Selection over?
Last week, near me, 3 teens were killed in a single car crash. It seems sure that speed was involved (and probably alcohol). The adaptation of risk taking that may have helped feed paleolithic hunters may now be being selected against.
Selection may be hard to see when you are surrounded by the trees. It may also be less apparent in a huge population but don't be so sure it is not there.
