They say it's all fitness and adaptation etc but why would a baby shit its pants. Or mental disorders. Infanticide. Etc
Doesnt add up


the low end doesn't matter. For example, many species of fish lay thousands of eggs and the majority of them never go on to reproduce themselves.

Humans are subject to the same process but to a smaller degree. The bottom end of a generation is going to get thinned out anyway as there was never enough resources to keep everyone alive (until recently of course)

If humans are going to throw out a baby as soon as they see it's a dwarf, then they will just put their limited food towards feeding a different mouth. Natural selection has no incentive to end dwarfism. Only the survivors affect the process of evolution.

Natural selection has no incentive for anything!!! Incentive requires agency !!!! Dwarf humans will be killed and not bred with so there is in fact "incentive" against dwarfism !!! None of it makes sense d it is unfalsifiable . Jesus christ is the answer

But there's no incentive against being a carrier of the recessive allele. That's why in modern society (where we disregard fitness and everyone gets to live) it makes sense that we sill see cases of that recessive allele presenting.

Let's say a primitive woman has 13 kids and 3 of them go on to reproduce. In that case, it doesn't make much a difference whether the 13th fittest kid was a dwarf or whether he was normal, but just slightly inferior to his his siblings. The low end of the scales gets cut out just the same.

The 3 kids that reproduce don't get punished for carrying the recessive allele. In fact, they actually see a benefit. It means that they get a bigger share of the remaining food.

Everyone being genetic equals would lend itself towards reproductive parity, which is the enemy of evolution. Evolution thrives on a system where "the rich get richer".

Mental disorders are nothing more than a big fat "fuck you" towards people who believe that humankind is some sort of pinnacle of evolution. We are not the best it can get; we aren't even the best it has gotten so far.

U guys are going for the low hanging fruit mental disorders disease etc is much more damni to thebevokution hypothesis there is no reason for it for survivial



Mentally ill and diseased people don’t get to pass on their genes as often as sane and healthy people.

Bad luck with mutations happen but they don’t set an evolutionary trend.
