Explain how does the biological, cultural, and political evolution transform societies.

All three of these three aspects build upon the characteristics of humans that all lead to the eventual formalization of societies and all the eventual progress that society will make. The biological evolution of man has always been detrimental in giving an avenue in where the human species can survive and adapt through their own biological traits and characteristics. Small and Big evolutions in human biological characteristics overall helped in human innovation and survival like the evolution of the early humans from being quadrupeds to bipedal because evolving to bipedalism gave the early humans the ability to scour and hunt and a much bigger span of territory and land. The evolution of the capabilities of early men to think faster and much bigger enabled them to adapt and hunt animals that were much bigger than them which also gave them the ability to learn certain talents/actions like controlling fire and doing agriculture. Biological evolution is a big stepping stone to the following needed evolutions of a man like culture and politics.

Cultural evolution is a very important evolution in man’s history but it is also the one that is often ignored and judged by people in the 21st century. Since a lot of people have different cultures it was very difficult for people to unite and be together especially when they from different cultures that developed either in different aspects or different speeds of progression. Cultural evolution helped the early species of man to built a foundation in where societies can exist and prosper. The foundation built open the evolution of different types of cultural societies like hunter-gatherer societies and horticultural societies helped pave the way for the overall progression of different aspects of society like how people trade with each other, how certain family dynamics within the family worked, how the economy in societies work, and even how governments within societies work. The most notable and most prominent results of different cultural evolutions in our world today is the different ways national governments conduct themselves depending on their culture whether it be democratic or even capitalistic.

Political evolution is the result of varying degrees in cultural evolution because a lot of ways how certain politics are conducted on different countries is highly dependent on the cultural characteristics that have evolved over time. The political evolution of characteristics can either lead to a faster rate of progression and development of societies or lead to the slow improvement of cultures due to inefficient or lacking cultural traits. Political evolution most often than not also helps give an identity for a society that can be recognized by other different societies either locally or internationally. Societal differences in how they evolve also result in relationships being built by different societies that either have the same or different political traits that can also either lead to peace or war. Society cannot function and exist properly if any society lacks certain cultural, political, and biological evolutions which is why certain countries/societies are more advanced and progressive than others. The slow but needed progression of biological evolution resulting in cultural evolution also resulting in political evolution all lead to the formation/transformation of the societies that reside within said evolutions.
