So?? This is just another attempt to hijack "evolution" into applying in an area to which it has no relevancy.
I have argued that the discontinuous gap between humans and 'apes' that we erect in our minds is regrettable. I have also argued that, in any case, the present position of the hallowed gap is arbitrary, the result of evolutionary accident. If the contingencies of survival and extinction had been different, the gap would be in a different place. Ethical principles that are based upon accidental caprice should not be respected as if cast in stone.

" Say when…" Still the same answer. Another attempt to hijack science into an area in which it is not relevant.
