How do you think capitalism affects the process of intra-species natural selection?
Do you think that some people having access to better medical care through higher socio-economic status could have an adverse effect on the gene-pool, and by extension, the evolution of the human species?
I've been reading a lot about the history of the indigenous people of my country over the past few months and one of the most predominant excuses among the British bourgeoisie for the genocide committed against Australia's indigenous people was Darwin's theory of natural selection and the idea that the original Australians represented a lesser evolved sub-species.
[Yeah - real proud by the way

In my opinion, what occurred in this country is the most shameful aspect of British colonialism, and I have no doubt that more than a little valuable information was lost. Placing the stupidity of racism aside, the genocide of the first Australians was also the killing off much of an estimated 40000 years of oral history.
I'm by no means an expert on Darwinian theory, so I'm posting this here in the hope that others will create a more interesting discussion around what I've proposed.
