Got to agree with this. Not much has been debunked from what I've skimmed through of this so I'll give up with this instalment. @samminator, you might benefit by taking a look at Richard Dawkins' The Extended Phenotype. Technological advances / political ideologies etc may allow more of the 'unfit' to survive (and even thrive) but if the poor can 'breed like rabbits' as they're often accused of being able to, then there's a fair argument that it is them who are indeed the fittest and not the sexless types who can do quantum mechanics in their heads but who struggle where their libido is concerned. Evolution does not necessarily result in more 'advanced' forms. It just tends towards those most suited to surviving getting round to passing on their genes at an increased rate compared to those not as well suited. Hence, there are still lots of 'simple' organisms.
