Every action should have an equal and opposite reaction.

So, perhaps, for every act of evolution, there is devolution.

If “selection” is random, including deselection as equally possible, is real, at least for one generation.

Survival of the fittest isn’t immediate. Essentially the unfit live for many years, never breed, and disappear from the gene pool.

For a species to evolve, more than half need to improve.

The deselected happen as much as the selected. They just cannot breed, there is no evolutionary advantage. No point multiplying negatives with negatives.

They are our loveable monsters, the worst of us in terms of evolution, but maybe the best, if we seek them out.
