Evolution

I found the evolution articles to be very interesting because although I've always believed in evolution as the way humans were created, I'd never really known much about it. I enjoyed reading about the adaptations of the different hominids. I hadn't known before that there had been other species that had come from primates but hadn't survived. I had always thought before that it was only the line that humans had evolved from although it definitely makes sense that there would have been others. I thought that it was strange that they could trace the ancestry back to one woman and it's weird to think that she could have caused so many people to be created and that her great great great great great great great...[you get where I'm going with this] grandchildren have become so different from her. I enjoyed thinking about and hearing other people's thoughts on how we might possibly evolve in the future. It seems like everything has become so easy for us that there's not really any reason to evolve since there aren't many predators to have to outrun or prey to hunt down. It really left me wondering what other ways we can possibly change to better our chances of survival.
