Natural selection is driven by pressures that affect reproduction chances

Oh, like dying of old age at 28 of a broken foot or a fucked up tooth?

Like a genetic mutation that makes you sicker

In nature it's what cleans the genetics of a species of disease over time, preventing infinite accumulation of negative mutations

If you think that's all that natural selection is, you're woefully uneducated on the topic. Because natural selection does in fact include external pressures like predators, disease, and accidents, along with genetics. Genetics can absolutely make a difference in making it to reproduction, but environmental factors are just as big of a factor, if not bigger, in making it that long.

    If you think that's all that natural selection is

    Are you just arguing for the sake of it now? What's your point here? These replies are so incoherent and riddled with strawmen

    At no point did I claim this to the exclusion of all other factors and you gotta be willfully misinterpreting to come to that conclusion
