Logic? Well, I was just thinking about it the other day (evolution) and it seems if that if a person subscribes to evolution, survival of the fittest and all, that one would not use medical intervention to be healthy or for that matter save a sick persons life.
Could it be that we have intervened in evolutionary progress by keeping alive those humans that are not the 'fittest'. in days past the weak died off, now we keep them alive. Thats all.

Evolution is not a philosophy one "subscribes" to. There's no reason to "help" it along, as there is no goal. It's a process, not a plan. It's the way the diversity of species came about on this planet.

But yes, civilization has changed the evolution of humans. But civilization is worth keeping anyway.
