HumanAbstract
From its beginnings life on earth was driven by the adaption to changing environments and the survival of the best adapted [2] The result we see today is an overwhelming variety of species, not counting the ones vanished during the last century or hundreds of millions of years ago [3], not counting the ones discovered recently in extremely improbable niches such as deep water volcanic environments at temperatures of 8000 C in total darkness under extreme pressures up to 60 MPa (600 atmospheres) [4], below Vostok in the Antarctica, the coldest spot on earth, in a lake covered by 3.7 km of ice disconnected from the rest of the world for the last 15 million years [5] in remote and all but inaccessible parts of rain forests [6], or in oxygen free, poisonous environments [7], not to speak of the untold species added continuously to the living world. A variety it is as incredibly diverse and rich to defy any conceivable master plan pretending to have (had) all this in “mind” [8]. Accidental variation, coincidences, and survival of the fittest is the name of the game.
