Evolving Ourselves

How Unnatural Selection and Nonrandom Mutation Are Changing Life on Earth
Jul 10, 2015eferry rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
It's pretty obvious, once we think about it, that human evolution is not over. In the past hundred years, we've managed to treat and overcome some of the most common illnesses- see most childhood afflictions- which had previously wiped out huge numbers of children under 5. The authors are extremely optimistic about the future of humanity, and see all sorts of benefits for humanity once we've successfully figured out genetic manipulation- all concepts of environmental issues are brushed aside. This does allow for some interesting hypotheticals, but might leave some readers skeptical. Still, a thought-provoking read.
