JE:-
Survival of the individual is not all that concerns nature! In the end she
is only concerned with maximizing the total number of fertile forms each
parent reproduces into one population. Survival and reproduction have to
compete for the same finite resources available to each individual. Nature
cuts this loaf so that survival costs become minimized allowing
reproduction
to be maximized. Nothing else can be selected for. Nature ends up
selecting
for the leanest and meanest survival option available.

And, when populations of individuals are 'sifted' by evolution-producing
challenges (~selection pressures) specifically in the form of
"specific/synaptic hibernation imploring ["imploring"=required if to be
reproductively survived] threats" and simultaneously environmentally
presented evolutionary opportunities (niches/nich-elements for the taking),
the leanest and meanest of any survival options :-) - is one that is
correspondingly *ambiadvantageously* adaptive.

Hence, my post hoc recognition of/insight into the trend towards AEVASIVE
phenotypes within the phylogeny of fauna.

We humans just happen to be the by far most characteristic example of this
trend (or attractor in the direction of AEVASIVE phenotypes).
