Human History and Survival

Predominant Christianity and Darwinism share two theses: 1. The Human species originates at a single location, and 2. Survival is the fundamental drive of a Human, including qua the desire for immortality.  But, evidence relevant to what is subsequent to the event signified in #1 calls into question #2.  For, plainly since that origin, the species has dispersed to cover the entire Earth, has been integrating those dispersed parts, e. g. via telecommunications, and has ventured beyond the Earth,   Hence, there is strong evidence of a drive other than Survival determining Human existence, and that drive is, as has been previously discussed, Evolution, defined as an increase in complexity, or equivalently, an increase in adaptive versatility.  That #2 remains widely believed is no argument against its being supplanted, as is suggested by  the persistence of the popular beliefs that a deity exists in the sky, and that the Sun rises and sets, 500 years after Copernicus disproves them.
