That is not a fact - that is an invention of someone completely ignorant of what the theory of evolution actually teachers.

Genetic diversity is a good thing in evolution. There is not some “ideal” variation that is perfect in every situation - there are some variations that are ‘popular’ and some that are ‘unpopular’ given the circumstances.

As I said before and find myself in need of repeating because you do not actually deal with anything I say - just repeat your ignorant talking points:

If she actually knew what biology teaches about evolution she would know that Black people are doing just fine on an evolutionary basis. They have plenty of diversity and a growing population and plenty of mates to select from both within or without their own population group and plenty of people who will be ‘imprinted’ to desire her particular brand of beauty.

There is not ONE perfect woman that all men will want as a mate to the exception of all others. There is not ONE perfect man that all women will want as a mate to the exception of all others. There is not ONE perfect variation of a gene that will be selected for in every situation.

Try learning some actual science - then you might know a few facts about what evolutionary biology actually is.

Genetic diversity is a good thing in evolution.

No, that is a false assertion, or rather atrociously vague for scientific analysis. Genetic diversity is good for the helath of a population.

But in terms of natural selection, certain characteristics are asserted to be BETTER (more adaptive) than others.

By no means does the evolutionary hypothesis of natural selection -- that is mate selection preferring "better" characteristics - SEEK diversity.

If certain characteristics are more advantageous for survival, diversity is *BAD* because diversity means that some specimens have disadvantageous characteristics. If mating specimens are choosing a mate based upon the selection of "better" characteritics, to select for diversity is to promote WORSE characteristics.

There is absolutely nothing in the hypothesis of evolution or any of its dicussion that supports or even mentions mate-selection to SEEK diversity.
