We done gone and derailed the whole evolution thing.Is human rights legislation holding back our Darwinian advancement?

Is human rights legislation holding back our Darwinian advancement?Natural selection isn't "advancement" -- it's just change. It takes humans to assign a "value" to that change as to whether it's an "advance" or not.Humans have blunted natural selection in a number of ways -- medicine, for example. Doing so isn't necessarily good or bad, advancing or declining. And since the concept of equal rights in a society has demonstrable benefits no matter what it does/doesn't do to natural selection, it's a reasonable thing to do period.
Peace.
That is a very interesting question and one to which we will not know the ultimate answer for a long time. But, yes we can ensure that weak genes survive. We can influence and manipulate evolution. Whether it is to the ultimate benefit of the planet or not depends on our ability to control ourselves. Something we are not always good at doing as a species.Is human rights legislation holding back our Darwinian advancement?Easily. You're making the probably deliberate attempt to confuse eugenics and natural selection. Being weak does not mean that you are ill suited in a biological sense to your environment.
In any case, evolution is not advancement. It's change, with no goal in sight.Is human rights legislation holding back our Darwinian advancement?
Humans are evolving; the average brain size has dwindled by 20% since the stone age. However, so long as our technology allows us to survive in the most extreme situations it's unlikely we'll change very much. Perhaps, in the distant future, if we colonize other worlds or if we survive a near extinction event, we'll begin to have more dramatic changes again. It is much more likely that we'll begin to merge with our technology, though, and humans will augment themselves rather than waiting for nature to do it for them.
Darwinian Evolution has nothing to do with the advancement of human rights in society. We become a more robust society if we can take care of all humans. In the end, the entire human race won the survival of the fittest.Is human rights legislation holding back our Darwinian advancement?
Actually no, genetic diversity is vital for the advancement which comes when selection comes into play, under whatever unpredictable circumstances it may do so. Remember blind white cave fish are the products of evolutionary selection.
Of course.
We should withdraw all medicine and medical services on the grounds that both are anti evolutionary.
And human rights legislation as well.
I don't think you quite understand evolution, protecting the weak is good socially and we have survived by evolving into social animals.
Human rights legislation is a good part of our advancement as a moral species.
Evolution is simply an explanation of how certain things happen. It's not a creed or a dogma that must be adhered to.
"our"
who are you ? and what is "darwinian advancement"??
You don't understand evolution, I suggest you learn why so called social 'Darwinism' is a load of nonsense.
That is not what evolution states or charles darwin for that matter.
How can you advance as a species of leprechaun while wearing a condom on your head?
Don't worry we won't leave you behind. Perhaps Dreamstuff Entity can be your protection.
*noms the Cream Puff*
Hows that for natural selection?
