No thinking or deciding is involved, and as the process continues, it is not possible to regard any of its outcomes as mistakes. Some changes work - and survive, some don't, and don't. If you see what I mean. Cheers, Tim |

Science and Medicine have helped mankind's 'evolution' to go beyond the norm - The rich 'evolve' and the poor dumb down deeper - the lone persistence of man's better Gene went out the window with the last industrial revolution.. And Man's pervasive aggression and greed ensure that wildlife has very little chance of evolving. Evolution does not exist any more - Man evolves according to his wealth, while rapidly ensuring his premature demise - preceded by our animals...While generalising, I tend to agree with Roger. Sorry.. Joe

![]() 1779 forum posts 1 photos | The actions of man, including Science & Medicine, are just aspects of evolution. They might not lead to 'good' results, but that, exactly, is how evolution works. We can mess with it, sometimes to change it for our good, and (more often) for the worse, but it is still evolution. Nothing else can have an effect on the development of life forms. Tim |
