Are you serious? Or just trolling? Most times it's hard to tell.
Look outside. At the real world. We have force evolved by selective breeding.
Dogs? Cats? We can force evolve a new breed in a few years.
Coywolves. We forced them together. Now we have a new sustainable breed of canines.
Cats? There's a breed of cats theat evolved in Japan's sewers. Small, shortlegged, and quiet.
I lived in PA 70 years ago, and 170 pound deer were abundant. We killed all them. The remaining, breeding stock evolved into small antlered, maybe 100 pounders.
And people? 500 years ago if you didn't like the way that newborn was formed, you "gave it back to God" A bucket of water, float it downstream, or just left outside- 'twas God's will what happened to it.
Societies celebrated your "coming of age"; disease, accidents, predation eliminated the "unlucky" 50%
Nowadays? Our culture?
The autistic, allergic, hemophiliac, etc. are protected, admired, and encouraged to breed.
If you're upper middle class, or higher- educated, eat right, clever, successful- 1 or 2 kids.
Ill bred and ill fed- Section8, having 5 or more kids a few years apart is sustainable.
Read a book.
As the world goes bad, the far right will evolve into our Morlocks for us.
