Are Humans Evolving

Its a common misconception that humans evolved.

Are humans evolving. Even more evidence that were continuing to change. Are humans still evolving. Genetic studies have demonstrated that humans are still evolving.

Heres how you can tell. The present day is merely a snapshot in time of our evolutionary journey both past and future. Lets take a look.

The expert consensus is unanimously yes however scientists say we might have the wrong idea of what evolution actually is. Yes humans are still evolving and have been doing it for millions of years just like every other species on the planet. Share on Facebook Share on Linkedin Image credit.

Only 01 of the human genome exhibits variation in other words we are 999 genetically identical. A newly published 1 study which analysed DNA from around 200000 participants over one or two generations showed that evolution appears to be weeding out harmful mutations from the population. Modern-day life has helped turn most of the.

Yet it is incorrect to say that humans as a whole must not still be evolving because of this as child mortality is unfortunately still significant in many places. The work published in PLoS Biology 1 analysed DNA from 215000 people and is one of the first attempts to probe directly how humans are evolving over one or two generations. We asked 12 experts whether humans are still evolving.

New genetic research shows humans are still evolving. Yes humans are still evolving. And we will continue to evolve until the point we either become an entirely new species or more likely manage to go extinct.
