Over thousands of years, we have become a weaker and weaker species.

As individuals we may be weaker. But as a species we are stronger than ever.

Really?

Our genetics are producing stronger, rather than weaker humans?

I used to buy that. But that would require a net gain of genetic information instead of a loss.

I`m not so sure about that. Thousands of years ago, if a disease came along, only the strongest could survive and live to pass their genes along. Now, with the aid of modern medicine, even the weak can survive and be able to pass their genes along.
