Thanks for the comments. I missed the two earlier threads that include much interesting discussion.
The comments made me understand that my first post was unclear. The original question included in fact three different questions:
-
do humans as a species continue to evolve? This question was discussed in the previous threads.
-
is evolution affecting modern (human) societies? Although this is linked to the first question, it is a separate question.
-
if evolution is shaping humans as a species and societies are changing, what is the direction of evolution - how different are the future generations and societies compared to what we see now?
This includes the question whether the direction of evolutionary change has shifted during the last century?
