บทคัดย่อ
This article explores the evolutionary history of life from its origins to the emergence of Homo sapiens and examines its deep connections with the humanities. It traces major biological transitions, including the rise of multicellularity, vertebrates, and primates, highlighting the cognitive and symbolic capacities that distinguish humans. The study emphasizes how evolutionary processes shaped language, morality, and culture, positioning humans as both biological products and cultural creators. It further discusses the influence of evolutionary thought on philosophy, literature, art, and religion, as well as its implications for contemporary issues such as bioethics, digital transformation, and environmental responsibility. By integrating evolutionary biology with the humanities, this work argues for an interdisciplinary synthesis that provides a holistic understanding of human nature and guides humanity toward an ethically responsible future.
