Would you join the effort of selective breeding of humans so we can get a specific appearance?

i'd say elf, tall and pointy eared please!

If we look at a bear mother with her newborn we have to ask where did we go wrong as species. Human babies are just too big, tbh.

@CrazyMusicLover thats because of modern medicine. those who would die in childbirth are now saved. meaning the trait of their big head and bodies gets left in the gene pool making babies bigger and bigger!

@popmol Nope, not modern, it's been done in ancient times already - caesarean section, known as C-section.

@CrazyMusicLover yeah i know but effectiveness, plus all other methods for more easy delivery, bigger gene pool and way more survivors.

@popmol Yeah, I'm reading that the first successful C- section was done in 1500, before it was only done to save the baby, not both mother and the baby.

@CrazyMusicLover yeah like that the gene pool won't be filled that quickly!

@CrazyMusicLover the history of medicine suggests that Caesar was born through what we now call a caesarian section, aka C-section.

@samueltyler2 But did his mother live?

@CrazyMusicLover that part of the tale is not told, i haven't thought about it in years. Maybe ask Dr. Google.
