Humans still evolving?!?

Submitted by Kendra on Sat, 10/06/2007 - 12:42pm.
I found the class discussion on evolution fascinating. I have always had an interest in evolution and how it happens etc. It was very interesting to learn that humans are only at a stage in evolving and although I did not understand why at first, I soon learned that it makes sense. Using prokaryotic cells and other bacteria as an example, the specimens that were found millions of years ago were not the same as the ones that exist today. They evolved. So, it would make sense to realize that humans are still evolving. Though this process takes thousands and thousands of years it really makes me wonder...into what will humans evolve?

I also found it interesting the discovery of a small layer of iridium. I just thought it was cool that it is very rare on Earth yet common in meteors. 

I hope we go into more detail in class about humans still evolving...
