What are you talking about? Why does physicalism need to argue that at all? And why are you looking at evolution from one side only? It's not that there is an advantage to us remaining sick, it's that there is an advantage to the disease agents in keeping us sick.

I am sure the physicalist can concoct some elaborate theoretical reason to remain untroubled by such questions but in doing so, aren't they modifying Natural Selection to mean survival of the non-fittest?

As I said, you're looking at this from your viewpoint only.
Evolution is a battlefield, not a stage for
H. sapiens.
