Are we humans now the ultimate in evolution Have we homo sap

Are we humans now the ultimate in evolution? Have we homo sapiens managed to augment or even interfere with the natural processes of our evolution? If so, are we now beyong the reach of, or still subject to , evolutionary forces?

Solution

Evolution is a continuous process and humans are still evolving. We cannot state that \"humans are ultimate in evolution,\" because the natural selection may lead to the evolution of animals smarter than humans. In one way it is true that humans are interfering with the natural forces of evolution because of growing health facilities. The increased health care also increased the life span and reduced the death rate. But still, we are subjected to evolutionary forces, some of the examples include, development of lactose resistance, increasing incidence of metabolic syndrome, losing wisdom teeth, shrinkage of brain size, etc. Researchers also reported that the rate of evolution is occurring at a faster rate than previous.
