OK, I hope my question doesnāt get misunderstood, I can see how that could happen.
Just a product of overthinking.
Idea is that we can live fairly easily even with some diseases/disorders which could be-life threatening. Many of these are hereditary.
Since modern medicine increases our survival capabilities, the āweakerā individuals can also survive and have offsprings that could potentially inherit these weaknesses, and as this continues it could perhaps leave nearly all people suffering from such conditions further into future.
Does that sound like a realistic scenario? (Assuming we donāt destroy ourselves along with the environment firstā¦)
If genetic research gets to a point where we can beat any mutations, then probably not.
No. Human evolution is driven primarily by mate selection.
Sexual selection usually takes care of problems like this. People with antisocial tendencies find it extremely difficult to find partners.
I would say that the greater the population (in part thanks to medicine) the greater the chances of beneficial mutations occurring and entering the collective gene pool. I see medicine as a safety net. Iām sure itās more complicated than that, but thatās my professional take on it, as a musician.
I donāt think so.
For one, natural selection selects the āfittestā, but what the āfittestā means, changes over time.
Also, thereās lots of other factors that you may have overlooked, such as sexual selection probably playing a bigger factor.
