The Human species will eventually come to the conclusion that their fate will be decided on how well our intelligence evolves. I am surprised it hasn’t been discussed seriously in main stream scientific circles thus far. The idea of controlling a societies reproductive rights are not that far from any other right we give up daily in the name of saving humans from themselves or our own ignorance. Natural selection has been circumvented through our advances in technology and medicine and we have come to the point where any human can survive to a reproductive age unintentionally compromising the gene pool. I suggest this scenario could border on devolution, taking the species into an unforeseen catastrophe.
Natural selection is still alive and well in our subconscious primal minds.Humans are still attracted to physical features that imply strength or childbearing qualities for survival. The problem is that it’s no longer a viable solution to our future in this advanced world. Our environment has outpaced our ability to change that deep seeded instinct.
China has already had the foresight to control their own population growth rate through various means. There is no doubt China will begin some experimenting with accelerated evolution if not already begun behind the curtain. Slowly implementing a series of controls to affect the societies generational intelligence levels through controlled selection would be the next logical step. Standards would be set for the right to reproduce and how many allowed for each family. These standards would have certain effects on that society that will have nothing to do with genetics. Humans overwhelming need and desire to procreate will focus more on success through those means. Forcing a change in selection and perceived attractive qualities. This will take any society centuries ahead of the world’s population in very dramatic forms. The unintended consequences will remain to be seen.
