Evolution as a process doesn't "care" in any meaningful sense. It doesn't "want" any specific outcome. In fact, this is one of the more damaging ideas that people end up with (e.g. "Why don't squirells just evolve to not get hit by cars?").
Evolution is a term we've used to describe a naturally occurring, largely random process. Animals get random mutations; if it causes that animal to be more likely to have successful offspring, you will tend to see more offspring with that mutation.
- rvba 3y agoOP coming and making animals or plants die off is also a part of evolution. Animals already have it quite hard without humans interfering. OP wants to bring even more interference to their habitats. There is also all the pollution. Also evolution gives the nature meaning, not "human appreciation" as written just two posts above.
- fastball 3y agoYou keep saying that without explaining yourself. How does evolution give nature meaning? How is it more than a random process?
