'Western man has stopped evolving'
An interesting report from Times of India-
LONDON: Man in the developed world has stopped evolving, a British genetics expert has said, because they no longer have to struggle to survive and natural selection does not come into play anymore.
Going by his argument, any hopes of man evolving into something other than the current human state are left with the developing world, where tools of evolution are not thwarted in the absence of modern medi-care and higher standards of living.
Steve Jones, head of the department of genetics, evolution and environment at the University College London, says the forces driving evolution - such as natural selection and genetic mutation - no longer play an important role in our lives.
The people living one million years from now, should man survive, will resemble modern-day humans.
"We now know so much about the process of evolution that we can make some predictions about what might happen in future," Jones said in a lecture here on Monday.

There will be a world disaster killing 2/3 of the human population. That will force humans to fend for them selves. No internet, electricity, cell phones. We will be living in plain homes living off the land-sounds so wonderful. Can't wait!!
LOL AKA... Hhmmm.... I think there's a truth in that.
Cheers.

I think men stopped evolving as Neanderthals...at least the one's in Qatar anyway.
I think men in general have stopped evolving mentally. Not surprised at all:)
