Evolution and the future of mankind

The author speculates on the future course of human evolution and concludes that current reproductive disparities between the diverse populations of the world will dramatically change the past course of human evolution. Culture,which in prehistoric and early historic times generally served to enhance the survival chances of a population, in the modem world has frequently tended to develop in directions which harm rather than enhance the survival chances of populations which have accepted such anti-evolutionary values. Cultures whose core values are inimical to successful reproduction and the survival chances of the phylogenctic continuum will inevitably eliminate the societies which accept them.
