Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes?

Tim in Minnesota asks: "Have humans reached their final evolutionary form?"



No. Because our eyes don't perceive the hour hand moving on a clock doesn't mean it isn't moving. Likewise, because we haven't detected major physical changes in the human form for a few thousand years doesn't mean that evolutionary forces still aren't at play. We know from fossil records that physical characteristics of various species evolved according to use and need over a long span of time. Applying this knowledge to Homo sapiens anthropologists have predicted, given our growing fixation on sex, and decreasing dependency on using our brains, that 100,000 years from now our heads will have shrunk to the size of a grapefruit, women will have size 42EE breasts, and the male penis will average 24 inches in length.
Many males are encouraged and more optimistic about the future of humankind after hearing this.
