from what i gather, the idea of devolution is that, due to our modern way of life wer are somehow weaker and more vulnerable and that this will be damaging to our society. the comparison to a strong fit early human hunter gatherer would be better suited to cope in a crisis that left humans without their precious technology.

i like the argument that if an average person was to travel back in time they could explain all these wonderful aspects of their modern technology but, this is an average person, they would be unable to recreate or even explain the workings of most of them.
leviter, thank you for your contribution. your answer echoed my sentiments on the subject. the idea of devolution is ridiculous as you cannot compare two sets of humans who are both suited to their own environments.
