Tim, I am going to guess right now that there are more people dying today before the age of 30 than at any time in human history. Perhaps but there is a much lower percentage. If your argument is that there are more people so more oportunity for mutation and selection of all forms I guess I buy that but that wouldn't contradict what I said just show that there is a bigger factor working in the other direction. As you say, being sexually selected OUT is also a BIG driver [maybe the biggest]. I'm not sure its that much bigger. Most people still have kids and most of those who don't choose not to have them. Also there are infertile people who aren't actualy pushed out by sexual seletion but rather infertitlity. Tim
