Okay, i have been wandering around with this topic for a few weeks now and i'm ready to post it .
Evolution is something that exists out of mutation and "the strongest survive", the strongest survives and his/her children will (most likely) get a kind of mutation, and if that generation is still as strong or maybe even stronger than their previous generation they survive and create the next generation and so forth.
But...
BUtt...
BUTTTTTTTTT (no not a ass but but a but but)
What will happen to human kind if we keep helping people who cannot survive on their own in this hard economy because of a mutation who is wrong, who makes them limited and stupid.
Will human mankind get more intelligent?, are we going to elvole from a pickachu to a raichu,
Or will we die in the bitter end because of over-population.
yes actually.. it will slow down evolution.. it is what I believe.. but think.. in terms of intelligence , in 19 century most peasants did not bathe for a week, most were illiterate.. In 20th century the developed nations have a high literacy rate and though the benchmark maybe low in general people have to use more brains..
but in physical evolution.. well have you not noticed that many people these days have 28 teeth rather than 32?
or
tourists from developed countries have to drink mineral water when they visit India, whereas the local crowd does not?
In a way you guys have a way lower immune system when compared to ours. Think about long term consequences
These days people use antibiotics when hit with mildest of fevers or cold and everyday the parasites develop immunity towards them.. it is just because the researchers who are able to create new drugs that we are safe.
The first antibiotic penicillin is useless now and not used... whereas we still need antibiotic against the same bacteria we needed penicillin for. but the same bacteria evolved against penicillin.
We have become too unnatural and I believe that natural selection is no more the criteria..
When the genetic modification tech comes out for all to use and develops itself then people will have "engineered" or "manufactured" babies with superior intellect and less flaws.. that throws "evolution" out of the window.
