Is evolution going backwards?

In the past, Before civilization started to form, there was many species which were extincted due to prinicipal 'survival of the fittest'.according to this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/...
{Shortened display form of URL, to restore page width to normal. - Adminnemooseus}it is estimated that in the human genome in each birth there is 175 netural mutations.
and 3 mutations are deleterious, and fewer are beneficial.
since, that the 'survival of the fittest' is no longer taking an effect. and since most of the mutations are deleterious,
putting the two togethar in a 100,000 years from now the number of the 'negative' mutations will be simply enormous..
and diseases rate will be higher, medical proffesionals will need to deal with much more medical conditions..there for, the question is what does the future holds for homo-sapiens?This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 01-05-2005 21:00 AM
