This news article relates to an old s.b.e. f.a.q.:

``Study finds humans still evolving, and quickly''

The advantage of all but about 100 of the genes remains
a mystery, said University of Wisconsin-Madison anthropologist
John Hawks, who led the study. But the research team was
able to conclude that infectious diseases and the
introduction of new foods were the primary reasons that
some genes swept through populations with such speed.''

I'd rather have the evolution of 10,000 years ago, if not 50,000 years
BP.

How about our going all the way back to when we had those really nifty
physical features, and we were getting born a whole lot smarter than
we get today.

It just looks that way. Actually, we just get more stupid with age.
