Some examples are using antibiotics and creating antibiotic resistentgerms, using pesticides and creating pesticide-resistent bugs, creatingnylon followed by (decades later) bacteria evolving which could breakit down, as well as chemicals in TNT which caused the evolutionof new bacteria in military bunkers.

These are just ones that I know about and I'm not a biologist - butdoubtless we've caused more slight changes than we could ever imagine,they're just extremely difficult to detect.

Just polluting the ocean must effect ocean life - not just fishes etc,but the thousands of microorganisms in each drop of water.

We've probably caused millions if not billions of evolutionarychanges. Which isn't neccesarily bad, all organisms effect otherorganisms.
