The evolution of mankind according to nature

Evolution of mankind is among one of the most controversial issues that has led to the emergence of various views from different types of people some of which have always ended up coming with a convoluted story which is difficult to follow and understand. In this article, we are going to provide a detailed comparison of two different texts but with the same subject. This will clearly provide various approaches and views that different types of authors are capable of coming up with after involving themselves in a deep and wide research. Russell Howard Tuttle clearly views the human evolution to be a gradual process through which human beings were able to adequately develop on the earth (Tuttle, 2014). He then went further to state that when it comes to the viewing of zoology as a condition, we human beings are absolutely homo-sapiens which constitutes of a strange culture which bears various types of species that walk upright on the earth surface. In addition, Russell goes further to state that these species must have experienced an evolution in Africa as a continent many years ago.

In addition to that, he states that we were in deed preceded after a very long period of time by the other hominins which majorly included Australopithecus. This has always made it to be viewed that we and the other extinct hominins are at some point related according to the various types of characteristics that we are capable of possessing. Under this research Russell strongly believed that humans did not just wake up or exist at once but there were several gradual processes that were able to take place from one stage of life to the other until the final point when humans became the modern man who was able to take part in various advanced activities. According to him nature was the only parameter that played each as every step which then led to the evolution of the entire mankind, man came from a condition where they walked on four limbs but as time kept on moving, everything started changing gradually due to the conditions of the environment as nature also stated to play its role. Man then evolved from walking with four limbs and started using two, at the same time there was also the change in posture where man stated to have an erect posture compared to his initial condition. With time man also discovered various tools which were used to carry out various types of activities including hunting and gathering which was the main source of livelihood which sustained man.

It is during this evolution stage when man discovered fire, he according to the conditions of the surrounding environment, this is when man discovered the importance of fire in cold conditions and at the same time man could also use fire in the preparation of food. It is beyond no reasonable doubt that at this particular point the life of man was totally different from the initial one before evolution started and that this view on the evolution of man strongly relies on various critical data of nature. Man’s way of thinking also was changing since there was a difference in terms of the brain capacity from one stage to the other and this too changed the way man could view various things and also how they could come up with various ideas.

Biblical view on the evolution of humankind

Despite this view on the evolution of man, there is another view which strongly focuses on the biblical way on how man came into existence. This article is the same as the initial one discussed above since they revolve around the same subject the only difference is that they have different views from two different authors who are trying to present various ideas concerning how they are able to view and understand the true meaning of evolution of mankind. In this article, Miroslav M. Kis clearly states that humankind mainly originated from the biblical way of life where he states that humans did not actually come into existence through evolution but were created by God in His own image. Miroslav goes further to state that God first created Adam where he placed him in the Garden of Eden to be in charge of everything there. Man was given the responsibility to name all the animals which were present in the in the entire garden of Eden. Later on when God saw that man was lonely, He then decided to create Eve who was to provide man with company (Religious and Theological Abstracts. Myerstown 1958). According to the Christian view of the evolution of mankind God was behind each and every situation which took place. He was the one in charge of the life that he had given to man and could take it at any time. Miroslav states that God decided to give humans a unique measure of authority concerning various issues that they should do together with the ones that they should avoid as much as possible. God needs humans to be responsible stewards who are capable of possessing various kinds of divine properties.

He states that life is a kind of property which belongs to God where He is the only person who has entrusted it to us so man should not go against His rules and regulations. In this article it is clear that there is no evolution of human kind instead what is taking place is that God is the Supreme Being who is in charge of each and every activity. The author strongly puts much information on the issues that are concerned with the creation of mankind rather than evolution in terms of nature. He also states that the evolution of humankind according to the biblical view strongly relied on the issue of being ‘sacred’ right from the start when God created man. He is strongly attached to Christianity which has a view on life to be precious where this has clearly been able to inform and determines various attitudes of the Christians humans towards various forms that are associated with nature.

In this biblical view on the evolution of humankind the author views God to be holly since all is views and characters are all associated with good ethical morals. In addition, he states that during the creation of mankind, God Himself who is the owner of life was sacred and could not be compared with anything else in the entire universe since he is the Supreme Being. Moreover, he says that when God was bringing man into existence, He was able to supply man with various tings including food and other basic needs which could sustain him throughout his life in the Garden of Eden. God gave man a sense for him to be able to think critically for himself and this is not related to the initial article where man developed various brain capacity in various stages of life. Here the author states that God is the giver of all the thinking capabilities and the way man is capable of viewing various incidences to come up with an appropriate solution.

As time went by after God had made man, Man then decided to break the law. He did what God told them not to do due to the influence that he received from Eve. God was disappointed with their action and decided to throw them out of the Garden of Eden. From this point, man was now to work hard so as to be able to meet his livelihood. This is the time when man decided to develop various ideas concerning how he was to conduct his operations on the earth surface. Man toiled hard and took part in activities such as agriculture where he cultivated tirelessly so that he could be able to meet his daily needs. Miroslav’s view pertaining the evolution of humankind is totally different from that of Russell since they argue their points based on totally different ideas which cannot be combined to be one thing. One believes in the laws of natural evolution while the other believes in the existence of the Supreme Being.

In conclusion, this situation on the evolution of humankind has got different meanings from different types of people where a good example can be seen from this entire articles which brings in various ideas and views from different authors concerning the evolution of humankind right from the hey days.

Lack of thesis:

Lack of developed conclusion.

Essay mostly summary.

I see that you have summarized the two articles, but I do not see that you have looked at the authors' rhetorical choices, as the assignment asked.

the assignment :

Purpose: To analyze and compare two texts on the same subject in order to discern the different approaches authors may take when presenting the same or similar information.

Task: Select two articles on the same subject by different authors from two different sources. Provide a brief summary of each article to orient the reader to the material covered. Analyze both authors’ use of rhetoric in order to compare the appeal, persuasiveness, and overall credibility of each piece.

Note: Avoid including your own opinion on the articles’ subject matter. Your role is to assess the way the pieces are written, not to weigh in on the topic itself.

Tips for article selection:

-Pick only articles that are intended to inform/persuade based on facts (even if they do so poorly). Reviews, personal essays, etc. which rely only on personal opinion or experience will not work well for this assignment.

-Pick articles between three and ten pages in length to make sure there is enough content to write about, but not so much as to be overwhelming.

-Articles may come from any source. But you are encouraged to use the library databases as a starting point, particularly Opposing Viewpoints.
