re: #222 FFL (GOP Delenda Est)

If it tends to ossify that way after the people have reproduced it’s not an anti-evolutionary trait.

And from a social/community level such stubbornness can potentially carry some survival benefit for a village or tribe. (Not quite sure what that would be, but fanaticism can sometimes carry one through a crisis.)

When our survival depended on sticking together and working together through a basic crisis like predation by cave bears, a cold winter or a food shortage, then yes.

As for our long-term survival, it is a less beneficial trait.
