So yes, Evolution invented the brain that invented condoms, and if Evolution had any foresight it would have certainly taken steps to ensure that the brain never even thought of the idea of a condom; but Evolution has no foresight, not even the smallest speck of it, Evolution doesn't have the concept of one step backwards and 2 steps forward, it is only interested in things that improve reproductive success *right now*. > > The condom is just a recent change in reproductive strategies.

Inventing condoms was not the reason Evolution invented brains, and I realize that neither Evolution nor my genes would like that invention (and I also realize I'm using anthropomorphic language) because to them the only important thing in life is to get as many genes into the next generation as possible. But I am not Evolution nor am I my genes so I don't care, Evolution and my genes have their opinion and I have mine.
