anthropic principleThe anthropic principle is the philosophical argument apparently first stated by Brandon Carter, and popularized by Nick Bostrom.There are a variety of forms -- the weak anthropic principle, the strong anthropic principle, the final anthropic principle, etc.It may have implications for fundamental physics and cosmology.anthropic robotMany people have developed anthropic robots, also called androids.While artificial devices in more or less the shape of humans have stirred the imagination for centuries, perhaps the first bipedal walking robot was the 1995 Wabian from Waseda University.
Part of the 'anthropic universe' theory surmises that stars only shine because there is a human eye to witness it's light.
An anthropic principle is any of several similar explanations for the nature of the universe, which state that either the universe is as it is because otherwise we wouldn't be able to observe it, or that the presence of intelligent life constrains the universe to its current form.
No form of the cosmological anthropic principle challenges evolution. Objective reality, as defined by science and rationality, confirms that our species emerged as part of living nature. You exist because it has taken an entire Universe some 13.7 billion years to produce you, and the variations of the Cosmological Anthropic Principle do not contradict the overwhelming evidence of current scientific knowledge. In fact, it is because the human mind evolved that we (humanity) are able to ask such questions. For those who have chosen to adopt a religions 'set of beliefs' that contradict reality this is an uncomfortable truth, but those adopt a pantheist spiritual path, such as Hinduism, Buddhism and so on (thought there are some simplistic belief-based sects amongst these religions) are able to accept a scientific, rational picture of reality, knowing the content of their religion is instead part of our 'experiential reality', like the experience of love. Spiritual experiences are real in this respect, but not part of objective reality. The Anthropic Principle, properly understood, allows for human interpretation whilst maintaining scientific and rational integrity.
The lesser anthropic principle. Expanding on that a bit: if the Sun were NOT a main sequence star, we wouldn't be around to be asking the question.
Naturalism challenged the idea of social Darwinism by highlighting that not all individuals have an equal opportunity to succeed due to factors outside of their control, such as environment, genetics, and social circumstances. Naturalism emphasized the role of these external factors in shaping an individual's destiny, as opposed to social Darwinism's focus on innate superiority and survival of the fittest.

An anthropic coincidence is a coincidence in the known physical constraints within this world, the result of which means that life without it would be impossible.
