Something else just came to my mind, that I would like to add to the discussion. As mentioned before, in order to have some kind of evolutionary process there has to be selection, i.e. individuals need some kind of edge to be able to reproduce. It seems to me that for humans (at least in the developed countries) there is no such pressure anymore - every individual is able to reach puberty and reproduce itself as long as there are no severe physical or psychological handicaps.
So my point is, I think that human evolution has stopped or that we are even regressing - consequently down to a level slightly above of being too dumb or too crippled to actually have sex and raise children. Any opinions?
