The Cycle Of Evolution And The Hope For The Distant Future

The cycle of evolution and the hope for the distant future 

by Noaman Dadghir

When we think about the stone age we probably think about 2.6 million years ago to as recent as 12.000 year ago, when the first breed of human beings started using stone tools that era was the starting line for the evolution of the human race, They used stone tools to cut, pound, and crush—making them better at extracting meat and other nutrients from animals and plants than their earlier ancestors as they lived in small, nomadic groups. During much of this period, the Earth was in an Ice Age—a period of colder global temperatures and glacial expansion. 

Fast forward to 12.000 years ago when the earth entered a warming period ending the last ice age brining the Fertile Crescent which is the boomerang-shaped region of the Middle East that was home to some of the earliest human civilizations. Also known as the “Cradle of Civilization,” this area was the birthplace of a number of technological innovations, including writing, the wheel, agriculture, and the use of irrigation. And so the evolution moves on to the Victorian era and to the 20th century and the industrial revolution, the first world war and the second, the cold war AND THEN we enter the technological evolution and the rise of technology, first cell phone, the first laptop, the first iphone, the first  hybrid car, breaking the sound barrier, the Tesla. And it goes on as the hunger for evolution continues
And this might just be what happens, why else would we want to do this, why do we work so hard, imagine you’re driving on the highway in a Tesla and it’s on auto pilot your hand is barely on the wheel listening to a podcast that you downloaded from THE SKY and streaming through the air with something called Bluetooth -whatever that is- received on a giant screen on the dashboard that has high resolution connected to a GPS satellite telling you where you’re going, what way are you taking, and when are going to be there, we have come a long way from the stone age, AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES. 

Recent studies show that apes and monkey such as chimpanzees, orangutans, and macaques have entered the stone age where archeologists unearthed some truly remarkable stone tools in the rainforests of west Africa, the woodlands of Brazil and the beaches of Thailand, it’s not the antiquity nor the workmanship of these tools that is remarkable as these stone tool wouldn’t appeal to the average person anything more than old rocks, but what makes them special is that they are used by these monkeys and apes to bust open hard surfaced fruits and dead trees which is something unfathomable as we are literally watching the evolution of the human race play out right in front of our eyes all over again, and maybe this isn’t just happening here on this planet maybe this is happening all over the universe, as we are only adolescents in this universe, what’s stopping us from thinking that it’s being done on a much larger scale, there are signs all over this planet that suggest that we may not be the only intelligent life form in the cosmos, there is a pattern here, there are steps to evolution it doesn’t happen overnight and maybe there’s some other intelligent life form out there that’s thousands of years more advanced than us, just like when you look at the pyramids of Giza, Pyramid of Cestius in Italy, the great pyramid of Cholula in Mexico I like to entertain the idea the race that built those pyramids is as advanced to us as we are to those apes , I believe the signs are everywhere you just have to open your eyes. 

And all of this only leads me to believe that in some way the aliens we always think about are descendants of us as we are descendants of chimpanzees and that and we came back to earth after we abandoned it thousands of years from now, to check on the evolution of the apes (us)

It is inevitable that we are going to run into that intelligent life form, it is just a matter of time and it makes me sad that there’s a great possibility that we won’t be here for that moment.
