Should evolution have done away with ugly people?

What you're forgetting is that beauty is relative.
If you have sexy people of a certain race X from their country, and you move them to a multicultural society such as America, they won't be classed as the definition of beauty anymore, as beauty is relative. What will happen is that white people will be classed as beautiful, and race X will not be considered beautiful anymore. I've just given you a really good example of how beauty is relative, not absolute. We measure beauty by the standards we have around us.

Evolution has already got rid of ugly people. If you look at the Royal Family or the movie stars of now, and compare them to a hundred years ago, you will notice a big difference.

Let's compare Marylin Monroe, the sexiest female actor at the time.

To Penelope Cruz

Let's do another one. Let's compare Kate Middleton and Prince Harry

To Princess Margaret's Wedding in 1960. Let's go back 50 years!

Thanks to evolution, we don't have to deal with people with unattractive faces, like the people who lived in BC times! If I saw some of them while walking down road, I would start screaming as they have massive eyes and noses. To save me the bad memories of looking at BC people on Wikipedia, I'll show you some Greeks.

So it's safe to say that evolution has done its purpose.
The end!

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
