Human evolution basically ended with the advent of agriculture. I guess the plagues improved the disease resistance of our gene pool too. With welfare, healthcare, humanitarian aid, etc we have no conditions that catalyze evolution. We subsidize the weak and allow their genes to be passed on. I think its the right thing to do, compassion>evolution, unless your a nazi or something.

Human evolution can not be measured in genes anymore. We have entered the age of transhuman evolution. We are not going to fix genetic problems with biological evolution anymore. We are going to fix genetic problems with technology.

I am not surprised at all that other species have felt the pressure of natural selection more than humans. We have been using artificial selection for thousands of years. I would be surprised if chimps were the only species with more genetic adaptations than us.

edit: oowe, fix your spelling and grammar before you call people stupid. Go back into the general and recreational sections where people will tolerate your absurd statements.
