That's culture, not evolution. It's absolutely natural (in every sense of the word) and there are biological components.
Outside of that, though, there is also physical natural selection that occurs. Human "hardware" is evolving along with the "software".
- kaba0 4y agoThat argument will quickly devolve into just https://xkcd.com/435/ https://xkcd.com/435/ , though. But the point is, evolution is not a “thing”, it is an observation explained by selection pressures, an emergent property if you will. The characteristics/statistics for people are way different than any other wild animal, so I think it is fair to attribute that to society vs nature.
