Miracle Planet : Survival of the Fittest By : Sofia Zangolli Thiddlddb100000824368823fCH06122022112432GMT0500 Quotation “As a species, we are held captive by the only planet we know that can s... ustain life.... If we have learned anything at all from our history, it must be that, in the end, life prevails and ultimately will be the victor on the miracle planet.” ~ From Miracle Plant : Survival of the Fittest Planet earth is the only planet eligible to sustain life. In the quotation where it says “we are held captive”, we truly are. There are many other planets in our galaxy, but humans cannot live on them. “In the end life prevails and ultimately will be the victor on the miracle planet” (known as earth). This validates that life wins, each and every single person you know right now will die and that is ultimately the course of life. At some point in time everyone you know will die, and one day there will be a point in time where it seems as though you never existed. Therefore life does prevail and will be the victor. The quotation largely relates to physical anthropology because it speaks about earth and human life on the miracle planet. Physical anthropology is about the biological aspects of life and how they connect to humans.

The topic of language is difficult to study because there is not much direct evidence. Some approaches include archaeology, such as mining, and looking for traces of physical adaptation to language use from over 5 million years ago. “We cannot doubt that language owes its origin to the imitation and modification, aided by signs and gestures, of various natural sounds, the voices of other animals, and man's own instinctive cries” said by Charles Darwin. The main obstacle to the evolution of language is the fact that symbols and associations of sounds or other corresponding meanings are unreliable and could possibly be false. The evolution of language and speech has greatly developed in the 21st century we have over 5000 different forms of language spoken across the world. Humans have been exposed to great amounts of education over millions of years, corresponding with the period in which language has evolved. [Show More]
