We think the claim: "evolution has ceased", was merely an empty science fraud - maybe to please the richest, greediest 2% of the world - and is easily disproved.
How?
Here's some obvious proof:-
i) - continuing evolution as result of continued environmental change: increasing day length;
link01
young and elderly humans have primitive "short day" sleep patterns. Even average adults struggle to synchronize with our ever-lengthening day. Because evolutionary processes are slow! We've only recently adapted to the day-length of perhaps half a million years ago; link02
that particular environmental change - of day length - is continuing link03, therefore that evolutionary process must also continue;
ii) - other changes are happening to our socio-sexual link04 responses: e.g - would our great-great-great-grandparents find today's social environment comfortable? - Or even bearable?
iii) - no organism can consciously `choose' whether change will affect it; link05
iv) - therefore humans still evolve, and logically those processes must continue - as long as there is any environmental change, social or otherwise - that is, as long as life exists;
v) - as in thermodynamics, evolution cannot `cease' until humans are in equilibrium with their total environment - and that requires stasis: impossible in a material universe containing any life. link06
Theses of fake `academics'
Academics, currying favour with elites, said "Survival of the Fittest" gives advantage to - and therefore justifies - the greedy and ruthless elites of this world. This concept is often called "Social Darwinism" link07
From :Stephen Jay Gould's "Chance Riches"
- Natural History Magazine]
"Techniques for measuring the amount of genetic variation in natural populations have been available only for the past fifteen years. Their first and primary result came as a surpise to many geneticists: most populations maintain too much variation to support the ususal claim that all genes are scutinized by natural selection"
That is, Darwinian "natural selection" was not the sole medium or arbiter of humanity's past and future evolution.
So what is? - Check "Altruist Survivor" genes1.html thru genes8b;
note -for overview & forecasts genes8a;
and maybe RETRIBUTION series for serious consequences of arrogance - and over-confidence in `scientists'.
You can see the fake academics' ignore facts. For instance, car drivers kill ordinary children 500% more often in Britain, while the elite are protected. That is, offspring of rich people are five times more sheltered than the rest of the population's children - 29 February 2000:- BBC.
That is a direct evolutionary pressure. An example of indirect or secondary evolutionary pressures is the invention of the bicycle (and later air travel) affecting not `survival to mating' but the geographical location, and therefore the genetic diversity, of potential mates - a vitally important factor described by H.G Wells, and coincidentally, recently by a Professor Jones.
Such factors impact fully on working populations and the poor - while affluent / elite are shielded or unaffected. You can search for "mobility" / "poverty" / "deathrate" etc - there's a typical example at evol2. These are evolutionary pressures, and there are lots of them, most not even identified yet.
Long-term evolutionary consequences are outlined in the "Altruist Survivor" principle
link08 and should be obvious, even to learned professors.
The elite's academics are now in a quandary. They could stick with "Survival of the Fittest" admitting that selfish elites cause poverty, malnutrition and death of ordinary people while ensuring protection and privilege to the elite - as happens even in the West.
The academics would then have to forecast that all humanity was becoming more greedy, selfish and ruthless. For that would be the expected outcome of the simplistic "Survival of the Fittest" thesis of social Darwinists'. link07
However, it can be seen that - due to evolutionary pressures - humanity is continuing to evolve towards co-operation and even altruism. [More evidence at "Violence"]
Now the academics' latest ploy is to say that "Evolution has ceased" - claiming that the affluent West gives equal `survival to mating' - although that claim is clearly untrue - see all above.
[ `Survival to mating' is now claimed - by fake academics - as sole evolutionary mechanism ]
Both theses are rubbish, shown by all above and by Altruist Survvivor and links.
Ongoing evolution shapes our reactions to life's problems: situations.
We know, if only instinctively, that life's results - evolution - depend on many outcomes of the ways we choose to live our lives.
Situations
1) mating choices - which themselves derive from many factors: what part of society we live in and feel at home in; what groups we move in and feel at home with; what levels of income we feel we need or can abandon;
2) life opportunities, interwoven with mating choices - which derive from family wealth, privilege, education and any traits of greed or ruthlessness;
3) genetic inheritance - again interwoven with 1) and 2); a descendant of an earlier elite is more likely to have negative genetic traits - seen as physical or intellectual `ugliness' (see below);
4) serendipities - chance mutations, chance adaptations [as we saw above, most actual evolutionary changes are due to chance ("contingency" - Gould) or to social pressures].
Horace - "Wisely, God hides future outcomes in a mist of night" - Odes
Outcomes
Reasons why 'situations' produce similar outcomes - tending towards the evolution of Altruist Survivors:-
In more corrupt, less `evolved', societies elites separate themselves from the rest of us by barriers that they call 'class', 'caste', 'race' - all equally false distinctions generated by selfish elitism, since all humans belong to the same species; link9 & link10
the children of the elite go to elite schools and meet only other elite children on equal grounds. Thus elite mating tends to be within that elite;
the education system gives high (unearned) grades to the elite link11 while marking down the more intelligent non-elite;
the elite then unfairly steal - by market rigging and by pollution of our environments
link12 - from the rest of humanity, who are also much more heavily taxed; link13
honest, intelligent link14 humans never get to compete on equal terms with corrupt elites;
elites are then more protected - from infection and accident - by preferential medical and policing services. Elites are more able to afford medical intervention;
link15
elites therefore become incompetent, greedy, and ruthless: see evidence & Academic Fools & Authority & Answers.
Elites' choices in breeding means that elites tend to mate within smaller - more privileged - gene pools. This produces unattractive and negative genetic traits in their descendants. (see all above).
Elites' choices of financial, physical and medical privilege means that elites tend not to face adversity on equal terms with the rest of us. This also produces unattractive and negative traits in their descendants. link16
In adversity - the general human gene pool evolves towards sharing, bravery and wisdom.
In privilege - elite's gene pools degenerates into greed, cowardliness and incompetence, producing intellectual and physical ugliness in offspring.
[*Later - adversity v. privilege in Britain today. - link17]
Results:-
ongoing extinctions of elites link18
ongoing evolution of humanity
link19
From philosopher George Carlin:
"You never see a 'SHIT HAPPENS' bumper sticker on a Rolls Royce"
So that a few can have privilege - a billion are starved and billions more are oppressed; even though the world has food enough and space enough for all.
This is needful. We must be perpetually reminded of the greed and brutality of the selfish few - to know them for what they are.
Real humans do not then choose to live with them or mate with them.
So the greedy (and brutal) tend always to mate within their elites, becoming colder and uglier, on the road to extinction.
