Social effect of evolutionary theory

Social effects of evolutionary theory are the changes that happen in people's lives, beliefs and the way they interact with each other when they learn more about evolutionary theory. Evolutionary theory explains how plants and animals have changed and adapted over time, and how we are all connected to each other. When people learn more about evolutionary theory, they may start to think differently about themselves and their place in the world. They may be more accepting of differences in people, because they understand that people are all related, and have been shaped by the same forces of evolution. They may also feel more connected to nature, understanding that humans and other animals are part of the same family. People might also become more respectful of other cultures and beliefs, because they understand that all people are connected to each other by the same evolutionary forces.
