Extinction, the death of groups or of entire species -is- evolution. Functioning sex organs really -are- the only thing required. If you don't have "adaptations to use them"....then you don't have functioning sex organs. Strange way to split the baby, imo, anyway.
I agree completely. My point is that if the bulk of species is mentally ill, meaning its relationship to reality is compromised, then most likely it won't survive. Do you disagree?
