>>12420122>Evolution is a choice and not based on population geneticsEvolution is not teleological. We can't choose to evolve some way without genetic engineering because humans are poorly disposed for eugenics.
By definition evolution is the change in allele frequency in a population. Resistance to sudden new insults is a function of the available genetic stock to replace during bottle neck events, it's why monocultures are failing so hard and need an entire industry of poison to keep them alive.
By your evaluation the people with the best genetic stock here would be Africa and third world countries with little public infrastructure or access to technology and thus have been evolving to live "independently".
