As it has turned out, modern evolutionary scientists have found that the
Founding Fathers were right: true democracy won?t work. Natural selection
and genetic development created a human tendency for dominance, submission,
hierarchy, and obedience, as opposed to equality and democracy. As one
political scientist recently put it:
"[ Evolutionary scientists ] Somit and Peterson provide an informative
account of the evolutionary basis for our historical (and current)
opposition to democracy. For many, this will be an unwelcome message ? like
being told that one?s fly is unzipped. But after a brief bout of anger, we
tend to thank the messenger for sparing us further embarrassment."
...
Natural selection and genetic development works in a
much larger time scale than social depelopment that
may change human hierarchical, obedient etc behaviour
in less than a generation and such socially
conditioned behaviour forms
are not genetically inheritable.
Anyone who uses the winners/losers biological
evolution argument for the development of human society
is ready to blame the failures of social structure
on human characteristics, and ready to condemn
sections of society, rather than to condenm
inefficient social structures. A straight
and sinister road to fascism.
