There is no escape from this process. ... There is no master plan, no divine architect, no intelligent design.\n<p id=\"aeaoofnhgocdbnbeljkmbjdmhbcokfdb-mousedown\">All things, including the species to which you belong, have evolved over vast stretches of time. The evolution is random, though in the case of living organisms, it involves a principle of natural selection. That is, species that are suited to survive and to reproduce successfully, endure, at least for a time; those that are not so well suited, die off quickly.
