Understanding Genetics - Peter Atkins Interview 5

[flashvideofan]

It is a commonly cited myth that evolution has come to a standstill. But this is not correct - for we are now in reverse.

What we have now is a gradual degradation of the human stock in Western societies. The least appropriate people a breeding far too many children and the professional classes far too few, in many cases not at all.

The features that define civilisation can disappear if not propagated to future generations.

Only time will tell the disastrous outcome of our foolhardy ways.

"We'd be like god"???? Perhaps Mr. Atkins would care to explain what he means by this.

[irishmauddib]

Er, hello, he did, straight after saying it he said what he meant.

@taotaotatti

Oops.

[johnallanzero]

he seems to struggle slightly with the conversion of thought to speech, but what comes out is very precise and informative. there should be more people like him about. thanks for the vids.

[marchog]

There's a lot of thought there.
