Actually, in the past, big strong man has been weeded out. Remember
the neanderthals? Their strength was not enough to stand up to the cro
magnons brains. So they eventually died out, whereas the cro magnon
survived and became homosapien. The thing is, now, there is nothing
that will weed out either big strong or short wimpy man. so evolution
is pretty much dead in the water.
