Question

As inheritors of this prehistoric genetic legacy, we are genetically predisposed to behave in ways that promoted our ancestors’ surviving and reproducing, ways that may be mismatched with our contemporary lifestyle.

In what ways might this be problematic?

Answer 1

One of the most important things that has diverted the humans from their genetic predisposition is their dependency on technology and their detachment with the nature. Early humans moved closely with the nature embracing all the creatures that lived on earth by protecting them. They learned to survive and used nature only for their needs but today people destroy nature thus paving way for greater disasters. Humans have very little knowledge about nature and the natural living. So, humans are becoming weak and dependent and in times of crisis, they are not able to survive. Secondly, humans have become very selfish that they want to work, earn and enjoy thus postponing the marriage or child birth. This would make more people impotent in the future and at the same time create an imbalance in terms of human resource in many parts of the world. Thirdly, the food habits are changing drastically and physical work is being reduced and this would result in increased obesity giving room for more incapable people on earth. This would also result in more diseases.
