Human Evolution Is Speeding Up -- Gibbons 2007 (1210): 1 -- ScienceNOW
Human Evolution Is Speeding Up -- Gibbons 2007 (1210): 1 -- ScienceNOW: "Plentiful food has made it easier than ever before to survive and reproduce in many parts of the world, so it's tempting to think that our species has stopped evolving. But a controversial new study says that isn't so. Far from slowing down, human evolution has sped up in the past 40,000 years and has become 100 times faster in the past 5000 years alone, according to the analysis. This means that even though some people have been globe-trotters who interbreed, most humans on different continents are becoming more different, rather than blending together into one genetically homogenous race."
