Humans are no-longer so subsetable to natural factors. Therefore, many people think that humans are no longer evolving due to the lack of natural selection.
However, maybe we are currently evolving FASTER THAN EVER!!?
For instance, humans are no longer "weeded out" due to diseas ... therefore, these humans continue to live and breed whereas before they would not have.
Also, soon we will be able to MODIFY ourselves with gene-therapy. We will be able to eliminate undesirable traits and include missing traits in our childeren.
Evolution is really about modifying genes. Humans will have more modified genes from one generation to the next that ever before ... Therefore, is evolution now completely up to our own desires?
