Evolution

To me evolution seemed to occur out of necessity to adapt to onces habit – which is why there are many different breeds of the same animals with each slightly altered. Evolution usually brings with it improvement or adaption that makes the creature more capable of surviving.

I think we have fucked this up.

We have different races because of evolution. Each race must therefore be slightly different from each other and be more evolved in one aspect where the other is less. With travel now days we are no longer separated, with technology doing the hard work for us we no longer need to adapt to our surrounding, we make it adapt to us.

While we are the shit now how long will this last? We are stopping our own significant evolution by controlling our habitat. Our habitat use to control us.

Along with this we have probably undone many steps of evolution by interbreeding between races. While we all have our own strengths it is therefore possible that we all have our own weaknesses. It would be possible that because of this subsequent offspring could suffer from diseases or illnesses or anything really that had previously been fixed by one of the races itself.

And to further ad fuel to the fire evolution is also tagged with the fight or flight quote, so either we adapt or we die. Prehistorically people with disabilities or injuries or illnesses would have been left to die because their genes were looked at as being no good to mate with, but now with medicine and therapies and technology we no longer perceive this as the case as we have risen up our instinctual behavior because we have developed empathy. We are letting these genes now stay in our gene pool, making it harder and harder for us to streamline and improve what we currently have.

I'm not saying these things to exclude any races nor am i having a go at people with disabilities, merely i am making and observation of how i think evolution worked for us in the past and how it has been altered in this day and age.
