McReal, also correct, except that is what was happening up till the mid 1960's, evolution of our society/culture, then the loony left began promoting DE volution of our Society/culture/species.

AntiSeptic,

Speciation, in a macro-evolutionary sense, may be "a fairly trivial phenotypical expression" of the continuum that makes up biology, but it is *DNA*'s urge to reproduce, via its accomplice close-relative-RNA, that is significant. To laud "the gene" seems to be reductionist.

Populations and sub-populations reflect the frequencies of the various *alleles* that make up genes. Variations amongst individuals in a species are a function of allelic variation. Variations amongst generations of a species, as occurs with evolution, reflect changing allelic frequencies.

I do not subscribe to such explanations as being of much significant for evolutionary psychology, especially for changes in higher-order human thinking in recent millennia, so I ascribe to and commend more general application of critical thinking, especially diversity of collective, governing critical thinking, as outlined in this excellent article by Michael Paton.

It is applicaiton of some degree of that critical thinking that has dismantled the communism that FormerSnag remains immersed in and thus fogged by.

Mark Paton,

The more I read from Academics the more I advance toward the conviction that Universities are walled domains where perturbed gentry keep well away from the rigors of real life and conduce a discourse bound to be introspective and, terminally, inbred.

As a teenager I was told that wars are unavoidable. I took it to be the lie of that fascist hierarch who said it, and, for over seventy years, continued to believe that he would some day come to reason.

After many experiences save that of dying, I had to realize that war is not, as he said, unavoidable, but living is essentially a continuous war, with some brief truces necessary to contrive new motives for its continual.

I understand that war is not extraneous within Universities walls either, as papers coming from there do not exactly tell of serenity nor they smell of incense.

There is one question of relativity between beast and Homo sapient that I noted in my young days i.e. the beast is sated after a meal but man wants more than is necessary for his survival.

Strangely such necessity of over-providence that has conduced man to civilization is now is pointing to his extinction

Or you could simply abolish parliament, and make each ministerial office (environment, science, education, immigration, treasury, commerce, traffic, etc) a separate office to each other, where candidates must declare which ministries they are running for, and must get the most votes in an election to qualify for running them.
That way, people that are relevant to the field are more inclined to apply for it, and must also demonstrate that they are credible candidates- so their relevance exists in more than just their own mind.
