What traits or characteristics do you think were passed down in humans as part of natural selection? Why do you think these characteristics are important for survival?

justasoftie:

Do you know what natural selection is?

justasoftie:

Or, what do you need help with on this problem?

justasoftie:

If you were wondering what natural selection means, here is the definition from Google: the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.

justasoftie:

Natural selection is supposed to make good traits stay and bad ones go away. Or you have better-adapted traits are able to stay, because once the parents with those better traits have offspring, those traits are passed down.

JustSaiyan:

Hmm. That's a good question. In my opinion, that trait would be our problem solving. We adapted to the weather by making clothes, we adapted to avoid predators by building homes, and eventually we grew smarter, and better. If we did not have these skills, chances are, we would have died off like the other humanoids species that never made it through the stone age.

JustSaiyan:

Plus side: We'd all have the same general GPA because we'd likely all be illiterates.

SourMunchkin7806:

Well i think some may be the fact that we are male or female pretty basic but hey its a trait

JustSaiyan:

Not to mention they make problem solving baby toys for healthy brain growth. Pro tip: The circle hole is not where the square block goes. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

SourMunchkin7806:

What Saiyan thank you!!!! I have been trying to figure out why that one didnt fit brought world peace!

justasoftie:

But now we have went from being some of the most smart things, from creating power, creating machines, and making clothes to eating tide pods and recording. Natural selection is like a cycle almost. It keeps going and going and then eventually it will burn out again, that guy who ate the first tide pod learned, you don't do that, (Though, he should have known it would destroy his stomach lining after all)
