“Where Is Human Evolution Heading?” is an interesting article by Nancy Shute at USNews.com.

Humans evolve faster then ever before:

Until recently, anthropologists thought that human evolution had slowed down. But last December, Hawks reported that it has actually accelerated 100-fold in the past 5,000 to 10,000 years.

The whole article should be read.

A comment by David of CA stroke me especially:

It’s not regressive either. It’s just small adaptations among gene pools. Evolution never demands to “go” anywhere. It just meanders. We are no better than the humans of the stone age. Just different.
