Yeah I think biologists look at it more as “survival of the adequate” these days as opposed to survival of the fittest, which is a theory that has been accused of being abused by Nazis and all sorts.
 

>From what I know evolution is speeding up as the human population increases (= more ramdon mutations per generation), the environment changes (more natural selection) and the environment could even be affecting evolution us directly in terms of shitty food and electromagnetic crap causing mutations directly. That may be more conspiracy theory, as I believe you can only pass on mutations if they affect sex genes.

 
Interesting science coming out about RNA nowadays, looking from what I remember reading about it that genetics as we know it is about a lot more than DNA…will have to fish that info out…

Hey!  Your last words reminded me of a Bill Hicks rant about the ignorant waiting for their opposable thumbs in the US;  intellectually I think we are in a PoMo netherworld.  Anyhoo, I don't think it would be a form of homo sapiens as we know them that would survive, but those that have inherited the genes to resist neoplasms from pesticides, nuclear activity, and rampant disease.  There are some who have been able to resist the HIV virus and its evolution into AIDS for almost two decades;  they are the minority.....but you see my point.  Our own bodies are already showing some evidence of that in this day and age.  It truly will be a " A New Day" (excuse the pun) we will never see in a thousand years or less.  Animals......well.....unless they are necessary they have no need to evolve.  Fluffy 3000 looking for those cockroaches doesn't have a place, as you stated. -Bette> Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 08:22:29 +0100> From: praest76 at gmail.com> To: gathering at misera.net> Subject: Re: [kj] OT: why I hate cats...> > On 09/04/2008, Jaye Royal <bloodstone3456 at hotmail.com> wrote:> >> >> > "It's coming kids.
