yes you are right. I should have made clear I was talking about biological evolution by natural selection. I assume that is also what the OP was talking about, given the reference to selection of mates.
By source code I mean genetic code. Once we have access to that, the human timescale modification will so totally dwarf any natural selection that it’s basically not there. Can you elaborate on your position?

Except at that point evolution incorporates human modification into itself. Specifically, those who are better at modifying themselves in way that promote their inclusive genetic fitness will out compete those that don’t.
Memes.
That’s not at all obvious. Note evolution =/= genetic evolution.

Which is, of course, a good point to make up a new name so that the old one isn’t stretched out of shape.
Which is obviously affected by memetic evolution.
