Isn't it funny how I mention evolution yesterday and then yahoo pops up with a story from Time magazine about human evolution today? The article discusses several studies that argue that humans are still evolving (despite some experts opinions that we have stopped). One in particular looked at reproductive evolution in females in a small town in Massachusetts and found some interesting correlations between women's size and health and how successful they are at having children. Evidently a lady with a little more to love has an easier time getting pregnant that 5% body fat super models :) They also touch on several keystone arguments such as how quickly we have adapted to lactose tolerance and certain populations have developed a resistance to malaria.
