Is it normal to fear that evolution is going into reverse?

Does this mean I get to be a dinosaur?

I'm more appalled by your lack of understanding of how evolution works.

Children and teens are, by definition, stupid, immature and in possession of poor judgement abilities. This is why social media and electronic devices are so destructive when left in the hands of a teen who has not been taught properly.

Blame absent/inattentive parents and the natural stupidity that comes with youth. Teens and children are not neurologically developed enough to understand what adults take for granted and often have poor impulse control as a result. The neurology of a teen has changed very little in the past century. However, the resources that they have at their disposal to do stupid shit have.

It's extremely unlikely in any biological sense; there just haven't been enough generations of humanity as we know it for evolution to act much on us. We're only 500 or so generations removed from painting on cave walls; that's not enough time for much in the way of major population shifts, aside from a few inherited immunities and maybe a tendency to grow taller.

You just have a skewed view of history. Time has washed away much of the stupidity of past generations and millennia, leaving only great works of art and major historical events.

If you're ever tempted to think we're becoming brutes, read up on medieval European history or delve into some of the charming habits of ancient civilizations. Gladiatorial combat, enslavement, genocides, witch-burnings, mass panics, superstitions, widespread infanticide, pogroms, heretic-burnings -- the list of past awfulness is so long that it can't help but make this look like an enlightened age by comparison.

I think you have unfortunately put a scientifically incorrect title and all of the know-it-alls have jumped on you! But I feel sad when I see the way society has changed in ways that are not for the better, so I know where you are coming from. However, there are many young people who are being raised correctly and who will become the pioneers of the next generation. So I don't think society is doomed just yet. :)

"Sixteen and Pregnant" and similar shows are cause for alarm. The idiots are out-breeding everyone else.

Oh the irony of this post

This is a teenager speaking, I am 16. And yes, I fear the same thing.I guess I'm that way too. I hate what the human race has become. We are getting stupider and stupider, and we don't live life naturally anymore. Humans are the only species that kill for pure pleasure. If we, as some people believe, are the only animals with a conscience, then why do we enjoy torturing other animals and people? The things that people do, like eating meat, hunting, cutting down trees etc have shown that we are just as primitive if not more so, than our non-human animal counterparts.
I also hate how we, as humans, have developed a superiority complex. We believe that we are the most intelligent species on Earth and that we were made in God's image, all other animals don't have souls etc. Which if you read the old testament, it states. We think of ourselves as superior and use our animal friends as puppets for our cruel misdeeds. Look at the grand national; every year, many horses die from injuries and the stress that has been put on them for the racing. We even separate ourselves from animals, even though we are actually animals ourselves. So yes, in that way I hate people.

I don't like being referred to as a teenager either because of what being a teenager represents. You know, when you say the word "teenager", what comes to mind? Stupid, Drug usage, drinking alcohol on street corners, sex, teenage pregnancy, partying, friends, being rude and arrogant and loud, wearing baggy clothes, harassing elderly pensioners.... The list goes on. It's just what being a teenager stands for. Because I do not do any of the things listed above:
I am not stupid, I wouldn't use drugs because they are illegal and can have harmful side effects, I only drink little tiny glasses of alcohol with parent supervision, I've never had a boyfriend, let alone had sex, I'm home educated and don't have many friends so don't go to parties, don't wear make up, and I'm certainly not rude or arrogant to elders. Teenagers generally, though not all, lack respect for other people. Honestly, I fear for the future of our generation. I predict we will have more wars, more conflicts, the new leaders will be worse than Bush probably. We need to shape up, people!!!

Then that means I'll de-digivolve and become less powerful.

When complex turns to simplicity

Moral degradation of society is happening and there's nothing you can to about it.

The best you can do is to associate with decent people and avoid the scum.

Yes, but I don't think for the reasons you have listed.
