Humans are still evolving, but changes are subtle and not easily observable within short timeframes. Factors like nutrition and interracial marriage contribute to gradual evolution, as seen in increased height and genetic diversity. Evolution requires significant environmental pressures, which are less pronounced in modern society due to advancements in technology and medicine. While some traits may appear advantageous, the concept of "superior" traits is subjective and context-dependent. Overall, evolution continues at a slow pace, influenced by societal changes rather than drastic physical transformations.

Question: Why aren't humans evolving? I know this might sound stupid, and I can see the progression from caveman to common day man, but we have lived, looking kind of the same, for sooo many years?(please correct me if I'm wrong

Are the people who have scientific mysteries with their bodies the ones who are evolving?

what do you mean by "the people with scientifc mysteries with their bodies"?

what about the idea the idea that people in sun drenched environment have evolved darker skin as a result of the chemcial that helps protect them from solar rays. Those who left (were forced out) of the relatively friendly environent towards colder climates, lost that pigment (how many more lighter skinned people have generated the ideas that have altered society. Fredriche Nietzche states (history is a genealogy of geniuses).
