Abstract
Natural selection in man has been greatly changed in recent decades by radical alterations in birth and death rates. The opportunity for natural selection, especially that due to differential mortality, is greatly reduced. Advances in cellular and molecular biology — some already here, others soon to come — could, if used wisely, be effective replacements for a diminishing natural selection.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
