“If one form has an advantage, such as being harder to spot, it should replace all others. How does this reconcile with the theory that females (or males) only choose those potential mates that best exemplifies the species? Thus, the "weird" example may survive--but it won't breed to pass on the trait.

What about TWO BIG EARS?.......

Tests performed on blue jays and salamanders has shown that predators are less likely to attack any form of their natural prey that is seen as somehow different. The problem is that human predators (especially of the deviant and liberal variety) do not act like predators in nature. Therefore, those "differences" that might make animals in nature less appealing to their natural predators have a special appeal to deviant human predators.

In short, predators don’t like weird prey. ...and yet largemouth bass will try to engulf a buzzbait.

predators don’t like weird prey That's because they plan to eat their prey. This does not extend to humans for 2 reasons: 1) we are predators, not prey, and 2) most human evolution is driven by tribal warfare, which is a team effort. Being weird isn't any help there.

I guess this theory would also explain the recent proliferation of Dems in the voter registry... Repubs just find them too weird to attack.

Having a limp will single you out as prey if you are part of herd of water buffalo. So will being small.
