Evolution
Its not a deniable thing. It happened and it is continuing to happen. unfortunately, for the human race, we are evolving into less and less complex things. It is still called evolution because evolution does not mean to become more complex, it means to change, adapt, become better suited for an environment. While in general for the majority of the organisms on earth, it means becoming more complex, acquiring new traits, new ways to survive. For humans evolution is losing primitive unnecessary traits not needed to survive in our overly pampered lifestyles. Ideally, adapting to our environment would be a good thing, unfortunately for us the environment we are adapting to is highly unstable, man made, and could be gone in minutes. This is not a good thing. Evolution is good. Correction, evolution in nature is good, it takes a long time and adapts to an environment that changes very gradually, with some exceptions. This society driven evolution is bad, we are adapting to an environment that changes rapidly and is prone to disaster. The worst part about the evolution that the human race is experiencing, is it is making us dependent on technology, dependent on society. The human race is thus experiencing a slide into less and less complexity. We are thinking less, making less on our own, achieving less on our own. We are relying on machines to build for us, we have to grow our own food, we have to use fire to keep us warm. It is a slippery slope, and the majority of the human race do not seem to notice society barreling down it. Just saying
