ABOUT OUR FORM
Why
do we look the way we are?
I am
speaking to you about the human form. Evolution as you know tells us a lot
about why and how we gained this present form. The most intelligent creature on
Earth needs to acquire the compatibility with a head having all perception
organs fitted above a strong shoulder line with arms that can momentum and make
you walk comfortably on your legs. In between you have a frame that encloses a
complex body system that encompasses all the gadgetry required to run and
support the form.
Aquatic life in the sea has innumerable forms
not always conceived to adapt to the liquid that surrounds. The several forms
of the fish cannot be compared to the form of a seahorse or an octopus. On the
surface of the earth we have monkeys that can move faster, dogs who can sniff
better. Carnivorous animals have stronger teeth and some others can focus in
the night better. This is all a matter of adaptability.
One
day we could mutate ourselves and achieve all those powerful senses. May be the
evolvement would take 10000 yrs. This could be better thought by analysing a
more intelligent life in space , more older and intelligent than us, in the
form of aliens.
Aliens have been imagined to have a bigger
head size, longer stretchable arms and thinner lower limbs with extraordinary
perception organs by fantasy and fiction writers as well as by scientists.
I
have always defied this logic that aliens would have similar but more evolved
features. We may simply not recognise them because of this notion. They could
be more abstract and our normal thinking process as they may have evolved over
entirely different parameters. Imagine the form of a spongy boulder with entire
body being able to see, listen, sniff, taste and smell. How does this form move?
It has to have a very flexible muscle building inherent characteristic that can
stretch out and take the form of two legs while running, four legs while
walking or assume the form of a caterpillar while treading. This form could fly
to a certain extent. It needs to be delved into as to how its metabolic,
nervous and blood systems needed and worked. We don’t need the tonsils, we shed
away our tail. We could evolve better system may be in a different body form.
