not sure if your making a joke. No go get some mental help. I have had this convo with a few ppl. We are the one species that does not have survival of the fittest and it will weaken our species over time.
Brownslave688 - While your opinion is certainly shared by others, IMHO....it is lacking in substance considering the complexities of human biology, cell mitosis, meiosis, etc.. You of all people should have a greater sense of the variability that can occur in the human species considering your wife's career in the medical field.
I can understand why you may initially feel uncomfortable with transgender issues, however........ I cannot understand why you choose to close your mind to learning about other genetic variations that do occur in life. Genetic variability is the key to the survival of life. I'm not going to get into creation vs. evolution because I personally believe that God (the great force that we do not yet fully understand) created the inevitable forces that are associated with the changes of evolution.
Genetic variability does not weaken a species over time.....:
Genetic variation occurs mainly through DNA mutation , gene flow (movement of genes from one population to another) and sexual reproduction. Due to the fact that environments are unstable, populations that are genetically variable will be able to adapt to changing situations better than those that do not contain genetic variation.
Also....your statement "We are the one species that does not have survival of the fittest" , As a biologist/ecologist, I must respectfully disagree with you. On the surface.....I do understand why you may believe that the human population is not subject the the philosophy of "survival of the fittest". However, expanding your thinking one level higher, you will begin to see that we as a human race are subject to the general rules of population ecology.
We are permitting our planet to become over populated with humans. More people......less jobs......less resources...general decline in social standards....increased crime... etc.. Basically, the "writing is on the wall" on what the future holds for the human species unless politically unpopular decisions are made about population control. If we don't control populations......I can promise you that ...."God" will. The "fittest" will be those that are in the best position to survive during very difficult times associated with extreme poverty which is often disease, lethal crimes, etc.. In other words....those that have the "Gold" will rule and will be in the best position to insure that their gene pool survives.
