But...the actions/behavior of humans as inhabitants of Earth could also be seen as part of natural selection. We do what we do for many reasons, so it could be said that the result of our own behavior is part of the evolutionary process, even if it results in distasteful things.
Not really defending this argument, but it's an interesting consideration. The comparison to our own individual health maintenance is a completely different matter. We have the means, instincts and intelligence to stay healthy. But when our day comes for human extinction, it will happen regardless of our efforts.
