Well, they have in their own sideways way. The fittest survived. If two groups hated each other and fought, the looser did not pass on their 'faulty' genes. The race was 'improved' in blood. Of course such perpetual conflict is no longer so cost effective in this era of nukes. It is time to reevaluate things. Major powers do not become more apt to perpetuate themselves or their people by hatred and war. There is a need to end the perpetual violence.
It seems racism and bigotry etc are not genetic. The "race" seems subject to deterioration from other factors, mainly the laziness of people who simply choose to not be informed or pay attention to their higher selves and values. 1930s Germany and 2020s USA are two examples. "Major powers do not become more apt to perpetuate themselves or their people by hatred and war. There is a need to end the perpetual violence." Indeed. Social and cultural evolution need to take over from the long age of genetic and creative life-force evolution and operate with learning and higher vision. The people of Germany learned and evolved after seeing the results of their erroneous ways. May we learn from them now.
