Both are good.
Would you like to get a puppy, one that is so small and cute? ^^

I want one! But even more, I want to get a bigger dog... a Caucasian Shepherd Dog, or a German Shepherd... And among the small breeds, terriers are the funniest ^^ Would you like to meet mutants?

According to the theory of evolution, organisms improve through mutation (whereby beneficial traits are preserved, and unnecessary ones are eliminated through natural selection). So, we are all mutants in a certain sense. And the answer to the previous speaker's question becomes quite obvious.
Did you know that?
O God of Earth and Altar, Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, Take away our pride.

No:) Isn't that a rather obvious answer? I would say no, given that information... How long do you think you could survive without evolution, in conditions harsher than those faced by Robinson Crusoe?

without evolution
Without "the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations," I think I could definitely survive for one generation. Without spiritual evolution, of course, it would be difficult, but in the end, some people live even with "de-evolution." Without civilization, it would certainly be tough. Usually, in cases like "Robinson Crusoe," people went crazy and became savage. Man is, after all, a biosocial being, and society is his support. In essence, this entire book by Daniel Defoe is a hymn to capitalism, proving the importance of the material aspect of the world for human existence and the ability of one person to fully support themselves. A hymn to labor. But still, Crusoe really missed communication... in reality, I think that in 15 years, he would have forgotten the language if he hadn't actively used it. That's the way it is.
Where to find the truth? ;)

By the way, the problem of antisocial existence is very interestingly portrayed in the film "I Am Legend." It's like Robinson Crusoe, but living in a city, where the people... Well, I won't spoil it, I just recommend you watch it. ;)

Hmm, I haven't had a chance to watch this movie yet, probably because before that I only heard one vague review along the lines of "this movie is totally awesome, so much blood, and then he blows himself up!" That didn't really pique my interest. But now that I'll have a decent internet connection, I'll download it...

By the way, I watched "I Am Legend," it's an interesting movie. Billions die, but unlike "The Bridge on the River Kwai," it doesn't really evoke strong emotions, although, of course, you feel sorry for the doctor and his dog =/ He wasn't so lonely with her, although his mannequin friends also died!!!)) I won't watch such intense movies before going to bed anymore.
