My point about civilization is that natural selection is not such a factor when afflictions that might make one less fit, poor eyesight, genetically weak teeth etc etc, are corrected or made up for by society. I guess that that resistance to certain plague germs was once a civilizational survival trait but technology has virtually removed those germs from the biosphere.

We may not be the pinnacle of evolution, but as long as we breed as we do now, we may have reached our pinnacle of our evolution.

Of course, biologists would say that there is no pinnacle of evolution. There is only adaptation to a specific environment.
