Evolution in action: humans
Skeptical Inquirer, March-April, 2008 by Henry Harpending
"I was raised with the belief that modern humans showed up 40,000 to 50,000 years ago and haven't changed. The opposite seems to be the case. Our species is not static.... Rapid population growth has been coupled with vast changes in cultures and ecology, creating new opportunities for adaptation. The past 10,000 years have seen rapid skeletal and dental evolution in human populations, as well as the appearance of many new genetic responses to diet and disease."
--Anthropologist Henry Harpending, University of Utah, quoted in an Associated Press article by Randolph E. Schmid, and in a paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
