Why Are We Here?

we
Often we ask ourselves why are we here. This semester, I have learned a lot about this

question. After learning about fossils from different parts of the world, I am convinced that
humans began a great journey out of eastern Africa around 60,000 years ago. Evidence

shows that early humans explored all areas of the globe. How did they survive? Scientists
say us that these early humans discovered plants and animals to eat and found ways to

stay warm. But, they are not certain how did they move across wide oceans and over rough
terrain. I’m sure many didn’t survive.

The question is why they did it? I believe the reason is that humans have an innate
desire to explore, learn, and take risks. The author T.S. Eliot said, “only those who will risk

going too far can possibly find how far one can go.” This suggests that being an explorer and

taking risks helps us to survive and succeed. We should all ask ourselves, “What I am doing
to improve life for the people who will live after me?”
