For that theory to work though, you would have to remove mankind from a dynamic Earth; maybe put them in a sterile spaceship with constant gravity and life support conditions so as to eliminate environmental adaptions. But even then, it's hard to overcome random mutation.

It would make a great pickup line though. "Hey babe, I'm what you get when evolution runs it's course."

Not at all, the envelope for “survival” is fairly spaceous.

It is you who must posit a completely static environment to try to make your assertion plausibly falsifiable (without actually subjecting it to experimentation) , not me.

The only question now is “what constitutes an ‘improvement’ for an organism with no substantive limitation to passing on its genetic material?”
