The big question

Has the human being stopped evolving ? An evocative question raised by our resident naturalist of 60 years Sir David Attenborough . His thinking behind this is natural selection is no longer applicable to human beings . If a weak child is born modern medicine kicks in with incubators and defibrillators . 95 % of new borns now survive hence the weakest are passing on genes that should not be passed on . I suppose fertility treatments are to be included in this argument . I don't say this lightly either before someone puts the boot into me as my daughters birth was not exactly probable without a little help ....Darwin himself lost a child and wrestled with whether that was the design of natural selection or the will of God . Its an interesting question.....

If I know me....

I have a cold and a temperature I think . I need a hair cut as well . Feeling crap so no writing tonight . This probably means i'll write all night !!! When I feel more like it I must write that piece about the haunted manor next door .
