradition and evolution. Our understanding of sexual orientation is changing and we are slow to accept this mutation. In fact, this great degree and divisiveness only seems to signal the evolutionary finality and inevitability that is occurring. Homosexuality, especially in the female species has become so much more acceptable in today's society, it is almost becoming revered. (And I'm not talking about the girl/girl movies)
With biological changes, societal changes must follow, if not precede, in order to ensure acceptance and availability and continuance. Are the societal changes happening as we speak the infancy, or even the conception of a biological change of the future? Are the now "freak" biological changes that occur in some humans actually the prototypes for a new species of the future?
Evolution is usually defined as an improvement; growth in a species. Try to imagine a world without sexism? Only in the last thity years have Americans accepted women in traditional male roles and of course in other countries, women are still second-class citizens if not chattel. How much more tolerant would a world be if we were all the same sex? In fact, if sex, as a categorization were eliminated altogether? No more sex discrimination. Perhaps it would be easier to eliminate age and race discrimination soon after...perhaps.
Any thoughts?
