Neolib, I should have added that small or isolated populations, high reproduction rates and high selective pressure (high mortality prior to reproduction)is what lets a genetic system evolve. Humans are currently just expanding, not evolving. In fact, the last few hundred years have started to wipe out a lot of racially evolved differences, so I'd say on the mean we are devolving to a common core rather than evolving.

Maybe there's more at work than just evolution? For example, what Darwinian justification is there for charities that cater to the mentally retarded?
