Survival of the Sufficient

The philosophy film, Survival of the Sufficient, used editing to present evolution. I’m very interested in this part. Just like the movie showed that we not only edit by our parents but also everything around us. Apparently, the only way that genes pass to us is by our parents. However, we will change while we grow up gradually, no matter the metal part or the physical part does.
There are some examples. First, education will change our mental logical thinking. We went to school when we were little. The teachers, textbooks, and classmates influence us. Second, the food we eat also plays an important role. I remember I saw an article which talks about diabetes does not infect by genes. The reason why people thought diabetes will inherit because lots of diabetes families have more than 50% family members have diabetes. However, it’s all about the food because all the family members they eat same food. Finally, the environment influences us a lot, too. Basing on Darwin in Natural Selection, it said “Survival of the fittest.” That’s true. This theory not only in the nature but also in the real society can suit it. There’s a simple example. We wanted to get along with classmates well, especially wanted to be well the leader king. Sometimes, we needed to change some of our characteristics to fit the environment.
