Why Evolve?: the Gains from Evolution

Publisher Marketing: WHY EVOLVE? What is the fundamental cause of evolution? Widely accepted modern theory of evolution lists down mutation (of sex cells), natural selection, limited size of population, partial breeding, non random mating, difference in the number of offspring as well as migration as the seven conditions which are contributing to the smooth conduct of evolution. What embellishments has nature instituted, to facilitate all (or any) of these conditions, similar to pollination, seed dispersal etc existing in plant life? Reflecting further, one could be reaching an important conclusion - the male is a poor performer as far as the essential male function is concerned. As he is terrified of 'performing', which he will have to if he retires to his chamber, he would want to delay that event as much as possible. This explains why, for instance, male animals play with their prey for quite some time before killing it or letting it escape, unlike their female counterparts whose masterly grip on all activities of life is a legion. Having already acquainted themselves with this problem as far as animal life go, one would have become geared up to venture into the human life and see how the 'hominid' fare as far as 'performance' go. Naturally, ones attention would have been drawn to the possibility of our forefathers becoming aware of the horrendous future; man is destined to be having in store, if woman too, like the female of every other species, was to express her disgust immediately after each and every instance of sexual union. Further study in this direction would have led to identification of the enormous efforts our forefathers have taken to provide us with a defensive armor. What else is the reason for the myriad of strange customs, traditions and manners the human beings can boast of? A new theory of evolution can then be formulated, thus. Life began with a single celled organism and all other forms (versions) of life evolved thereafter in a process of continuous improvement or modification. That is to say, as and when a new version of life evolved, one more factor of significance happened to get added which could further delay or limit the occasions to 'perform' in comparison with the earlier version of life. Evolution of animals with increasing complexity of regeneration system could have been the direction in which life traveled thereafter ending with humans. By the time the evolution reached the gate of hominids, possibly having exhausted all natural factors capable of limiting 'performance', nature seems to have taken recourse to erecting abstract walls of infinite categories to limit such occasions. Thus we have, unlike other forms of animal life, possibility of limiting male female union based on countless divisions, national, linguistic etc of the social front, size, color, age and others of the personal front, honest, courageous, exciting and others of the abstract front, to name a few. Naturally, one of the questions anyone could be seized of, shall concern the rationale behind the establishment of such a shortfall in male. What magic, one would be left to wonder, can this do to life? Many a moment of reflection in this direction shall be making each and every one wonder about the commendable foresight and ingenuity of nature in instituting such a simple formula to doubly ensure continuation of species.
