Reason for birth: Darwinism
If we take a biological standpoint, we can see how natural selection plays a large part in culture and breeding. Natural selection falls into Darwin’s theory of evolution. Those that do not meet the criteria to survive will die out and subsequently so will their genes, those that survive will obviously reproduce. In regards to animals this is a theory that is quite sound. In human terms this is a sadly something that does not happen. The stupid do not die out, (nor does racism or prejudice.), they reproduce because they are too stupid to understand how contraception works. Those who are intelligent and have the means to further society and it’s culture seldom breed for they know unto what they will release their progeny; Pestilence, War, Famine and Death. In the wise words of Harvey Danger, “Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding, the cretins cloning and feeding”.
But can the smart man outrun the rat? “They also aspire to a higher place in society’s pecking order, but in so doing force others in the rat race to run faster to keep up.” (Economist, 23/12/2006: 13). It is eternally running for fear that we will become genetically and culturally obsolete and die out. And thus is the process of evolution and natural selection.
