This isn't really evolution "going wrong".

 

Dede's condition is apparently caused by a form of Epidermodysplasia verruciformis, a genetic mutation which causes increased susceptibility to Human papillomaviruses. IOW, the symptoms themselves (massive "bark-like" growths) are not caused by the mutation but by a viral infection.

 

The mutation would seem to have little direct impact on fecundity, since Dede is a father of two.

LOL!

 

What is evolution to you? In order to create new life forms or even new features you need new information, not damaged existing information. The world is cursed, it is in decline, we are headed for extinction not turning into Friedrich Nietzsche's supermen.

So are you just going to come into and start bitterly mocking every thread that mentions the word "evolution" in any context?

that's obviously false. Changing old information results in new information, which can be beneficial or detrimental.

As I have said before, it is probable that evolution by natural selection, while still going on, will become less important over the next few centuries, since we are gaining the power to modify ourselves genetically. Human gene insertion, deletion and selection will become the dominant factor in human genetic change in the future.

I think the debade part you hear on the news about evolution is people who have problems go to hospital or see a doctor. And believe the body is starting to reject drugs like the flu virus.After time the virus , bacteria or parasite find way around the drug.And believe medicine in 21 century is doing more harm than good for the body.By the immune system too depended on drugs and technology to live.
