End of evolution
The same, according to Professor Steve Jones from the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment at University College London.
He has said that human evolution is slowing down and we are as evolved as we are ever likely to become.
Evolution is driven by natural selection and mutation, in harsh environments where people are in competition to survive.
In most of the world outside Africa, we are living longer and having less children later in life.
The raw material of evolution is being depleted, so there's only so much left to change.

World record sandwich? Iranians eat evidence !!!
Iran failed Friday to register what it said would be the world's largest sandwich in the Guinness book of World Records after people rushed forward and began eating it -- before it was measured.
Event organizers had planned to stuff the 1,500-meter-long sandwich with 700 kg of ostrich meat and 700 kg of chicken, and display it in a park in the capital Tehran.
But as the sandwich was being measured, chaos ensued. The giant snack was gone in minutes, a Reuters witness said, leaving the three Guinness representatives present with a dilemma.
One of the event's organizers said video footage of the sandwich would be sent to Guinness officials.
Man marries himself

Liu Ye, 39, from Zhuhai city, married a life sized foam cut-out of himself wearing a woman's bridal dress.

Guess which elephant is bigger
They are all the same size. If you don't believe it, try measuring them with a ruler.
The illusion makes use of two devices to suggest distance - the perspective lines receding to a vanishing point and the use of shading. Because these features cause the eye to think that the darkest elephant is nearer, we assume it will appear largest. The fact that the lightest shade of elephant appears larger fools us into thinking it is actually a bigger elephant.

Our Milky Way Like You've Never Seen It Before
It looks like a lunar landscape but this remarkable photograph actually shows our Milky Way and the planet Jupiter in all their glory - viewed from a cave in America's Utah desert.
This photo, was captured by photographer Wally Pacholka using a 35mm camera and 50mm lens on a tripod with a 30-second exposure - long enough to collect the light but not to see the stars moving.
