do you think homelessness and poverty can be explained by natural selection?

Question

for that matter, is the fact that we are finding cures for all these genetic diseases actually making us more susceptable to them. typically if a species has a negative genetic mutation it would be eliminated over time through natural selection. it seems like we are actually making us sicker by curing people. im not saying dont help sick people. i have a crohns disease which is a chronic genetic disorder. it was just a thought ive had.

Answer 1

Natural selection can't even explain evolution (paleontologic record shows fast change followed by long term steady state) plus it is a weak process that can be easily trumped by such things as over population and economic system. No.

Answer 2

Africa as a self contained continent became doing extremely nicely till Europeans discovered it, the comparable may well be mentioned for Australia and Western united statesa.. the theory distinction is we suppressed then annihilated the indigenous populations in the latter 2 because of the fact the land became nicely worth stealing. Africa regrettably did no longer come as much as colonisation so that is been systematically asset stripped instead. practically all the inhabitants became nomadic and tribal wars coupled with available meals controlled numbers. We destroyed that by way of shifting human beings into cities. The classic human reaction to poverty is to reproduce in adequate numbers to guarantee survival - that's a base instinct. birth control in Africa isn't possibly whilst the Catholic Church has a controlling pastime, yet who's to declare plan B wasn't the creation of help's?

Answer 3

To your first question, no. There are plenty of strong, intelligent people who have been put out of their jobs by greedy corporations who cut back to skeleton forces because the billions they were making just wasn't enough for them.

As far as cures making us more susceptible, I doubt it. Of course, the genetic weapons they were trying to create when they ran across the cures probably didn't do us much good. You have to understand that the elite's idea of natural selection means that if you didn't inherit millions or billions of dollars, you are insignificant and unimportant and are considered a lower lifeform.

Answer 4

No, poverty and homelessness are related to our societal hierarchies and have little to do with an individual's actual evolutionary fitness. I agree that humans are continuously evolving; however, I don't know if the foundations and principles of evolutionary theory are complex enough to "explain" or describe the human condition in sufficient detail to include the constructs of poverty and homelessness
