    Humans are not the most successful species in evolution, and many creatures in the wild can kill humans in seconds, but humans are superior in IQ and creativity. Cats are the same, they are powerful in their own environment, but they are also "good for nothing" in other places.

    Modern pet cats can be traced back to the wild cats in the forest or desert thousands of years ago, because the living environment is relatively warm, so modern cats are not very cold-resistant, and they are reluctant to leave if they are scorched close to the electric heater, which causes them to live in the cold area is not very good, and the wild cat flooded area is mostly warm area, such as Australia.

    From the point of view of predation ability, cats and their wild counterparts are indeed very powerful, but the prey is mostly small rodents, insects, lizards, small snakes, small birds and other smaller creatures, encountering relatively large snakes, birds of prey, large rodents, cats are also powerless, and they tend to be alone, the size is already small and lack of teamwork, the probability of success of predation of wild cats is not very high, there are also hungry times, in extreme cases, it will also starve to death, or lead to a large reduction in the survival rate of cubs.

    With so many shortcomings, can you say that cats are the most perfectly evolved creatures outside of humans? Of course not. The survival of organisms has never been inseparable from the support of the environment (human beings have the hope of breaking this law), whether it is cats or other big cats, are from the environment to ingest ready-made organic matter (prey on other animals), so their survival is very affected by environmental changes, lack of food and drink in disaster years, the survival rate of cubs will decrease, the number of cats will decrease, and there will be a short-term increase in the number of good years, but in general, limited by the output of the environment, they can only adapt to the random changes of the environment, lack of the ability to actively change the environment.

    In this regard, human beings are the only existence, and in history, human beings have also migrated because of the fierce competition for survival within the middle group, because the number of new environments has also decreased sharply, but with the development of human intelligence, human beings have more ability to transform nature, can plant and breed, and can change the surface environment of an area to make the environment more conducive to their own survival.

    From the perspective of biological adaptation to the environment, each organism is the most successful species in its own living environment, and unless it encounters a violent mutation in the environment, it can reproduce well and make the population continue to continue. Therefore, the success of evolution is relative, just like the talents in different fields of human beings.

    I don't think so, it's because some of its habits are still very primitive and can't be compared with us humans.

    We have the impression that Australia is a country rich in species, but who would have thought that Australia is a country without cats. Australia's fog cat is Australia.

    The first native cat species, they will have different spots on their bodies, most of the cats in Australia are through humans to reach Australia, Australia, the reason why there are so many species is because the environment here is suitable, the food variety is very large, and there are no natural predators.

    These cats have survived since their arrival in Australia and have become an invasive species.

    This is the first time I have heard of cats being invasive creatures after they became invasive species in Australia. And with a large local breeding in Australia, can these cats evolve into tigers if there is no human intervention in the Australian region? Also as a feline.

    This possibility is still very high.

    The Australian environment is very suitable for cats to grow, there are almost no natural predators here, and without human intervention, cats in Australia have a very high probability of developing into relatively large creatures. When the number of cats begins to increase gradually, and the number reaches a certain level, they may have a scene of food competition, and most of the energy is wasted in the process of transmission.

    In the process of racial competition, some of the larger prey prey are smaller, and they have a survival advantage, so in this case they will become larger and larger. In 1964, biologists proposed the island law, in which many small animals will become larger and larger, and large animals will become smaller and smaller. On a closed island, they will change themselves in order to compete for food.

    If it is analyzed from a genetic point of view, it is impossible to evolve into a tiger, because these are two completely different species, although they belong to the feline family together, but there is still a fundamental difference in the economy, in the process of evolution they have accumulated some favorable genes, as well as a large number of neutral genes, these genes are random, buried by natural selection is not left behind, so their neutral genes are not different, so in the process of evolution, no matter how the cat evolves and how it changes, None of them can be tigers.

    And most importantly, a lot of people are interested in evolution.

