But what if I take them out? <How many of the gods at the hundred percentile of leftist righteousness on this board wouldn't take him out if they could?> Fortunately, they remove themselves, thereby saving me the trouble and ethical dilemma. In case they don't volunteer for a Darwin Award, they are selected by intelligent women for elimination through their eugenics programmes.

Nature will not be denied. We didn't get to walk on our hind legs and learn how to count, read and think by staying entirely like monkeys. It's a gradual process taking decades, centuries, and millennia but that's pretty quick in geological time, though slow by biological time, so the process seems more benign than it really is. It's actually viciously merciless, relentless and inevitable and fairly fast.

In fact, the process is now going an order of magnitude faster than ever before with 7 billion people now in the process of being winnowed compared with only a billion at the end of the Little Ice Age and only 100 million when the Roman Empire was a big deal.



People mistakenly think human evolution is slow, but it isn't. People are very different from 10,000 years ago and even 2000 years ago. Even 1000 years ago they were quite different. In just 100 years the Flynn Effect has shown major intelligence improvement around the world. Stupidity is not selected. Intelligence is. None of us want less intelligence, though you might not think that from attendances at the local boozer. Women are noted for wanting intelligent men and wives are frequently less than obsequiously admiring of the intelligence of their husband, even if he's sober, as many husbands can attest.

In fact evolution is so rapid that it's only 30,000 years ago that an African bloke left Africa to father all non-Africans. It was only 90,000 years ago that an African woman left Africa and mothered all non-Africans. Blue eyes were invented in Iran only 8,000 years ago: <According to a team of researchers from Copenhagen University, a single mutation which arose as recently as 6-10,000 years ago was responsible for all the blue-eyed people alive on Earth today.The team, whose research is published in the journal Human Genetics, identified a single mutation in a gene called OCA2, which arose by chance somewhere around the northwest coasts of the Black Sea in one single individual, about 8,000 years ago.

We are getting about equal to all non-African evolution, being 30,000 years worth, in about a single century because it's a numbers game and the number of people is now huge compared with historical numbers.
