I'm gonna just keep posting this until it sticks:

Here we go with the correct but still unpopular answer.

In order for evolution to proceed you need genetic variation that is acted upon by natural selection. Natural selection dictates that less fit individuals will reproduce less (or not at all) than more fit individuals. Without natural selection THERE IS NO EVOLUTION.

So, if you look at human beings, we've had the technology for centuries to assure that all humans (or at least a random sampling) reach adult reproductive age, regardless of fitness (those 6 billion people out there must be proof of that). Hence there is no natural selection in human populations, hence there is no evolution in human populations.

Human technologies may evolve, but humans as a species have stopped undergoing biological evolution long ago.

You ask countless worth questions. The solutions already right here conceal the needed angles of your inquiry. yet somewhat all i favor to operate that as long as time exists each and everything evolves (at its own p.c..). What evolutions you desire to anticipate us to discover interior some generations might want to perchance take thousands of generations. perchance it would want to take position swifter if social paradigms shift. that's a straightforward fantasy that we use 10% of our brains", however that's real in a distinct type of way. We do use each and each and every of the products of our mind ultimately, however the quantity of pastime that commonly takes position is purely a fragment of what it would want to doubtlessly be doing. Who am I to assert someone with a extraordinarily energetic mind won't be able to kind a telepathic link? perchance if we somewhat believed it it would not be so demanding to do.
