You really think humans haven’t interrupted the whole survival of the fittest part of natural selection when it comes to actual humans? The premise of natural selection is that it’s left up to nature, and humans have been doing some very unnatural things in modern history, don’t you think?

Then you assume humans are artificial? What is interesting natural selection is alive and well if looked at including humans. Norway rats, pigs, House Sparrows, pigeons, European Starlings, many insects, weeds. Have all adapted to humans and have actually used humans to expand territory. One could argue this natural, but humans are part of the environment, like it or not.

There are many humans who are in fact made of artificial pieces. That is a perfect example of circumventing natural selection.

Who thought up the artificial piece? Plus the comment was a comparison of humans and other animals, but not considering humans. If animal learns to use a tool and teaches it to the family group, is that not natural selection. Need to consider the sphere of influence, many forget to include the impact of humans.

Apparently, one or both of us has lost the point. Either way, happy holidays and happy new year.
