Tech & Human Evolution Simulator

Generation 150 / 150 Active

Biological adaptation did not halt with agriculture, antibiotics, and obstetrics. Technology did not replace natural selection—it hijacked and redirected it, converting ancient predation hazards into novel selective pressures.

Technological Interventions 5 Eras

1. Fire & Cooking Softens diet, shrinks gut/jaw, permits encephalization
2. Agriculture & Dairying Drives adult lactase persistence & carb metabolism
3. Modern Medicine & Hygiene Removes smallpox lethality, shifts toward immune/allergy
4. C-Sections & Obstetrics Relaxes fetopelvic disproportion survival ceiling
5. Gene Editing / Directed Selection Artificial germline & somatic resistance overrides

Evolutionary Verdict

Active Selective Restructuring

Technology has not replaced evolution; it has hijacked it by introducing novel selection factors.

Observed Shift: Shifted from acute physical hazards (predation, starvation) to metabolic, immunological, and birth-canal adaptations
Active Population Count: 10000 individuals modeled across synthetic cohorts.
