Space doesn't offer an escape from Earth's problems. And even with nuclear fuel, the transit time to nearby stars exceeds a human lifetime. Interstellar travel is therefore, in my view, an enterprise for post-humans, evolved from our species not via natural selection, but by design. Martin Rees

Time Travel Natural Space Problems Design Stars Our Earth Enterprise Evolved Selection Lifetime Escape Offer Via Human Transit Fuel Natural Selection View Therefore Even Species Nearby Nuclear

War Government News You Corruption Bit Syrian Scandal See Selection Take Journalists Like Disaster Bias How Cover Off Reflects Report Refugees Crash Dysfunctional Turn Turn-On Planes

When I was working on my Ph.D., I developed a computer algorithm to look for rapid changes in populations' DNA. Our DNA changes constantly over generations, but if certain changes spread through a population more quickly than others, they are probably the beneficial results of natural selection. This is the protection we give ourselves to survive. Pardis Sabeti

Natural Protection Changes Others Algorithm Beneficial Our Ourselves Rapid Constantly Give More Results Through Computer Selection Developed Generations Over Look Spread Quickly Survive Than To Survive Certain Natural Selection Working Population

An argument often given for why Earth couldn't host another form of life is that once the life we know became established, it would have eliminated any competition through natural selection.

When a parasite moves to a new habitat, it can find new hosts through a process called the trans-species jump. Often, the new host has no resistance; it and the parasite haven't had time to adjust to each other through natural selection (it is frequently not in the best interest of a parasite to kill its host quickly). Richard Preston
