Robert,
Yes…Humans are no longer subject to the normal genetic screening processes. In many cases the least-fittest humans can propagate as much as anyone. It seems the struggle is changing to the situation where we somehow force our environment to adapt to us. We will fail, of course. Elon Musk can’t even build a decent electric truck, let alo…

There are all kinds of people who shouldn’t be here if Mother Nature had anything to do with it. For humans, it’s not so much survival of the fittest, it’s the survival of the most cooperative. That’s why young children are born knowing how to cooperate.

How long before we wipe ourselves out?

Yes, millions of years of evolution have resulted in … me. How did that happen?

Ancient human evolution is “unparalleled” in nature.
I too have read it was climate change that drove the evolution of new human species, because it opened up new niches. Every new niche means a new species. But

Reg,
There’s “a realistic possibility” that insects, octopuses, crustaceans, fish and other overlooked animals experience consciousness.
I should say so. They all have eyes, antennae, feelers, and in the case of catfish, taste buds on the skin. Still looking for their Tigris-Euphrates, Alexandria, Wall Street, and Houston Launch Pad, though.
