Could hedgehogs evolving to avoid cars be a sign of ongoing evolution?

I have read "pop" books from the experts.

Sean B. Carroll has addressed the role of DNA in his book, “The Making of the Fittest”. He even has an excerpt on the web.

Martin Kenneth Jones has written about:
“The molecule hunt: Archaeology and the search for ancient DNA.”, London: Allen Lane
Those educated in the new field of Bioarchaeology are probably aware of the work being done at …

The George Pitt-Rivers Laboratory for Bioarchaeology accommodates a diverse range of projects from various parts of the world.

I'm sure that evolution is still going on and that the researchers will be presenting us many surprises in the near future.

There was a snippet on a T.V. programme yesterday regarding hedgehogs.Unfortunately a lot of them get killed on U.K. roads because most of them. freeze when headlights are approaching.Apparently, however, it has been recently noticed that more of them make a run for it and avoid getting squashed.Hopefully this running reflex is passed on.Is this a nice example of evolution at work?
