Not Darwins just evolution. Evolution doesn’t control anything, it just is. This I just as dub as saying gravity won’t control humans because we can fly. It’s still there even if humans fight against it.
Every living is “controlled” by evolution. Adding in gene therapy or artificial selection does not mean evolution goes away
I think there’s sometimes a misunderstanding of how evolution works and also how long it takes. I’m a dentist and people sometimes ask me if we are going to evolve out of having wisdom teeth. The question kind of takes me aback because…lots and lots of people have to die of wisdom tooth infections in order to evolve away from having wisdom teeth.
Yes and no. The selective pressure matters. If the teeth are no longer advantageous they will disappear over a longer time. Think of cave fish that loose their eyes. Eyes are not useful in a cave, and they require extra energy to make and maintain. It’s low selective pressure.
If the teeth were very disadvantageous, and causeing death,they would disappear much quicker. Think of island animals, typically large animals get much smaller than their mainland counterparts. There is less food available for their size. The smaller individuals don’t starve. High selective pressure, happens much faster.People could just start finding a natural lack of wisdom teeth particularly attractive. Sexual selection can cause evolution too. Mind you it would also go very poorly socially
First date conversations. “So….did you have wisdom teeth? No? Let’s breed.”
Personally, I think it sounds like a random note you find in a resident evil game, or something on a terminal in a vault in fallout
He better keep his head down, a Demon Cyborg will level his House of Evolution.
I wouldn’t mind him destroying my house

Haven’t we been fighting against Darwinian evolution for a while now? I should be dead if it depended on my shitty body.
Don’t sell yourself short! No other animal has anything close to your capacity for understanding the many things wrong with your body.
Things were so much easier before this Darwin guy invented evolution.
I bet this guy wouldn’t even get the boss music. Just the regular encounter music.
Is that supposed to be an insult? Golbat I would understand. You gotta be a decent person to have a Crobat.
It’s simply a matter of what genes get passed on. That still applies even with gene editing.
It’s even worse then that. There are many forms of evolution beyond just evolution via natural selection and genetic mutation. Evolution simply means that by some mechanism, certain traits propagate and some die out. But this applies to things like religions, technologies, beliefs, styles, etc. It’s no coincidence the largest religions on the planet have doctrines telling people to spread the religion. Religions that stay local and don’t have a drive to spread die out with time.
Said specifically ‘Darwin’s’.
Crobat beat Super Kaizo. He’s no chump.
Nah, Crobat is legit good. More like a Golbat.
