First of all the reasons humans have gotten taller has to do with a number of things.
1.Better food supply and source.
2.Hybred vigor.
3.Ability to express gene in a more disease resistant environment.
And probably a lot more...Just let me know if you think of any TOPNOTCH!

Another thing! Why do you speak in absoulutes? You lecture and nothing else...

You stated this.
"Natural selection "filters" out individuals with traits that hinder, not the other way around."
No one said otherwise. The point was a dominate trait that allowed the population to increase their ability to survive would eventually become the norm. An albino would have no chance of survival but you still see them poping up! Why wouldn't that gene be totally whipped out then? Guess that is another dicussion or lecture from TOPNOTCH!
