Huh? Do you mean what you said, or do you mean "Physical, I agree,

The evolutionary pressure on humans - despite some heroes

It may be low (although I'd like to see some science backing up that

obfuscate it, and we use technology to help people survive who would
not have, but that doesn't say anything about selection pressure.
