Are poor people evolving faster? They generally have children earlier, meaning they have more generations per unit time, meaning more chances for mutations. Are poor people going to win the evolutionary race?
There's very little selective pressure eon humans today, so no

Yes. More generations = more evolution. It doesn't matter which way the mutations go, it still occurs. Selective pressure for modern man is social now. Literally the opening of the movie Idiocracy:

More like the mutant will be better at gaining welfare and fucking sluts.

faster evolving is the one who reproduces earlier, not more. And I'm not quite sure that only the poor have children before the legal age
Yes and no. The problem is that the population of poor people is fluid. Poor and Not-poor are not segregated, at least not for enough generations for there to be genetic differentiation among these groups. The lifestyle of poor people (earlier reproduction) does nothing if the populations mix every so often.

>t. Someone who does not understand evolution in the slightest.

Technically there was nothing factually incorrect in my post.

Yes. The future is poor, ignorant and religious. That's basically what happened in the middle east. Dysgenics.
Also don't forget that poor people often adopt rut based breeding, with one buck male siring children from multiple females. Polygamous species will evolve faster than monogamous species, it's just common sense.

Factually incorrect, average IQ is increasing, not decreasing. Look into it.

There is.
"Evolutionary Race"
There is no such thing as an evolutionary race, unless you're using some kind of frame of reference for what the winning condition is, which you haven't provided.

There isn't, unless you're an absolute dumb ass like hitler who didn't probably even look at "The Origin of Species" because he was too busy being literally Hitler. In which case he decided to kill absolutely everyone who didn't agree with him and do his bidding, and when that failed killed him self.
>>8789025
That's not how evolution works.
Are you guys even paying attention to what's happening on the internet or technology as a whole?
LOL. fucking tad poles these days.

hey, hitler was a fucking genius. Sure, he said a lot of fake bullshit, but this was for the political reasons, not scientifical correctness
