The human species has stopped moving towards improvement. I'm speaking specifically about evolution, natural selection, the improvement of the species and why it doesn't happen anymore. When humans stopped migrating, became agrarian and stangnant and had an abundace of food, we formed a society. It made perfect sense at the time, as most things do. As time went on, rulers, governments, trade all came and made the world stronger, and the human healthier, and society more permanent. All the time, the desire to reproduce with the best mate availible fell to a lower priority. The humans that reproduced most were those who enjoyed the act. This eventually made the vast majority of human beings enjoy sex. This, though good for the survival of the species in general, thanks to safety in numbers, was not good for the individual, who was no longer created from people who were beleived by eachother to be the best possible mates, they were created by two people who wanted to have sex. This has and is allowing negative traits to remain in the gene pool. Humans are essentially stagnating in an evolutionary sense.
