It`s certainly food for thought Andy.Yip you could argue that the survival of the fittest is the strongest willed, selfishly, single mindedly driven and accompanied with inteligence to boot should see themselves at the forefront of evolutionary stages..But,how intelligent or how devious is the question..i would say we need to separate ourselves from reality to think we are doing any good to our environment on an inteligent level..We`d need to be not true to ourselves.
Lets go back in time...The elite ancestors of todays elite were just down and out devious to control on/or religious and monetary grounds..Using fear on both counts to control.Then theres the inner breeding within these groups..marrying into and within status..leading to allsorts of genetic deformaties and on some plain..killing the lines with no struggle involved and being kept away from natures natural virals and struggles.
Whereas..Those being at the forefront of every combat thrown at them,naturally build defences....and as with likes HIV.,Very fast,faster than humans can find an antidote in the labs

Sooner or later,some diease will threaten mankind,Those like the 3rd world africans will remain...And i reckon where life once began in africa..will be the place of a newer generation of species..with genetic advances ready for the next realm.
As for sci-fi..I`ve seen m8

.
I`ve witnessed a man...standing outside a building with all the usual outside noise of traffic etc,answering questions on `going for gold` ,the television was on low, four rooms inside the building..separated by four rooms and walls and the room the tv was in.. the door was shut.
Yip,the guy was ill..ie,short circuit to the brain gave him boosted senses... but,isnt that evolution trying to wire correctly...and what would become when it does?
Hmmmm,food for thought and extremely very interesting
