Quote:I'm simply providing a counter to the original question. If evolution means a species changes over time and those changes are beneficial to it's survival, what do we call changes that are detrimental to survival?Most changes aren't beneficial. They are at best neutral and a worst an issue. As long as some totality of detrimental changes don't instantly kill the lifeform so it has a chance to reproduce that's good enough.
It's not survival of the fittest. It's survival of the adequate.
"Change was inevitable"

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
