Yes that's right.
Evolution hasn't finished yet.
Recognizing what the changes are over eons is the thing, will it be more blonde girls because of sexual attraction, (they have more fun you know), will it be something else, we wont know for a while but evolution in humans is accelerating.
The possibility for genetic change is infinite, but the actual application for that change involves random chance unless intelligence assembles some usable features. I agreed from page thirteen on that I see changes too, I just believe that randomness can't assemble anything with a good result. RDK

Quote:In the most massive study of genetic variation yet, researchers estimated the age of more than one million variants, or changes to our DNA code, found across human populations. The vast majority proved to be quite young. The chronologies tell a story of evolutionary dynamics in recent human history, a period characterized by both narrow reproductive bottlenecks and sudden, enormous population growth.
The evolutionary dynamics of these features resulted in a flood of new genetic variation, accumulating so fast that natural selection hasn’t caught up yet. As a species, we are freshly bursting with the raw material of evolution.
So yes we are awash with evolutionary changes but remember the changes are slow and accumulative. You would have to be a complete moron to expect to see large leaps that would make someone visibly not a human.
