Humanity may, in fact, be devolving, because we keep alive the
unfit and allow them to reproduce. The basis of evolution is,
after all, survival of the fittest.

So this is going to evolve into a eugenics thread, now?
No. I don't advocate eugenics. I'm just stating an observable fact,
that natural selection no longer applies to humans because we no longer
allow natural forces to select the fit. I'm not saying that we should
do so, or apply some sort of external selection.

Sorry, Bob, it was a joke. I would never accuse anyone here of being
interested in it.
