If I remember rightly from what I was taught less than a year ago ... and I'm sure I do then evolution basically revolves around survival of the fittest.
Or survivial of those best suited to a change in the environment or something.
But that just doesn't happen anymore.
For a lot of reasons.
If someone's weak, you don't just leave them to die. They just get beaten up in school during the day, then come home and get fixed up.
It's called medicine.
Someone gets ill, we make them better, so everyone survives - not just the fittest.
And we'll never be forced into evolution by a change in the environment, or a new species being introduced to kill us all.
Because we've got technology to change the root of the problem, we don't change ourselves to suit problem.
The only way we'd evolve from now on it for purposes of fun.
Like, I want a tail.
And, I want more legs.
Although that's obviously not going to happen. Because it takes a bit longer than that.
But you get what I mean - there's no longer any reason to evolve.
Talk amongst yourselves.

I want a blue whale penis.
No wait, I have one already.
I CRACK myself up.
*cracks* Ack, my face.

Is that tail on one hand, pincers on the other? That'd be odd. But excellent for multiple torture methods without calling Screwfix.
I want a monkey tail and some crab pincers instead of my hands.

And? Doesn't stop there being a bug that could kill most of us off, leaving the few remaining to be the only allele selections left and therefore the human race changing from them and not as it would have.

We've exchanged "fittest" for "richest".

I don't think you're getting the hang of this evolution thing...

But there would be no super bugs with out technology in the first place, as soon as people started living in towns and houses, cramped, rat infested, etc, then desiese evolved.
Black Death (the plague)
Small Pocks
Measels. Etc
When ever we find a medicine to fight a bug then the bug evolves. But as we didnt and technology did, we cant fight the new bug off without even more technology.
Anyway.. I agree, we can never evolve from now, just think about the people in africa who live in poverty and starvation, without medicine and pitiful aid we send them, they would of died, and then we could focus on doing other things. I'm not saying that we should stop helping them, i am saying that we have got rid of 'survival of the fittest'.
We wont evolve, we will hit a point where our unevolved brains cant invent new technology to evolve for us, and then what? We die.

We wont evolve, we will hit a point where our unevolved brains cant invent new technology to evolve for us, and then what? We die.
But what about diseases? A superbug could wipe out most of the population in theory, causing a dramatic change in the allele frequencies.
Anyway it is about how, on a cold winters night, the salmons are curled up in their sandbanks nice and warm, the foxes are huddled together in their den sleeping comfortably, and the farmer and his wife and in their house with a big roaring fire, sweating and turning restlessly in their sleep.
Seemed significant. Shows how we havent evolved, we have changed our environment so we dont need to evolve.

It reminds me of a Ted Hughes poem I read, which I am trying to find now.
And also because we get technology to do our evolving for us.
Because it's about 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times quicker.
Like, we wanted to fly.
Instead of evolving wings, we invent the plane.
etc.
