Concept explainers
To explain: Whether H. sapiens will continue to evolve or not, with reason.
Introduction: Evolution is the change in traits of a species over generations, which is mainly dependent on the natural selection.
Explanation of Solution
The genetic change has been altering overall way of life of a species based on its nutrient intake, growth and habitat.
In early ancestors, new abilities to adapt to environmental change were favored by the human evolution that took place as a fresh
During the course of human evolution, only some qualities were passed onto next generation.
In the modern man, the use of some organs plays no role. These organs are known as vestigial organs. For example, appendix, earlobe, etc.
Hence, it is believed that after some point of time, the upcoming generation might not have these organs since birth.
Only humans have the tendency to adapt changes in the weather, environment, habitat, etc. which indicates that Homo sapiens will continue to evolve.
Yes, the Homo sapiens will continue to evolve because of their ability to adapt changes.
