Part 5/6:
Our biological evolution is now somewhat slowed or offset by cultural advancements. For instance, medicine and sanitation have drastically reduced mortality from infectious diseases, which might otherwise have driven biological adaptations. Additionally, our food supply and living conditions now buffer us from environmental pressures that shaped earlier human evolution.
This complex interplay suggests that while our biological evolution continues, it does so at a much slower pace compared to cultural evolution. The profound societal changes over the past 12,000 years have effectively reshaped human life without necessitating dramatic genetic changes.
