only one race of man that i know of on this planet... if you mean color then i'd have to say caucasians are pretty well set.

I think Caucasians already hit their peak, my money is on the Asians. They're going places.

Roaches for sure. They can survive anything. You can put those little cocksuckers in the microwave and they still survive. Cockroaches are God's most durable (thus presumably most favored) creation.

Natural selection doesn't favor any particular "race." What a lame, groundless idea.

Very true. It's not like the universe is picking favorites and applying the principles of natural selection exclusively.
Natural selection is just a word for all of the behavioral, biological, and environmental factors that go into the success/failure of any and all individuals and species.

Asia accounts for over 60% of the world population with almost 3.8 billion people. People's Republic of China and India alone comprise 20% and 16% respectively. Africa follows with 840 million people, 12% of the world population. Europe's 710 million people make up 11% of the world's population. North America is home to 514 million (8%), South America to 371 million (5.3%), and Australia 21 million.
Definitely NOT caucasians, unless the majority of those living in Asia & Africa are white.

Race is a largely artificial distinction, and so natural selection has little to say for white power.

Well dearie, if you would do your 'job' and have 6 or 8, we Caucasoids might have a fighting chance. But nooooOOOOOOOOoooooo! You have to be socially and ecologically responsible and have only two.

If humans are going to survive, we're probably all going to have to coalesce into one race eventually.
Or become trans-human evolved lifeforms.

Natural selection weeds out the weak, inferior races, and allows the stronger races to prosper. Considering that we have pretty much unchecked population growth, except for Earth's carrying capacity, I'd say it favors humans.

Natural selection functions at the genetic level, so your question is unanswerable.

That sweet sweet question's always at the end of it, "what's considered natural?" Human beings cannot see into the future, so what we can relate this question is to what's happening around us right now. Being inherently self-destructive is the nature to this beast that is the human being. Speaking of survival of the fittest, if religion has it's way, we'll either all survive the birthing process naturally, or the assistance of technology will make us so deficient that we'll almost solely rely on it, hopefully our children will thrive and take genetics out of the equation. Strong genes will probably be the decider, but if over population take it's place in history, genetics used to save a person before birth may be illegal. What do you think?

I don't think we'll ever completely destroy ourselves. Even if we dealt our civilization a crushing blow, some of us would still survive to carry on evolution. Even the dinosaurs weren't completely wiped out, some of them lived and evolved into animals we see today.

We'll supposedly we're gonna end up tall handsome athletic men with big penises, and hairless (apart from head) very attractive women, both with light coffee coloured skin and non afro hair.
And the rest will be troglodyte type beings.
If you want a link go stick your head up your fanny.
LOOOOOL.

Is this a serious post? If so, replace the word race with genotype and you'll begin to get yourself on the right track.

Alright maybe "species" would have been a better word, or if you prefer, genotype. Obviously you got the gist though.

Big sulfur consuming mutations from deep sea quakers in about 675.784 years ruling the world. In other words, I can't assume anything here. Maybe we also will be overruned by some outer space species which will hold us as slaves. Or some heavy evolution push on another species, maybe crocodiles or rats or bacteria or plant.. At least, humans are some really heavy selective evolutionary pressure on other species.

Having a huge dick isn't what natural selection is about. Mice have, even for them, relatively small penises, but because of evolution and selective breeding they finish in less than a minute. SOUNDS LIKE FUN, EGH?!?!
