Is it important to you, personally, to know about human evolution? Why or why not?

التوضيح

موثّق

Homo sapiens (humans) have a proximate relationship with evolution. From the study of various fossils, it is clear that humans are closely related to primates like apes, lemurs, and chimpanzees. It was also concluded that all the primates, including humans have evolved from a common ancestor.
The study of human evolution is, therefore, important not only from a genealogical point of view but to understand the true nature of humans, their behavior and what it means to be human. The manner of evolution cuts straight into our nature and defines the humans.
If biological modification of hominids by natural selection is true, then they might legitimately sum up that the natural selection has contributed to our identifiable human condition.
However, there also exists a morphological disparity among various groups that reveal a picture of diversity and time periods in between with nothing happening. A non-directional history also focuses the extent to, which the organisms are individually responsible for their own behaviors.
