   That's the problem with evolution.  Not the science part, but rather   
   all the philosophy and speculation that people try to grandfather in   
   under the label "evolution".  The worst offender there was probably   
   Phlox deciding that evolution wanted a race wiped out.  There are   
   obviously many values we hold that cavemen didn't have, so it seems   
   kind of silly to say that all the ones we do have in common with them   
   (assuming that we do at all) must have been passed down in some kind   
   of mystical process, which accounts for all our values except for the   
   ones it doesn't.  That's not really science.
