Selective breeding perhaps, not out right devolution.
Men and women are physically attracted to each other due to health and ability to breed. If either have the attractive attributes of healthy physique, ability to breed along with intelligence and an ability to provide (regardless of the constraints of social conditioning), those types would be preferred for mating. People naturally select a mate based on the whole package, not just because they only have characteristics that make them wealthy providers. This would likely produce more people in a population that had all these desired attributes, not less.
If this is true, nature would select all the best attributes to ensure survival and create more "alpha" types rather than select out those same characteristics and cause a larger population of "inferior" stock.

Really quick.
Devolution is not a thing.
Thanks

Yeah no. There is no evidence in the genome of what you claim. Show me the proof.

Get us into a Courtroom where it can be embedded officially and sure no problem...otherwise the juice is not worth the squeeze.

Exactly which gene is it that you’re referring to as the hybrid vigor gene? If it exists, you should be able to identify it, right?

Neighbour,
I have a back ground in genetics (and Pharmaceutical Chemsitry) and no, there are not two distinct departure points in our genomes.
Be specific. The burden of proof is on you, for making the claim, not anyone else.
First off...great that you have experience in genetics...second off forget it there is no burden of proof on anyone here at all this is a voyage of discovery not an inquisition...a voyage of discovery because there is ZERO SUPOSITION that either part holds agreed upon facts in hand.There is no teacher and no student....just 2 explorers. If you cannot handle that neutral ground then we have no journey to take.
I accept take your challenge....be prepared to bring your highest level of current cutting edge knowledge to the table and if your experience is olde school we will need more help...we need current knowledge as well as olde school knowledge.
You are going to walk everyone through this...from the precise position you just tried to establish me in dynamically wether you were or are aware of it or not.....lol.
I am ready...how do you feel about the adjusted parameters of our Journey?...do we need to do more tweaking or are you ready to push-off now ?
So no, provide the evidence, for review. That is how it works.

No, don't try to shift the goal posts.
You claim to have evidence.
Supply it.
Failure to do so, is an admission of you not having evidence. This is how science works. You don't claim to have a discovery, then fail to provide the proof. Science is about the open and honest sharing of information. Anyone, quite literally ANYONE can access the information.
So failure to provide this evidence, is proof you have none.
Refusal to do so, will be taken as you recanting.

Unregulated capitalism created devolution.
The growing gap in the "haves" and "have nots" is what creates chaos and strife that leads to unrest and civil disobedience.
It really is as simple as, not having a pathway of hardwork moving a person from poverty to wealth, that will cause devolution.

Supply the evidence. Stop trying to weasel out of your claims. That is how this works.
