Why do we as a species continue to grow

On so many levels and at similar rates?

Why are we more “evolved” than other creatures? And why are we competitive?

Evolution doesn’t need a reason to happen. It’s a theory that explains what’s happening. Speciation and natural selection answers your questions to an extent.

Thank you. Then isn’t it fascinating. Speciation? I suppose our purpose is to control it as we have a tendency to destroy it, but to what end? You can see purpose in other species.. at least in the food cycle ...@DrScissorhands
We can not and do not control speciation. Unless of course we are referring to artificial selection as in the case of domesticated animals. Natural selection sieves through the genes better adapted for the environment we live in. That’s as specific as it gets. And yes, it’s fascinating as it explains the fundamentals of human origins. @Mindful
