| Medicine: Harmful to the human race?
The idea of natural selection is where a species slowly adapts as organisms with relatively bad genes die off as organisms with relatively good genes live and procreate, making more organisms with relatively good genes.
Now that we have medicine, people who are born sickly, lives long enough to procreate anyways as they won't die off very easily. Evolutionarily, that's bad. That would slow the evolution of humans, since bad genes would still be around, with medicines constantly being discovered to help them stay alive.
Any thoughts? |