    In fact, there is a very serious misconception that any living thing has no direction in the process of evolution. Everything we see now is the result of the adaptation of all living beings to their environment and the accumulation of genes. Therefore, even if these cats live in a relatively good environment, they will not evolve into tigers without human intervention.

    It's impossible, because the evolution of cats is still relatively complete, and future environmental changes may make them have a certain degree of advancement.

    No. Because cats are very small in size and cats are very different from tigers, there is no possibility that they will evolve into tigers in the future.

    There is no possibility that a cat will evolve into a tiger in the future. Because the cat has been domesticated by humans, and can only prey on small animals such as the Yi Nai group, it cannot evolve into a tiger due to a series of reasons such as the lack of the strong nuclear power of Chang Tangerine as support.

    With the passage of time and changes in the environment, any organism will continue to evolve, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, which is now summarized by people according to biological evolution, and the species that are constantly evolving and changing include human beings. Under the premise of the ever-changing environment and the continuous development of technology, we have the ability to create life with our own hands, and there are clothes that can cover the body and protect against the cold, so we do not still have heavy hair like other animals. All of this is due to the fact that we have become upright walking creatures and have our hands free, and if human beings continue to evolve in the future, what kind of form will they eventually evolve into?

    At the end of human evolution, what will we become?

    Although it is only time, we have reached a high level of scientific and technological development, and we have the ability to produce new species through modification and management, but this is limited by ethics and morality, and some people think that in the future, perhaps scientists can change the human population through high-tech genetic modification to give birth to new human species.

    If human evolution really came to this point, then human beings should not be called human beings, but mechanistic beings. Whether it is now or in the future, we can be sure that any human life cannot be separated from high technology, and perhaps in the near future, human beings can be integrated with some high-tech equipment, such as the digital human project proposed by someone once.

    It is to store a person's consciousness in the brain using some high-tech equipment. In the future, within the limits of the law, we can implant human consciousness into a completely new life form, which is equivalent to successfully copying a human being, and if such a project can be successful, then we will also break through the limits of morality, just like the new technological clones that have emerged in the last century.

    We all say that machines are very intelligent, they can analyze themselves, they can operate according to their own programs, and if such objects are mixed with humans, then fundamentally speaking, humans are no longer humans, but have become real robots or AI people. When it comes to the survival and development of human beings on the earth, it is too short compared to the history of the earth.

    Human beings will evolve in the direction that is most beneficial to themselves, most likely the brain will continue to evolve, and the body may not change much.

    Big. Because human beings are constantly developing their intelligence, their brains will become more and more developed, so human beings will eventually grow into large heads.

    Humans will probably end up with a larger brain, because in the future, more and more things will be done with the human brain rather than with the limbs.

    Can't say that.

    Any living thing, no.

    As long as they can survive so far, as long as they can adapt well to the living environment, they are all evolutionary organisms. If evolution is not successful, there will be no survival on Earth.

    For example, the ferns in the plants, which survived from the Carboniferous and Devonian periods to the present, are not immutable, but also have to evolve continuously to adapt to the changed environment. For example, bees and ants are social insects, which have also survived from the Paleozoic Era to the present, and they are also very successful creatures in evolution.

    Compared with other living beings, human beings are not the strongest in terms of physical strength and ability to adapt to nature, and it is only the intelligence that humans have evolved to stand at the top of the biological chain by relying on wisdom. It is a successful evolution, but in nature, humans do not occupy a transcendent position, they are equal to other living beings.

    Yes, humans evolved from earlier animals.

    Biological evolution is from low to high, from simple to complex. The earliest terrestrial organisms were single-celled organisms, similar to the present archaea, and then gradually evolved into feeding single-celled protozoa and photosynthetically single-celled algae, which became plants. Then single-celled organisms evolve into multicellular organisms, and then cell functions differentiate, and the structure becomes more and more complex.

    From the perspective of various organisms, the evolutionary process is as follows:
