    We're evolving at the rate that novel beneficial mutations can rise to fixation in the population through positive selection. Fixed it for you, @kanyewesthttps://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/988430865511301121 …

        my dude I was referring to DeGrasse-Tyson's reputation for needleesly and unecessarily applying scientific fact and logic towards things they don't require it. let Yeezy just wax philosophical and enjoy the fireworks

        Are we sure? Pretty soon we won’t even have to work - let alone struggle - to survive longer. How many generations before the lack of environmental stressors terminates the functioning of these increasingly obsolete human adaptations in favor of larger cranial capacity?

        I'm interested in your opinions on Carl Woese's "A new biology for a new century." Microbiol Mol Biol Rev. 2004 Jun;68(2):173-86. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15187180  Particularly Freeman Dyson's suggestion that we are entering "the end of the Darwinian interlude."
