Advanced Civilization's Effects on Human Species

First few diagrams to support the oncoming discussion;



(source: Wikipedia)


Although I think with one look to the diagrams, any rational human being can comprehend the problem immediately, I wish to spare a few words on this certain matter;

• We're overpopulating. (Like rabbits)
  

• We're keeping people alive. (Like zombies)

Not only medical advancement, but advancements in general is the cause of that. The natural habitat surrrounding us are now buildings, pavements, roads etc. We have some patches of green stuff (trees and grass), in major cities to create the illusion of "It's not all grey! There are some green stuff too!" but then again, majority are not the latter but the former.

We have evolved from scavenger societies to hunter-gatherer societies, after that we evolved a bit more, and after that we started to make tools the era I call 'Crazy Shit' took start. (Which is still present, going to outer space? to moon? bionic arms? Who'd have thought?)

With the Crazy Shit era, we started to isolate ourselves from the nature. With that I think we somehow altered the natural selection. How ;

• No more predators to consume us.
• No more basic diseases to die from. (2000 B.C people died from a basic flu. Now we don't. That's why they1 came up with the idea of AIDS and Cancer.)
• Increase in average human life span. (From 33 to 82 (33 is still the average somewhere in Africa))
• Even a critical disease finds you, they still put you in a hospital and make you suffer or live a little longer.
• No more need to hunt, it's all an automated sequence.
• No more need for basic survival. (it's replaced with economical survival though)

So basically and in short, there's nothing to kill us. And not only that, death from natural causes are obstructed too. And we're still reproducing like there is no tommorow, regardless those facts. Don't get me wrong, reproduction is one of the major reasons to exist, when thought primitively.

That concludes the interpretation part I guess, now for the criticizing of the topic;

Andropause and menapause. Defined basically as 'the shutting down of reproduction systems', accompanied with a collapse of psychology. Reasons are obvious, you shouldn't have lived that long in the first place, you have evolved to stay alive under various conditions, conditions that are not present now. You should've been dead by that age. But you're not, why?

Because with the beginning of the Crazy Shit era, human species advanced so fast (not biologically but technologically), they altered natural selection and the system of evolution couldn't keep up with the pace.

Therefore; the concept of "WORLD IS COMING TO AN END" is non-sense, the planet itself can (take care of itself) regenerate via freezing and un-freezing every once in a while. 3 major ice-ages are recorded in the history of earth, all of them occured after a global warmth. So in exchange of that super-speed advancement, our planet is going to freeze our asses.2





1: Some force against us.
2: Super-Speed advancement and still no colonies on other planets to save our ass when the planet freezes. I guess we weren't so fast afterall.
