Geneticist Claims Human Evolution Is Over
GogglesPisano writes "UK geneticist Steve Jones gave a presentation entitled Human Evolution Is Over. He asserts that human beings have stopped evolving because modern social customs have lowered the age at which human males have offspring, which results in fewer of the mutations necessary to drive evolutionary change. Apparently the fate of our species now depends upon older guys hooking up with younger woman. I, for one, welcome this development."
people "with low IQ" are breeding more than smart people
...Oh, I don't know, I think there's also a lot to be said about occupied people having less children than unoccupied people.
My theory is that evolution will never, ever stop! It will just change direction. A lot of different directions. Strength, faster, slower, dumber, smarter and resistance to disease will be more varied. In the end, I would prefer a young woman, or slightly older woman... or any woman.
