The ability to digest dairy and wheat. Those are two big ones. Blue eyes...there's another for ya. These are satisfying because we see them, they make a noticeable impression. Truth be told -you- have laid the groundwork for evolution in your own lifetime. You are not a carbon copy of your parents, you are not even a carbon copy of who you once were. Once you have children, you'll add these changes to the snapshot of human genetics at the population level. How well expressed whatever inheritable mutations you possess will be in 10k years is beyond me to predict, of course- but by reference to the above....and all of the blue eyed grilled cheese eating peoples of the world....you can see how prevalent a mutation may be after 10k years or so (digestion was more recent than that, btw - still isn't very well expressed in the overall human population, hence gluten allergies and lactose intolerance - course....blue eyes may be on their way out).
Evolution isn't a matter of intelligence Rogue, it's simply a matter of change. Bacteria can change quickly because they live, reproduce, and die quickly. They have more opportunity to change, as a population, relative to human beings.
Quick q - do you have wisdom teeth? I don't, not -as in- they haven't come in yet, as in.....they never formed (and given my age....never will). We're losing them, at the population level-even though many individuals (the majority) still have them (the number of wisdom teeth that form in that larger demographic varies from individual to individual from 1-4...trending downwards).
