gollark: Humans and humans' ancestors WERE subject to natural selection for billions of years.

gollark: > if you actually let natural selection work, anything other than straight would get selected outAnd yet it wasn't. Weird.

gollark: I mean, it's "natural" in the sense of "nature produced it".

gollark: > If we’re gonna have this cancerous discussion, then there’s a theory that homosexuality is actual selected for, as a way to reduce how quickly we approach the environmental carrying capacityLike I said, natural selection doesn't exactly optimize for what's best for the *group*.

gollark: I mean, we *are* born with... brain things... which make us susceptible *to* belief in god.
