Human Life - Origin and its value
2007/09/22,10:17

"Abiogenesis - study of how life on earth might have emerged" - I learnt a new term today when I was browsing Wikipedia for 'origins of life'.

It is believed to have happened 4.4 billion years ago and 2.7 billion years ago from the interaction of 'non-life' minerals.

Looking at our current 'physical' evolution, our own bodies - it is hard to believe that human kind has evolved from some kind of 'soup' of minerals, to begin with. If this is true, have we stopped evolving physically or will we be evolving further in future?. This question comes up in my mind, looking at the historical data of 'human physique' - I think it is the same for several centuries.

If we stopped evolving physically - why? what could be a possible reason?

If we further evolve physically - how and what would trigger that?

Will we be having two wings which also are hands and we all fly at will? :-) Just kidding.

Whatever the facts of the origins of the life, which the scientists were/are ardently trying to ascertain, even the historical data that we have, would let us know about the human evolution, from cave men to now.

Considering this journey, it is of no doubt that human life is very valuable and it is to be made the full use of!

Thanks to Wikipedia for the image and the statistical information on the formation of life.
