Abstract Evolution is a gradual but continuous process.
To explain the process of organic evolution different the-
ories have been put forward by various authorities. But, all
these theories are significant in respect to explanations of
the possible mechanisms of evolution and certainly without
acceptable analysis regarding the cause of initiation of
evolution and the reason of maintaining the said flow all
along. In the present article it is hypothesized that the
process of initiation of evolution is initiated due to will
force and the said flow is being maintained because of
will force.

Introduction
According to Free Dictionary evolution is a gradual pro-
cess in which something changes into a different and
usually more complex or better form. This is equally
applicable for inorganic and organic elements. The estab-
lished fact is thatorganic evolution, as advocated by
Darwin (1859) is descent with modifications. That is, all
plants and animals existing at present, are descendants of a
very few ancient and much more simple form of life.
Obviously, question ariseswhat is life and how does it
appear on the Earth? This compelled us to trace back the
organic matters produced to form life. Practically, these

were nothing but an orderly arranged inorganic elements.
Thus, we had to enquire regarding origin of the planet
Earth, that is, Planetary Evolution. And, under such a
situation scientists were stimulated to get an idea regarding
occurrence of various types of elementsa phenomenon
known as Chemical Evolution. Further, to guess the
original source of the chemical elements Stellar Evolu-
tion was recognized by the scientists. Of course, the
Stellar Evolution was the result of Cosmic Evolution
that is, the initial stage of evolution which was effected
through the sudden big bang (Singh 2005).
The Present State of Knowledge on Evolution
It is now accepted that the evolution is a continuous pro-
cess since its initiation with the Cosmic Evolution in the
following trend.
Cosmic Evolution ! Stellar Evolution
! Chemical Evolution
! Planetary Evolution
! Organic Evolution
It is assumed that place, time, matter and energy somehow
expanded from the unknown source in the sudden big
bang (Singh 2005) and thus, our universe was produced.
Further, in the second stage of evolution (Stellar Evolution)
it is thought that the Hydrogen, Helium and certain vari-
eties of subordinate particles which were produced by big
bang, somehow condensed to shape the stars. Also, at the
same time incredible heat and pressure within stars pro-
duced other 88 now, naturally occurring chemical elements
out of Hydrogen, Helium (may be Lithium) through big
bang. With the death of stellar life cycles the complex
chemical elements which were evolved within ancient stars

