modern medicine vs evolution
i wonder what aspects of the evolution of human anatomy or physiology are being slowed by the fact that we screw natural selection. let's think about this one...
from my brief research i found that globally heart disease is the leading cause of death. my assumption is that those with tiny genetic advantages relating to the fight against heart disease would eventually become prominent in the human gene pool.
i would bet that the human cardiovascular system would be at the top of the list for systems to benefit from evolution. our body might develop a chemical or WBC of some sort to help remove vessel obstructions/cholesterol buildup or to protect the heart/brain from thrombuses (loose clots floating in blood stream).
this is interesting... if we really became a darwinian society and truly let it be survival of the fittest, my mind can only imagine how amazing the human race could become in regards to intelligence, physical capability, etc. The gene pool would continue to be filtered of "impurities" and "lesser genes" and only "the most fit" would survive to procreate with "the most fit."
please understand that this is theoretically speaking and not my personal belief that the weak should die... haha.. thanks!
