As a natural way of life, death has been around for only a small percentage of the time that life has been on our pla. Our pla is about billion years old. Life began about billion years ago. For most of those billion years, living creatures were immortal (不死的 ), and did not die. From billion years ago to one billion years ago, each living creature was made up of a single cell. A singlecelled creature would grow to a certain size, and then split into two, and each of those two cells would then keep on growing until they divided and so forth. These singlecelled creatures would never die of old age. They might die from being run over by a rolling stone, or from being eaten by another bigger singlecelled creature, but apart from that they would not die. But about 1 billion years ago, some of the singlecelled beings evolved into creatures with many different types of cells. These new creatures had some cells for thinking, other cells for moving, other cells for digestion, and so on. And at the same time, death was born. It seems strange, but there actually are a few advantages of dying─ at least, as far as the species is concerned. Firstly, an immortal species can’ t adapt to any changes in the environment. Only their children, with a slightly different DNA, can. Another disadvantage of immortality is that the parents and their kids would be fighting for the same amount of food. And thirdly, the DNA of these immortal creatures would constantly be damaged by radiation from space, and chemicals in the environment, leading to more shortings in the eggs carried by the mother. 56.
