The author talks of evolution in terms of meaningful progress, what meaningful progress? It's just change and adaptation, eventually this primate race will die out or evolve into a dumber species. Eventually life on earth will return to simple life before the sun runs out. Meaningful progress!
- D_Alex 12y ago> into a dumber species Why necessarily dumber? I know that there is a trend for lower educated families to have more children, but also smart people tend to marry other smart people, so there is selection for intelligence at play. >evolve So over the next say 100 years, the contribution of Darwinian evolution to "evolution" of human species will be unnoticeably small, just as the contribution of technology will be larger than ever before.
