> It sounds like post-hoc rationalizing to apply this logic to humans.
I couldn't agree more. Humans are (mostly) monogamous and are born from combinations of parental genes (with the exception of the mitochondrial DNA). Thus the properties we inherit are directed. This is why we bully: a group of humans hate dissimilar properties an individual has.
As much as you hate it, we are heavily dictated by our genetics: identical twins are often mistaken has "having the same thoughts" to the point of mistaken telepathy.
It irks me that many attempt to explain away dysgenics as inherently impossible. As the article points out, simple changes to our metabolism can improve our bodies greatly. Natural selection is one tool of many that powers evolution, as evolution only rewards those who reproduce the fastest.
