The basics of natural selection aren't towards "better", they are just
towards "more" (individuals). The first derived principle is "just good
enough" (every "feature" developed to the point where better doesn't
mean significantly more reproductive, but because of tradeoff
considerations "worse is better"), the second is that environments
stabilize, and other than periodical fluctuations, there are no changes
(and almost no development), except if secual preference selects
ridiculous secondary sexual attributes. Since the most important
secondary human sexual attributes are already borg-style (cars, money,
...), there is not much place for genetical superiority.
