title: Which evolutionary process, and where do we want to go?
abstract: Taking an evolutionary perspective on human nature is highly commendable when the purpose is to improve society. Changing the course of human evolution is more questionable - in the biological sense of the term. The "science of intentional change" should preferably have a terminology that distinguishes between genetic changes and cultural transformation, and it needs a direction.
