If evolution is based on Darwins Natural Selection theory, that the strongest or most adapt, survive better than others, is to be held true, then surely in modern society we have an almost negative natural selection process, as the fittest, strongest, cleaverest or most adapt to survive are no longer becoming dominant and having more offspring. In fact those people probably have good jobs and big careers and are probably less likely to have children at all. So do we find the people who are having more children are lower classes, who if anything probably are the weakest, less educated, those maybe less adapt to cope with the vigours of life today. Obivously there's lots of other factors effecting education, class and upbringing and I'm generalising massively.
But generally, we no longer cull the weakest from the herd, but actually do what we can to helping them survive.
Are the differences so small that we will just no longer evolve or will we just gradually negatively evolve?
