<<Studies on human DNA reveal that the entire human population was reduced to about 10,000 individuals approximately 100,000 years ago>>

That's interesting I wasn't aware.

<<Almost any characteristic that this "founder" population had would become the dominate characteristic of future generations>>

<<if he had a hare-lip, then it would become a mark of beauty to the great-great-grandchildren. >>

LOL.... Well I don't think so.......Unless his parents were attracted to one another because of the hair lip in the first place..... more likely in spite of it.

Also for the most part I don't think beauty is in the "eye of the beholder" but is an absolute in it's self........Blasphmemous bastard that I be.

If he were stupid would we all be such? Would this be a desired characteristic?

But for sure under your scenario evolution would continue in humans.But I still contend that without such a catastrophe we would see no change..... Unlike the previous 100,000 years which clearly have had substantial change without catastrophe.
