Actually, you could argue that innovation also makes certain traits unessesary

Like before the asians, it were the indians who were amazing with math

But well, say if every one had a calculator, how long before they dont see any reason to keep going with math

True some inventions make somethings that evolved useless.

You cant affect that with the starting conditions in my opnion

@GingaBomber you'd still need math for theoretical concepts

Besides the demographic of the test group

For example what use is being very strong these days.

Surviving in a city?

Self defense?

I mean, people are coming up with situations for an excuse to be strong

Like sports.

Manual labour?

And jobs.

Being strong is pretty useful

But we live in a society where the weak are compensated by the strong

The weak compensate with other means

Or innovation allows the weak to contribute

Yeah, machines and guns, I suppose

So like prosthetics or tools

But being strong serves the same purpose as before

Which will affect the culture progression

I was just giving it as a example I'm sure there are better examples to prove the point.

So how they treat the weakest/dumbest at the start

It was a good one

Enough

And well, how they progress

Most societys get ahead by discarding the young and weak

Weak young I mean

I think the visual spatial intelligence was a better one because we have maps and other means of navigation.

Well warfare is something common though

With all cultures

Like say, a sharper knife needs less force to deliver the same amount of damage

And well, to defend youself, youd have to learn how to fight, and the different methoids your opponent might use

But all you need now is a gun, an alarm, eyesight and a working hand.

And a brain

Well I've enjoyed this discussion but I have to go to work in the morning.

Ah me too

Good night then.

But you know why I decided to change the topic earlier right?

I was hoping we could discuss it without the emotional investment.
