All species develop over time, with weaker genes receding and those which enhance the species becoming more dominant. However, as lifestyles adjust, so do the genes which are recognized as the desired genes. When men hunted for food, they were required to be strong and fast. The man who was weak would not stay alive and women would be looking for effective providers for them and their offspring.
Time moved on and it was not necessary for men to hunt for food, women now looked for partners who were good providers, money-wise. Guys wanted women to be good homemakers and parents. We, on the whole, wanted partners who were good communicators and had good personal hygiene habits.
Now, with the growth in Internet Business, more people Work From Home and it may not now be the case that those who were thought to be a bit geeky are still regarded in this light. Those with Online Jobs, who are able to make a good living in this new and expanding industry may be those whose genes we would wish to have in the future.
Sometimes people will try and push evolution in a certain direction – think Adolf Hitler and his desire for a superior race, how he was willing to kill anybody who he thought inferior, mainly based on colour and religion – however, the significant changes are those which happen naturally. Therefore, the advance into Online Jobs through the Internet Business, giving the chance to Work From Home are more likely to have a long-lasting effect.
To sit at a laptop, alone, does not take the normal social skills connected with human beings, we evolved as we did because of our very need and requirement to be social animals. What, therefore could change within our evolution route if it is no longer necessary to be perfectly groomed, attractive and chatty? Will we be able to survive as a species if we no longer need others in order to fulfil our daily needs and requirements? Will we adapt to this change in our nature and be happy to communicate over the net, even while we are sat in the same room as the person with whom we are having the conversation?
I like to think that the increase in Internet Business has given us free-will to make choices. Do we want to go out to our job, or would we rather Work From Home? Do we wish to spend hours shopping in the malls, or do we prefer a quick purchase from an internet shop?
Perhaps this is just another little step in our evolution. Medicine made great leaps in being able to assist weaker members of the species to function 100% in our society and perhaps the internet increase will be just another such move. It would definitely be interesting to understand how this will change the pattern of human lives over the next few thousand years. It could be that it will just be a very small blip which will not make any great difference, but then again it may be the dawn of a whole new era.
