- What does he mean by saying that human evolution is contingent on random historical events?
Is this true of all species’ evolution?
Do you agree?
According to Stephen Jay, 2013, human evolution has been dependent on random historical events. This infers that historical events are contingent on thousands of other random events that preceded it, each of which need not to have happened in the manner in which it did. As such, the current events are massively improbable in that they could have occurred in different ways thereby inferring they are random events, all of which have shaped human evolution. Thus, human evolution might have unfolded differently, which would have still been sensible, had the random events occurred differently (Turner, Blount & Lenski, 2015). Notably, the same can be replicated to all species of evolution as their history is wrought on unique events that might have occurred differently (Turner, Blount & Lenski, 2015).
