It seems to me that you are overlooking the possibility of adaptation in a less strict (er?) sense...That is, the adaptation of man to a technological society. It seems reasonable that adaptation not require "gene-death" of a particular person via physical death. Social death (if such a thing exists) could/might account for gene-death in a very different manner than physical-death. Other things to be considered are "Modern" diseases (cancer for instance) which might account for adaptation.....Just some thoughts by an ameture. kipp
