Humans: Urban Apes That Are Still Evolving

Desmond Morris, Telegraph

"The scientific discovery, announced this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, that humans are still evolving, is about as surprising as saying that scientists have proved that water is wet. Of course we are still evolving. Humans, as I am on record as stating, are risen apes, not fallen angels. We are animals – extraordinary animals, but animals none the less. We breed, therefore we evolve.

The whole point about sexual reproduction – something (unlike pandas) we are rather good at – is that it keeps a species flexible. Each generation is the result of the breeding successes of the last generation. "
