Not sure about that. There are known genetic influences for risk aversion. If risk averse folks wear masks, and suffer less/survive more, then this potentially could be an evolutionary mechanism.
- fancyfredbot 6y agoYes, but risk aversion has implications on things other than mask wearing. It's pretty unclear that risk aversion will be selected for because of the pandemic. The least risk averse are probably more likely to find a partner this year for example. Plausibly risk aversion might even be selected against!
