But none of those things are inheritable, so it makes no sense (from an evolutionary perspective) to consider that. Looks, on the other hand, tell a lot about what future offspring may look like (since physical attributes *are* actually passed on) and can also be a good indicator of inherited diseases (a good bit of them, especially the more drastic and less manageable ones, are disfiguring). No, I think the reason evolution isn't occurring is because we've surpassed it. With technology, we don't need to wait millions of years for our species to adapt to a certain environment...we build a house. We want to see in infrared too? Soon enough, we'll have ocular implants for that. We don't have And most highly intelligent, creative, socially supportive guys usually don't spend time in basements playing D&D, many of them also know how to pick up women, stay in relationships, and all those things.
