Recent Human Evolution May Have Been Driven By Self-Selection
Slur writes "The New York Times reports an insightful theory of Human evolution that gives credit for our accelerated evolution to the evolving brain. By virtue of our aesthetic and utilitarian preferences we ourselves have been responsible for molding the present human form and consciousness. Applied to other species we call it 'artificial selection,' but the new theory implies we did it all quite naturally, unconsciously, and that the exponential evolutionary acceleration we have achieved as a species in recent time is just what you'd expect. It also suggests that the current lull in our physical evolution is by 'choice' as well."
How many new species are there now?
God spoke to me.
...into a bunch of politically correct pussies who can't handle criticism, sarcasm, and the bacteria found on doorknobs. If we CAN impose artificial selection to counteract this mess of pussified people we've created, then for the love of God, do it!
we 'evolve' because yOUR creators designed us to do so. any other notion is misleading.
/.) continues to attempt to shed some light on yOUR foibles;
as is (misleading/deceptive) the corepirate nazis' attempt to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive.
we're intending for the nazis to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather'.

If the age limit to reproduce was pushed back every so many generations, conceivably we could be living much, much longer.
Thanks for demonstrating why eugenics is stupid. The only people who support it are ignorant clots who grasp at the first "it just makes sense" thought that drifts through their otherwise empty minds.
Humans live much, much longer than other mammals already. The average mammal lives a billion heartbeats. We live twice that. There is an obvious reason for this, which you are too stupid to figure out.
But it means that you're dealing with a population that is already very, very strongly selected for longevity. The odds of getting significantly longer lives from the eugenics program you propose are therefore very small. But such a program would certainly put morons like you in charge of everyone else's breeding decisions.
On the whole, I'll take my chances trusting those decisions to the intelligence of the average person over the intelligence of the kind of dimwit who thinks eugenics is a good idea.
My favorite people are White People. They are simply the best. Asians are mostly OK too. But Mexicans, Negroes, South Americans, Muslims, Arabs, Africans--they are all mud people, and of no interest to me.
