Broader Concepts

Theory of Evolution incorrectly and insufficiently understood and applied to depict:

Europeans being the final and finest product of Evolution as a fitter and
strong species giving them right to devastate others cultures, places,
environment (i.e. We are the fittest and hence we can do whatever we want
as that is what nature has intended)

Incorrect interpretations of Evolution by Europeans include ignoring the

following facts about Evolution:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Evolution happens over thousands and billions of years

Evolution is a constant process and has no end
Everyone is part of nature, environment and ecology and no one is outside it
An impact in one place in the environment or ecology as cascading, subtle,
unimaginable impacts on other related environmental factors. For eg.
destruction of elephants or forests or Africans is not only impacting Africa but
is also impacting rest of the ecology
5. Misrepresenting geographical facts (Thames stretching upto Amazon!)
6. Both Thames and Amazon river flow into the same ocean; however,
considering Thames superior to Amazon makes no sense. Acknowledging that
Thames (denoting England) had uncultured past implies that England was
now cultured : this is self-certification of the highest order
Incorrect application of Evolution has had the following socio-economic
impacts:
1. Incorrect Notion of superiority based on race, colour, continent, gender
2. Generalization error (Europeans superior- African inferior, Trees with no
details etc.)
3. Individuals, an entire race or country or continent by incorrectly
understanding and applying Evolution theory have considered themselves
separate (superior) from rest of the inferior world called Other that
included people, environment, animals etc., - and in order to maintain their
fittest status have wrought havoc on the rest of the world
4. A difference in culture, race, and environment from that of the Europeans was
by default Other or inferior. This is a very limited and short sighted
understanding and misapplication of Evolution theory
5. Increasing violence and debauchery with commencement of elephant
slaughter for ivory , indiscriminate killing of human beings belonging to other
races, complete devastation of environment and culminating in killing of
humans for their heads as trophies i.e. road of no-end. Final realization of
the horror that the notion of superiority/separateness/exclusiveness is
hollow ; however reconciliation to becoming one with the Other is difficult
as it negates all that one has stood for and causes immense emotional and
psychological problems
