1) concerning using the group method to retain positive features in future generations -- could we use that in reverse? Meaning, if we think, as I do, that human population needs to be reduced slowly, if we found groups of humans who had fewer children, and gave them some sort of incentives to have long lives, and supported their cultures, and such, would we slowly but surely provide a means to create a reduction in population numbers?
2) In a similar fashion, could we meld into our DNA other attributes like friendliness over lack of friendliness, or peaceful problem-solving over warlike? Or does that smack of something that is akin to behaviors we don't want to further? Peggy Miller
