Organic Philosophy and Climate Change

By Hassan Rasheed

The boundaries of organic evolution on Earth existed in the interactions of the double helix with the environment. However, modern humanity’s thought processes created new boundaries, perceptions and value systems that altered the course of this evolution. As a result, the plants, animals, insects and microbes of the planet, with their muted voices, are losing the battle with the creators of technology who declared their arrogant beliefs in a cacophony.
This publication requires a paradigm shift by the general reader because it essentially goes against most of what was taught since childhood. It is hoped this volume will introduce a sense of humility and reality with an awareness of balance and equality as exhibited by our quickly disappearing indigenous tribes such as those of the Amazon river basin.

Chapter 1

    Evolution

    There are two aspects of organic evolution on Earth. The first is environmental evolution. This includes the local species, ecosystems, the globe and the cosmos. Of course, each one of these three environments follows the laws of physics. The kernel of this evolution is the element or the compound of elements which we can’t see but which have a macro physical appearance with different names such as bird, rock, stream, mountain and so on.

    The second aspect of organic evolution is the individual species in question evolution that is dependent on its genetic material and the environment. The genetic material also follows the laws of physics. The transcription of the genetic material produces the visible physical appearance that we can see. Part of this visible physical appearance of the living is its behavior. For example, a dog hunts for its meal each day. Another behavior is that of reproduction.

    In summary, both environmental and species evolution follow the laws of physics the only difference is their ability to reproduce; the environment generally does not reproduce while the species does.

    The different species of plants, animals, insects and microbes evolve through the mutation of the genetic material. The source of these mutations usually comes from the external environment of the individual or species in question.

    Changes to eye color for example comes about by subjecting the breeding individual to a mutagen; natural selection picks the preferred eye-colored individuals to survive from the progeny who in turn breed more of the same eye color. So, the question is how does the mutagen do this? Radiation for example is a mutagen that can be thought of as a packet of energy that hits the genetic material of a reproductive egg randomly creating a change.  In turn producing a morphological change when the egg undergoes further development.

    It is important to note a mutagen may produce individuals with aberrant or nonfunctioning features causing them to die or have a lifelong debilitating disease. Mutations rarely produce the right result. That is why evolution takes such a long time to come to fruition and produce a new viable species.

    It may not be obvious to the reader that reproduction is the driving force of evolution. Without reproduction there is no expression of any changes to the genetic codes and in turn any changes to the physical appearance or behavior of the new-born. So, the living must be bent on reproducing themselves in order to survive in a changing environment.

    The ever-changing environment keeps putting pressure on the individual who must survive or perish. Changes to the environment effecting the course of evolution include changes to other species, rainfall, snowfall, glacier formation, flooding, river flows or macro changes such as tectonic movements to name just a few.

    It is the interaction between the environmental changes versus the changes
