Yeah, this guy's an assclown. Not only do lower income families (in the west, which is clearly what he's basing his 'hypothesis' on) have far more children on average, he's also forgetting that every couple generations or so, some country or another has a revolution where the have-nots oust the haves and replace them, thus switching the genetic pools.

Also, what is attractive now was not attractive even 30 or 40 years ago. Try finding a hair-chested man without a shirt on MTV. Try finding a woman over 115 lbs for that matter. 200 years ago it was more attractive to be fluffy and pale, and now the reverse is true.

And finally, last but definitely not least, is the gross (yet very common) misinterpretation of Darwin. Traits that develop are not what WE might view as advantageous, we don't get to choose. Traits that are developed are ones that make a species better suited to an environment. Just watch the latest horror flick to see this. Who's always the first to go? The blond with enormous breasts.

Sidenote: Does a scientist/philosopher with otherwise impressive credentials lose all his credibility when he poses a ridiculous idea such as this one, or the fellow who said blacks are inferior in the other thread? I think so.

Related healthcare humor:

Subject: The Redhead

A young redhead goes into the doctor's office and says that her body
hurts wherever she touches it.

"Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me."

She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony.

She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams.

Everywhere she touches makes her scream.

The doctor says, "You're not really a redhead are you?"

"No," she says. "I'm actually a blonde."

"I thought so," the doctor says. "Your finger is broken."

Why only two different types? Each supgroup could be a new animal , and then we would kill each other out...more so anyway

Men will have symmetrical facial features, deeper voices and bigger penises, according to Curry in a report commissioned for men's satellite TV channel Bravo.

Women will all have glossy hair, smooth hairless skin, large eyes and pert breasts, according to Curry.
So, we're all turning into anime?

My theory: hermaphrodites. One day, we'll all have the best of both worlds. That way one can impregnate oneself, thus ensuring one's good genes continue on without taking the chance of being polluted by another's.


What? I'm not as credible as this guy???
