Not only on "survival of the fittest"; evolution also supposes that species change more-or-less randomly.
TBH, I'm not sure what your point is; my point was that whatever evolution is based on, evolution happens, and on these timescales it happens in the blink of an eye.
- TremendousJudge 4y agoNo, individual mutations are random. Selection of the mutations in the gene pool happens through environmental constraints. Species don't change randomly, they change in an infinite optimization search for fitness. We humans aren't immune to this just because we have culture and medicine of course.
- denton-scratch 4y agoYes, that's more accurate.
