wouldn't be just great if we had two extra pairs of arms and hands? you can play chess with one, eat you pizza with second, turn up the music with thrid, and and and.. you will still have one fourth hand free!!

Originally posted by Peachyactually, humans are evolving much slower than before. Now, natural selection or 'survival of the fittest, does not affect humans because we have the ability to control our environment. So now, evolution is working even slower.
its all relative right? so.. after few thousand years, we might grow another finger and be 6 fingured lunatics.. but at the minute.. as we speak.. evolution is soooo sloooooow that might as well callin it "stopped"..
Originally posted by TDR1Yep. We are still evolving in a way though in that we are slowly losing all of our body hair because it is no longer needed for warmth. I wander in what other ways might we be changing.

in one way or other yes, evolution will always take place..
