But the great universal of male (37)______ is being changed. Now, boy babies (38)______ almost as well as girls do. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby(particularly a boy baby)surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy (39)______ almost certain death. Today it makes almost no (40)______. Since much of the variation is due to genes, one more agent of evolution has gone.

(45)____________ .We did not evolve, because machines and society did it for us. Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution: they "look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension." No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. (46)____________.
