re: #560 jaunte

Charles, I gave you evidence. Anal intercourse, abortion, altruism, or beastiality. All are things that need to be ruthlessly weeded out by natural selection but have not been. Why? Because human life is nothing like the life of a bacterium or a weasel (unless you are leftist). Natural selection doesn’t really apply to humans. It why we do not go around seeking to impregnate women with each sexual act and eat all we can and fight for territory. The very notion of property is anti-Darwin.

jaunte, Darwin never had a theory of “species advantage”. It was the reproduction of individuals with specific variations that leads to energizes the process of natural selection. Nothing in ANY Darwinian or neo-Darwinian literature explains, for example, the Catholic nun who has given up breeding for herself yet aids in birthing other people’s babies.
