Edit: I'm downvoted but I'm curious why. It seems to me that modern medicine has eliminated large parts of natural selection for humans. Is that not the case?
- andrewflnr 6y agoPresumably your mental abilities have compensated for your physical issues, thus increasing your fitness. That's valid evolutionary logic as well.
- mcjkrw 6y agoI think it's about that the natural selection applies only to the current environment. We are not to be fit to live in caveman days, but in the modern society. If having a condition does not present an obstacle to navigate the world and mate, then it won't be selected against.
