THE END OF BELIEF:
Sir David Attenborough says humans have stopped evolving (James Meikle, 9/09/13, The Guardian)
"We stopped natural selection as soon as we started being able to rear 90-95% of our babies that are born. We are the only species to have put a halt to natural selection, of its own free will, as it were," he tells this week's Radio Times."Stopping natural selection is not as important, or depressing, as it might sound - because our evolution is now cultural ... We can inherit a knowledge of computers or television, electronics, aeroplanes and so on."
