We are just the same as we were thirty thousand years ago in terms of our brain capacity and this is not going to change, but I think what you mean is have we evolved in the sense that we are any better at understanding each other instead of being hell bent on destroying each other, again it would appear not, we still don't seem to be able to learn from our past mistakes, history teaches us so many things, its just a shame that each new generation tends to ignore what has happened before and goes and does the same stupid things again, sad though it is, jealousy, greed, discrimination, the base emotions which precede the actions of war and genocide are very much still a part of us now as they were thousands of years ago.

It depends upon what time period you look at. If you're talking about over the past 2,000 years since the start of the calender years as we see them now then no, we really haven't evolved that much; it's been our creations that have evolved such as the computer you have sitting in front of you right now if you can read this answer. But if you're talking about since the start of upright-walking beings with 2 legs then we obviously have very much evolved. Actually, we are evolving right now but you just can't notice it with so many different people out there.

Evolution never stops but it doesn't always change at the same rate. When conditions are stable and favorable to large populations the rate of change might slow. When there is a sudden change in conditions those better suited to survive tend to more quickly account for a larger percent of the population.
Human beings now exist in larger numbers than ever before. Some would argue there might be more humans alive today than have lived and died in the past. Technology has made this possible (agriculture, medicine, etc.). Unfortunately this is at the expense of many other species for whom we compete for space and resources.

They've definitely evolved, but they haven't "improved". Instinct has been proven to be more friendly to a species than "intelligence". Nature's experiment with the human race has failed. In due time, humans will succeed in killing themselves off and they will gradually, over thousands of years evolve back into...apes...or some form thereof...

Such negative answers from folk so young! You need to change your perspective a little, me thinks!
Okay, I am a 700+ yo Sasquatch and I have seen almost everything one could expect!
Humankind has come a long way in the last few hundred years!
200 years ago, flight was nearly unheard of unless you were a bird! 500 years ago, humans killed folk for being different!
So, Yes! IMHO, humankind has come a long way 'after thousands of years' of being here!

In the physical aspect, no.
However, in the mental aspect, yes. Over time humans have gotten smarter. I would consider that evolving.

Yes, we have discovered capitalism and how to improve ourselves. See the self-improvement industry. The sad thing is most Americans do what they do and that is it. Immigrants come here and make it because they are aggressive and work hard.
