India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. The grand mediocrity of today —everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring — means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes.
參考譯文
印度的情況可以說明正在發(fā)生的一切。這個(gè)國家為大城市的少數(shù)人提供了財(cái)富,而給予其余的各部落人民以貧窮。今天這種大規(guī)模的均一化——每個(gè)人在存活幾率和子女?dāng)?shù)量方面都相同——意味著與部落相比,自然選擇在印度中上階層已經(jīng)失去了80%的作用。
