If I was a grade school science teacher every test would have this question at the bottom and it would be worth like forty percent of the test, every time.

If you miss this question more than twice you have to come to mandatory after school detention where I’d teach you lessons like “eugenics is bad, actually” and “alpha male influencers are full of shit”

What makes us human? The story of human evolution is a long and fascinating one, from the Procunsuls that lived in trees to the first apes to wield tools.

"It was something of a ridiculous notion--'survival of the fittest'. Maybe it was a rule of thumb for vast numbers of creatures but not for individuals. You could be very fit but trapped behind a multitude rushing to escape a burning building. You could be very fit but stricken by a virulent disease you could not afford to have treated because you were poor and uninsured. And of course, you could die sheerly by accident--through another's carelessness.

Yet, if you perished, it was because you were 'unfit'. History would not care for you in the slightest--history would not even record you."

--"Equatorial" by Joyce Carol Oates from "The Doll-Master: And Other Tales of Terror"

The "SamuRai Dad Resort" Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the discord members of the MGR LGBTQ+ community which mostly consisted of tumblr users from various countries around the world (May - August 2022). It states that all Samuel Rodriguez and Raiden (from the Metal Gear series, specifically Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance) makeout fanarts has Darwin from AWOG hence the nickname of the "Darwin Incident".

“In the eighteen seventies and eighties, when the ideas of the new biology began to circulate in the American middle class, they were greeted with a suspicion which often bordered on moral revulsion. Darwin's theory of evolution—the most brilliant synthetic breakthrough of nineteenth- and perhaps twentieth-century biological science—‘shattered the Christian cosmos.’ It was not only that the theory violated the letter of the Old Testament; Darwinism went further and asserted that the world of living creatures could have gotten the way it is without the intervention of God, in fact, without conscious effort on anybody's part. What was left, in the view of leading American Christians, was a godless universe, a moral desert—

Life without meaning; death without meaning; the universe without meaning. A race tortured to no purpose, and with no hope but annihilation. The dead only blessed; the living standing like beasts at bay, and shrieking half in defiance and half in fright.

The spiritual implications of the new biological truth were, as one minister put it, ‘brutalizing.’

In a lesser way, biology's second great contribution to popular culture—the Germ Theory of Disease—further undercut the religious foundations of morality. Traditional religion saw individual disease as the price of moral failings, epidemics as acts of a vengeful God. In the mid-nineteenth century, Albert Barnes, a leading Presbyterian minister, declared cholera to be a punishment for the ‘vanities of natural science,’ especially Darwinism. But, through the lenses of the new high power microscopes available in the mid-eighteen hundreds, disease began to look like a natural event which depended less on God than on the growth rates of what appeared to be fairly amoral species of microbes. If diseases were dispensed in some sort of microbial lottery, rather than by moral plan, then indeed this was a ‘race tortured to no purpose.’

In order to become a moral force in society, biological science had had to undergo a kind of moral transformation itself. For example, Darwin's popularizers managed to identify ‘evolution’ with ‘progress,’ as if natural history were a long uphill moral pilgrimage. This stratagem excused some of the more savage aspects of natural selection and—even more important—it left room for a divine Plan. The laws which science was uncovering would turn out to be the expression of the will of God—revelations of the divine Plan. Thus science could provide moral guidelines for living: for example, that one had an ‘evolutionary duty’ to ‘advance the race’ through proper selection of a mate, good health habits, etc. By the eighteen eighties it is difficult to find a popular tract or article on any subject—education, suffrage, immigration, foreign relations—which is not embellished with Darwinian metaphors. Charlotte Perkins Gilman's classic Women and Economics, the theoretical breakthrough for a whole generation of feminists, appealed not to right or morality but to evolutionary theory. Women's confinement to domestic activities had made them more ‘primitive’ and undeveloped than men. If women were not emancipated, the whole race would be dragged down, she argued (with the naïve racism which was typical of her time):

In keeping her on this primitive basis of economic life, we have kept half humanity tied to the starting-post, while the other half ran. We have trained and bred one kind of qualities into one-half the species, and another kind into the other half. And then we wonder at the contradictions of human nature! . . . We have bred a race of psychic hybrids, and the moral qualities of hybrids are well known.

Germ Theory went through a similar moral transformation. If it was germs and not sin that were the immediate cause of disease, then sin could be still retained as an ultimate cause. Germ Theory was transformed into a doctrine of individual guilt not at all out of tune with old-fashioned Protestantism. Anyone who transgressed ‘the laws of hygiene’ deserved to get sick, and anyone who got sick had probably broken those laws. The English physician Elizabeth Chesser, in her book Perfect Health for Women and Children, warned that ‘the time has nearly arrived when we shall not be permitted to be unhealthy.’”
