I believe we each evolve differently but we are at a constant evolution, one goes through struggle and overcomes and then is changed therefore that is evolution right?
lamarckism...

Well I kind of worded this wierd but what i ment was,
We rely so much on tools - we are loosing some of our biological adaptations such as basic instincts and stuff. Think about it like this. If all of a sudden humans had to go back to living like cavemen - do you think everyone would survive? Be able to catch their own food and live in the climate without dieing - Most peolple wouldnt even know where to begin.
Thats what i mean by "de-evolving" from a biological stand point
-Ps, i dont care about anyone who rages this - that just means you are to closed minded to take into consideration what other people think.
de-evolving is actually evolution... an example would be to look at endosymbionts, they lose shit they dont need any more because of the symbiosis- requiring less energy.
also dont think we lost our instincts rather the knowledge of hunting etc are not passed on/taught any more.

Smart people have 2-3 kids, while any Chinese has 10+
Evolution has gone to hell!
its about reproductive success and not necessarily how many offspring one person has
