fragments (way to cheat evolution)

I’ll put it simply. Simplicity is the closest objectivity one can touch; it is the shortest way to the truth.
There is a frequently adjusted guess for how long mankind lives on this planet. Some say for a few thousands of years, others propose a hundreds of thousands and I recently read the article when the latest genetic research trace some of our genes as far as about tree and a half billion years back in time. And it seems that most of this time man was evolving physically and only fairly recently evolution tilted into the favor of consciousness. The quantity caved under the pressure of quality.
Some of us believe that all started from Adam and Eve. It is hard for me to see any logical purpose of this glorious act of God, like he was unable to foresee which turn this road would take later. And let face it, he gave us only promises and punishments. Only the questions…long way to reach the sweet enlighntment.
Some people entertain the notion of an advanced alien race creating perfect slave race for a gold mining and serving their other superior needs. Considering our pathetic life span, we needed much more time to multiply to the number that would be sufficient enough for those assignments, unless they polluted all drinkable water on the planet with some kind of fancy genetic cocktail and humanity made evolutionary jump almost overnight.
Perhaps it was much simpler. Man is not the fastest creature alive, nor the strongest one; man have no venom stored to repel the predator, man have no night vision and his newborns are much more vulnerable then offspring of other mammals. Therefore, man needed to develop other survival mechanisms to continue his kind. And he did; we are the proof of it. I think that man just learned to prioritize his actions: wants versus needs. As you would guess, wants always ahead of needs. It was nice way to cheat evolution, still is.
