Possibly one characteristic or gene sequence the human species could do better without would be arrogance.
Intelligent design: the assertion that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection. Reference from Wikipedia.org.
First let me say that nowhere in this Blog will I ever define who or what is "GOD". In many cases Intelligent Design has become a football between Humanists and Religious Fundamentalists. Though both groups have a God-given right to air their opinions, both unfortunately are so polarized emotionally on the issue of Intelligent Design that I.D. is outgrowing their self-limiting arguments. And the more they argue their own agenda, the more ludicrous their arguments become. If we are to understand how we evolve we must first remove all expectations from previous philosophical, religious or scientific points of view. Have Darwin's Natural Selection theories themselves morphed into a Myth?
Scientists from both the Darwin and Intelligent Design camps continue to demonize each other as genetic research seems to have its own unique evolution, being conducted by those who just
want to know the truth. The objective of course not to disprove God but rather to know the truth about how species evolve over very long periods of time. Genetics can give us specific answers that can lead to a greater understanding how all species are related. Or not related. Studies actually are beginning to show how humans and chimpanzees could not have evolved through the laws of natural selection. Many would have a perception that humans evolved from the chimpanzee. There is no conclusion that humans evolved from monkeys and there is no scientific evidence to prove it.Latest studies show that by analyzing the nature and frequency of allele gene diversity within species we can define more how specific species evolve. What is an allele?
An allele (pronounced /ˈæliːl/ (UK), /əˈliːl/ (US)) (from the Greek αλληλος allelos, meaning each other) is one member of a pair or series of different forms of a gene. Usually referring to various types of gene sequences either coded or uncoded-sequences. An individual species genotype or groups of common chromosomes can be used to determine its relationship with other species.
For example coded or uncoded-sequences may be activated in a species of flower. A single gene controls the colour of the petals, but there may be several different versions (or alleles) of the gene. One version might result in red petals, while another might result in white petals. The resulting color of an individual flower will depend on which two alleles it possesses for the gene and how the two interact. Reference taken from Wikipedia.org.
Most recent studies are showing the human could not have evolved from the chimpanzee however both may have a common ancestral relationship common to all life. The chimpanzee has certain characteristics that define it as a species and the human has its own characteristics that define it. Two unique species. Possibly one characteristic or gene sequence the human species could do better without would be arrogance.
