Researchers Find Evidence That Human Evolution Is Still Actively Happening
A large new study says humans are still evolving. Scientists found that natural selection is weeding out harmful genetic mutations from our gene pool.
While we tend to think of evolution as laborious process that takes a long period of time, there also changes that can take place over one or two generations. Researchers from Columbia University analyzed DNA from 210,000 people in the United States and Britain and found that certain genetic variants, particularly those linked to Alzheimer’s disease and heavy smoking appear less frequently in people who live longer. This suggests that such genes are being less favored and may be on the way out of the human genome.

Will not discuss here, I think they are shallow, my viewpoint is more important and pressing, Evolution stopped with Reason (definitions).

Awsome find. You have an eye for science.

Evolution was never proven in the first place. Always someone trying to find new in the old for nothing. Factor in polution and drug testing, bad economics, poor govt decision, classism, racism and all the results go out the window.
Shinobi-gun Kinobe Or, perhaps, and more likely, those are all factors in what evolves and what doesn’t. ‘Adapt or die’ is part of evolution, and if you don’t believe that, then, well, you’ve already died.

Wasim Muklashy wrong, all things change, wether or not they adapt. Death is not a thing, it is transformation and in that fact, nothing dies because it has not changed, it merely changes states because that is how life works.
Shinobi-gun Kinobe Ok.
