   Valid point, humans actually have stopped evolving.  In the good ol 
days, a near-sighted person would have been lunch for a smilodon, but now 
he gets glasses, thus passing the near-sighted gene to his off spring.  
(sorry to offend any near-sighted ppl out ther, I have atshma and thus 
would have been killed off too).  Humans have eliminated their own natural 
selection because we feel sorry for anyone with a medical or physical 
problem.  One day we will be the sickest species around.  One can only 
hope for genetic engineering...
