SUMMARY:Is Human Evolution Over? - Professor Steve Jones\, University Coll

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nMany people - Darwin included - have claimed that 
 the human species will continue to evolve in the future\, as it has in the
  past. That notion gave impetus to the eugenics movement\, and to much of 
 modern science fiction. I will argue that\, given what we know about the D
 arwinian processes of natural selection and random change in our own speci
 es\, that adaptive evolution is - for the time being\, and at least in the
  developed world - more or less over.
