   All this arises from a misunderstanding of evolution.   
      
   Evolution is NOT survival of the fittest.   
   It is failure to survive of the most unfit.   
      
   That is why we have many things that are pointless. Foreskins,   
   appendices. Pubic hair,  lice, fleas, worms...   
      
   These things are not enough to kill you. Generally.
