Top misconceptions of Theory of Evolution you had to deal with

[The Grand Nudger]

So...."umadbro"....really?  Do you or do you not understand how learned behaviors, regardless of there being any gene that marks them, can affect the genotype? Human beings -aren't- born with those skills, and yet we possess them. If those skills provide a survival advantage -whatever the possessor may carry- in their genes piggybacks along for the ride without those genes being operative. In the same way that genes related to height may piggyback along when natural selection works on eye color. That you choose to interpret -every- advantage natural selection works on as genetic is simply declaring it to be so by fiat. There may be a unified psychology/genetics......but you clearly don't posess that explanation and so prefer to describe any example given to you as a non-sequitur (and unrealistic, no less...despite them being examples from our history....?)........I guess you didn't inherit the genes for correctly identifying logical fallacies or engaging in robust argumentation? Or maybe you didn't inherit the genes that make these things come naturally? Or maybe...just maybe, you're demonstrably wrong.....and your genes aren't to blame.

Let's use another of your examples. You could be born with the most athletic genes in the world, and it won;t help you if your opponent in the game of life was born to a family that knows how to make a gun. You can't outrun a bullet....and making guns isn't genetic. Who's genes do you expect to find better represented in a population over time, all other things being equal? The guy who runs really fast, jumps really high, and never gets winded.....or the guy who learned to make a gun? Bang bang. Now....lets needle in on just that subset. Two gun users, both can make guns. One is a "natural" shooter (wtf that is, lol)...the other has learned to make a significantly better gun..one that requires far less skill to operate. All other things being equal...who's genes do you expect to find better represented in a population over time?

Perhaps this could all be so much simpler. Would you describe the relationship of the native americans to my european ancestors as one of genetic or technological inferiority?
