4. for a long time evolution was understood as change over time.

the first mistake there is that it isnt gradual.
punctuated equilibrium replace the idea of gradualism.

iow, when a big chunk of the population gets wiped out, the genes of those that survived take over.
i wont impute intelligence to a killing machine, but if i did i would say it has a taste for morons.
and that can only improve the species.
