Gambling is part of the human nature, like many other risk taking activities, which is genetically passed down through the evolution of the human race over millions of years. The role of gambling in the survival of human race must be similar to that of sex.

The key purpose of the sex is to pass down the genes. When there is no need to reproduce, the sex still function as normal. Gambling, risk taking, games, and adventures still play a very vital role in people’s daily life nowadays, even though they might be hazardous a lot of the time.

It is said there are three stages in human evolution. First we learned to adapt to the environments to survive. Then we learned to changed the environments in order for us to live better. The third stage is still to come, which is to change ourselves genetically to fit into the changes of the environments. Even after we enter the third stage, we still be better off to learn how to follow our own nature for our own best.
