### If only. Unfortunately, governments are a huge part of the social
landscape and whatever they do, it does have an impact on evolution, over
and above our individual choices. For example, we can safely assume that
resource transfers from affluent, intelligent and conscientious parents to
indigent, dumb and careless parents or their children would in the long
term measurably shift relevant allele frequencies. Luckily, the coming
robot apocalypse will make this irrelevant soon enough.
