Pretty Soon We'll All Have Boy AND Girl Parts

Posted by Emily Farris

Okay, probably not so soon, but according to Wired, Mormons humans are evolving faster than ever.

In the study, researchers analzyed [sic] genomes from 270 people belonging to four disparate ethnic groups: Han Chinese, Africa's Yoruba tribe, Japanese and Utah Mormons. By comparing areas of difference and similarity, they determined that about seven percent of the genome has undergone significant change since the end of the last Ice Age...

"Evolution is a double-edged sword," he said. "What evolution cares about is that I have more offspring. If you can do it by charming and manipulating, and I'm a hardworking farmer that's going to feed the kids ten years down the road, then you're going to win. Hit-and-run, irresponsible males are reproducing more. That isn't good for anyone except those males, but that's evolution."

What we gather this means for us ("us" being humankind, not "us" as in Scanner Bryan and Scanner Emily) is that all the babies we accidentally make will quickly evolve to endure the world that we will have destroyed with Global Warming. Or maybe we can start making human-robot hybrid babies. That would be cool.
