Would you people get it right?

Evolution does not stop due to technology, any more than gravity was halted or eliminated by the airplane. Random mutations, gene doubleing, HERVs, etc ... are still adding to genetic change. The selection pressures are merely slightly different.

As an occasional teacher of environmental sceince courses, I would not be so sure that the ordinary selection pressures are so far away either.
