According to the theory of evolution, the only bearing that environment has on the matter is in providing a context in which the viability of mutations is tested. If a trait tends to make a species or subspecies less able to flourish within an environment, it either limits the population size of carriers of the trait, or the trait dies out. The traits that arise occur over long periods of time. Thus, evolution is presumed to have little effect on changes within a population in historic time. To put it another way, it is unlikely that there is any significant genetic difference between Englishmen under feudalism and Englishmen under a democratic regime. Thus, there is unlikely to be a genetic basis for the historic change.

There is more to observe, but I think I will take it a little at a time........
