Abstract

This article discusses the innovative evolution of biology. In order to supplement the evolutionary theory that emphasizes “adapting to the environment”, we discuss the innovative evolution of “natural law”. The first event in the universe to be observed was “innovation”, and it was discovered that there were many innovations in human evolution. It introduces what is innovative evolution and what rules to follow. It focuses on the analysis of the performance of innovative evolution in human evolution. The innovative evolution of early human beings are mainly reflected in the liberation of hands in upright walking; the use of fire in artificial fire is the beginning of the active acquisition of energy and the active use of energy; the cooked food is fully obtaining nutrition that made the function of the brain perfect; the development of abstract thinking is the deducing interpreting substances and reforming these substances. This is the fundamental difference between human being and other animals. it is not possible for any animal to take the initiative to obtain energy and to produce food actively. So it is impossible for other primates to evolve into humans.
