Why humans evolve faster than the average creature

Because humans take different paths. Also, humans don't evolve very quickly all the time, and it's important to know a little bit about biological history.

In the age of the dinosaurs, the ancestor of humans was just a mouse-like creature, and for hundreds of millions of years, there was almost no change in appearance. Because the land is the world of reptiles, the "rats" will never have the opportunity to evolve, so they can only survive in steal.

Until the appearance of a meteorite changed all that.

Because of the long-term maintenance of the mouse-like primitive form, our mammalian ancestors were able to develop in many directions, and it was the humble "mouse" that evolved into different branches, including all mammals such as elephants, humans, dogs, pigs, etc. today.

After the extinction of the dinosaurs, our rate of evolution increased several times! One of the branches lives in the trees, evolves into apes, and finally lives in the savanna on the ground. Our ancestors learned to stand due to the vegetation in the steppes that obscured the view.

But it means that we expose our bodies, and we learn to use tools – and that's the only way we can go.

Carnivores have evolved for millions of years, all of which have evolved teeth, claws, size, and speed, and our ancestors have always lived in trees, and they have no ability to fight against them when they go down the ground, so they can only take the path of IQ evolution, which has also made us what we are today.

It can be said that the evolution of human beings depends on countless chances and coincidences. Our appearance has almost stopped changing, and our brains are still evolving rapidly, and we will get smarter and smarter in the future.

Because man first liberates his forelimbs.

Of course, it is possible to get faster and faster, because it takes hundreds of millions of years from the birth of single-celled cells to the birth of multicellular organisms, but it only takes a few hundred million years for multicellular organisms to become primitive organisms, so the rate of biological evolution is getting faster and faster.

The speed and direction of biological evolution are mainly caused by environmental conditions, if the cycle of environmental change is too slow, then the speed of biological evolution will also slow down, and if the cycle of environmental change is fast, then the speed of biological evolution will be relatively fast.

It's possible. Because human science and technology are developing very fast, and human activities are accelerating environmental changes, the natural evolution of organisms is likely to be faster and faster.

Because of the emergence of high intelligence in human beings, they can make various tools and then design intelligent tools based on tools. When tools become intelligent, humans can modify designs in a soft state, which greatly accelerates the rate of evolution. Human beings have broken through the shackles of biological evolution and relied on external tools to achieve evolution.

For example, you can think of the invention of the telescope as the evolution of human eyesight. Think of the invention of the automobile as the evolution of human strength. Think of the invention of the computer as the evolution of the human brain.

In terms of biological ontology, human beings are not much different from Homo sapiens 200,000 years ago, but in terms of the process of civilization, human beings have achieved great evolution.

It has been about 4 million years since Homo erectus appeared on the earth, about 200,000 years since the emergence of Homo sapiens, about 5,000 years since the emergence of agricultural civilization, and 300 years since the emergence of industrial and commercial civilization, and the development of human civilization has accelerated exponentially.

Looking at the history of mankind, when human beings stood at the spire of their own high-tech gold tower, the distance from the ground became farther and farther away. The continuous advancement of science and technology has made the world's requirements for human survival higher and higher, both physically and mentally. A long time ago, in order to live, people had to do manual labor such as farming on a regular basis.

The elite of society are almost all well-informed "all-rounders" who can accomplish "miracle" projects that are incomprehensible with modern technology.

Question addendum: Many literati in ancient China were all-rounders who were proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, astronomy and geography, and so on. For example, Kong Ming is not only proficient, but also proficient in psychology, philosophy, and so on.

According to the alien theory, it is because humans and aliens in ancient times mated that the progress of human genes was promoted, so human beings evolved so fast.

Why have humans evolved in such a short period of time?