were somehow ejected out with the clouds. These clouds
with chemical elements somehow formed finely-tuned
solar systems, including the planet Earth. The Earth began
as a molten mass of matter, a few billions years ago. It
cooled off into solid dry rock. Then, it rained on the rocks
for millions of years, forming great oceans. Eventually,
some inorganic elements assembled in such a manner that
led to a spontaneous vibration. That is, life appeared on the
Earth. Self replication of the same began and organic
systems developed. With time, as per need such organic
bodies modified successively, that is, Organic Evolution
was initiated. This is very much amalgamated with macro-
and micro-evolution. The above facts of evolution are
described here following www.AllAboutGOD.com. But,
the question remains unsolved regarding why such events
happened successively? That is, how the energetic matters
evolved due to cosmic evolution succeeded in producing
Homo sapiens sapiens. Undoubtedly, it is mysterious. I
hypothesized that the mystery behind these events is Will
force.
What is Will Force?
A force is a push or pull that is capable of changing
velocity of a mass. Force is measured in Newtons or
N in honour of Sir Isaac Newton. According to Newton
an object will only accelerate if there is net force acting
upon it (https://www.mansfieldct.org). This means an ele-
ment or object has self-force. This is the will force.
Fate of Will Force
Will force is the cause of journey of the element or object.
But, certainly the said journey is a continuous process. Of
course, with a degree of differences in identity. Such dif-
ferences are induced by the will force of the element/
object concerned in respect to the compatibility with the
will force of the prospective element/object to be adhered
to. The result of such adherence is the production of new
but more complex object and certainly with the progressive
force which in due course of time, will act as will force of
the said object. Thus, some of such objects would succeed
to reach at the goal while many more would either perish
and/or continue the journey until the will force coincides
with the compatible will force to produce another form of
object. Just like half-life of the radioactive substances these
will force bearing objects have certainly a definite length
of time of viable periodmay be few millions of years. So,
at any given point of time an object may be seen in its
original form while some of the contemporary members of
the same object may be seen in modified forms. Thus, in
123
the early universe carbon and the other molecules made
from the same have been observed (Ehrenfreund et al.
2011). However, there exists no conflict regarding impact
of conditions (environmental) of the planet Earth. In other
words, the changing conditions of the surroundings act as
stimulation in maintaining the will force by the objects.
Thus, evolution is a continuous process. Because, the
objects occurring on the Earth are with varying type of
will forcethe key factor for a progressive movement.
Certainly, there exists no possibility to make the objects
energy free to remove the will force from the same.
Inorganic Evolution
On Thursday, the 21st December 1911 Dr. E. P. Harrison
delivered his talk on Inorganic Evolution in the Monthly
Meeting of the Astronomical Society of India (Harrison
1912). Admitting Darwins thought on Organic Evolution
Dr. Harrison presented his thought on inorganic evolution.
On way of explaining the light emitted by different kinds of
flames he was able to establish the role of temperature in
producing different forms of metals. He inferred that all
elements are derived from Helium or possibly simpler,
following nebular event, by association. In fact, existence
of C, O, P, N, Fe, Zn etc. though could be recognized
clearly it is sure that the appearance of CO, CO2, FeO etc.
were after events. Thus, at present there are 88 naturally
occurring chemical elements and, secondary as well as
tertiary productions, in association of some of these ele-
ments would be much more. Thus, the essence of inorganic
evolution is that the Hydrogen and Helium (and possibly
Lithium) which were produced by the Big Bang are the
parental source of all chemicals formed subsequently.
Organic Evolution
One of the many assemblages of inorganic molecules in
respect to their will forces succeeded, once upon a time to
create organic mass with self-responding propertiesthe
origin of life. With time, the said organic mass, better be
called as organism had to overcome the hazards of the
changing surroundings and thereby, their will forces
resulted in producing organisms belonging to Monera to
Animalia through geological era. Lot of explanations are
there regarding emergence of higher taxa from the lower
taxa. Besides, the surprising event in organic evolution
the photosynthesis, is the output of will force. Because,
air containing CO2, O2, N etc. while came in contact with
RuBP (ribulose bisphosphate) only CO2 was able to mix
with the same to produce the organic compound PGA
(phosphoglyceraldehyde). On the other hand, O2 was
Proc Zool Soc (Jan-June 2017) 70(1):14
utilized to break down the glucose in course of respiration.
These were possible only because of will force of the
inorganic molecules like CO2 and O2 in respect to the will
force of the corresponding organic molecules.
The theory proposed by Lamarck (1809) is severely
criticized by the later workers with the comments that the
son of a gymnast would not be with muscle configuration
after his father and the rats with amputated tails would
never be able to produce offspring without tail. Because,
these are possible only when these characters are embed-
ded in germplasm (Weismann 18911892). Such changes
in genes though were not known to Darwin he strongly
advocated thatonly fittest organisms are favoured by
nature and thereby, Natural Selection is the key factor of
the origin of species (Darwin 1859). To draw this conclu-
sion Darwin tried to strengthen the fact by explaining the
stages like struggle for existence, occurrence of variations
and survival of fittest. But, the question arises why genes
will be modified and/or shouldering responsibility to
restore the course of evolution? Selection pressure? If so,
then only such organisms are favoured by Natural Selec-
tion who are emerging with favourable variations. Here is
the point of will force. Simply, an organisms genetic
make up would not go on changing without the will of the
organisms concerned. This could be justified from the fact
of failure of Weismanns attempts to get tailless rats
through experimental studies. Because, neither the male
nor the female rats were willing to remove their tails from
their bodies. It is apparent that, will force if triggered by
the surroundings the same should be maintained in one
direction to achieve the goal. This could be explained from
the fact of limbless adaptation of snakes. Lamarck
explained that, because of no use of limbs for a consider-
able length of time the snakes became limbless. Now,
according to Darwin limbless snakes are favoured by the
Nature as variations they exhibited are on the pathway of
Natural Selection. Alternately, it can be said that, the
snakes if tried to produce more legs to lift the body in
course of walking then, they would have failed to survive.
On the contrary, their will force to ensure speedy and
easy movement under any circumstances acted accord-
ingly, and the said character ultimately became the genetic
character of inheritance property. Likewise, we can think
of a gourd plant. It can crawl on the ground and also is able
to climb up by the help of a support. Practically the will
force of gourd plant is tuned to go up just like a woody
tree. But, the problem is associated with the weak stem.
Therefore, gourd plants had to develop tendrils with a view
to hold the support during climbing as well as to stand erect
subsequently. On the contrary, in cases of certain species of
plant climbers, there exists no tendrils as a support for
climbing rather the plant itself on way of coiling the sup-
port tend to move upward. So, the will force is to move
3
upward no matter what device is applicable for the same
but certainly to ensure survival and propagation.
In micro evolution will force is the only cause for the
development of sex in organisms as well as the movement
of one kind of sex bearing organisms to the opposite kind
of sex bearing organism of the same species. It is practi-
cally impossible by a Vallishneria female flower to come in
contact with the male flower floating at the surface water, if
the said plant is devoid of will force to do the same by
increasing the length of the petiole of the female flower to
enable it to come at the surface level of water.
Conclusion
Organic evolution will be continuing as long as the will
force of organisms would exist. It is obvious that organ-
isms would not be able to survive without will and
thereby will force. The will force of organisms is much
powerful to orient the course of organic evolution and to
imprint the facts in the genes to inherit the will force
property in subsequent generations of the species con-
cerned. Certainly, will force of organisms is influenced
by the surroundings. Thus, the giraffes were able to
increase the length of their neck successively through the
geological times. But, rest assure, such will force would be
the cause of extinction of these beautiful animals as will
force is tuned to move forward not backward, because of
structural organization attained by these animals in course
of execution of progressive steps by the will forcea
case, may be comparable with the dinosaurs extinction. In
this context it is to be mentioned here that Dollo (1893) and
Bridgham et al. (2009) opined that evolution is not possible
in reversed way.
Therefore, genes are components of a living body. These
are not the cause of evolution but are tools to regulate the
structure and functions of the organisms in respect to
species. However, appearance of new type of genes as well
as structural variation in organisms are the results of will
force. So, will force is the root of evolution and the
theories we are considering nowadays to explain the
mechanisms of evolution are nothing but the evidences of
implementation of the will force.
