Human (De) Evolution

There are few phrases, in the linguistic sociology of humankind, that are in more error and/or in denial than than the overly optimistic statement:

"We are evolving..."

*** The Enlightenment which began in the 1600s rediscovered not only reason and logic, which led to new political theories, science and technology; but also the pre-first century Hellenistic (Greek) philosophical belief that "Man is the measure of all things," the praxis of which can never ultimately be good...
