Yes. Evolution is a continuous process. It happens to all populations of living things, even to human populations. However, it may occur at varying rates, depending on the size of the population and other circumstances, so it may not be immediately apparent that evolution is, in fact, happening.

This is the open system. It allows for evolution taking place in order to have the world look and act in the way that it does now.


Which event best indicates that evolution is still taking place?

The presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a clear indication that evolution is still occurring. As antibiotics are used more frequently, bacteria can develop mutations that make them resistant to these drugs, showcasing natural selection in action.

Are wisdom teeth an example of human evolution taking place right now?

Wisdom teeth are vestigial organs, which are organs that have lost their original or primary function. Wisdom teeth were used when humans had a primarily vegetative diet and needed to chew through thick vegetation. Rather than an example of evolution taking place, wisdom teeth reveal the remains of evolution.

Is Mankind evolving or is it too late?

Evolution is a phenomenon that is not fully understood but is believed to be continuous. This is very much an opinion based question, so I will take one of the more popular definitions of evolution to answer your question. The definition of evolution is that there is a change in a population through genetics that causes there to be such differences between the old and new population that they are no longer considered the same species. Evolution is believed to take place over very long periods of time where the main driver is selection of the most fit. If you look at todays society you may believe that these drivers no longer take place as we have such advanced medical care and there is no real competition for food or mates, therefore theoritcally all genes should be passed on. With this occurring in a population as long as the alleles are in equilibrium there will be no change in the population. So if this is what you believe then no evolution is not taking place for mankind. You may look at this in a different way where you believe that there is still some selection taking place due to the selection of mates. This would mean that genes are still being selected for just not at as rapid a pace. This would mean that yes evolution is still occurring. In either case though it would never be "too late" to start evolution it would simply require that selection for specific genes begin to take place.


What proof do we have evolution taking place?

Evidence for evolution includes the fossil record, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and observed instances of natural selection. These different lines of evidence all support the concept of biological evolution occurring over time.

How is evolution taking place in antibiotic and bacteria?

This may not be the answer you're looking for exactly, but evolution doesn't exist. Maybe the organisms have changed slightly over time (natural selection) but they did not completely evolve. God created them as they are.


What are some of the problems with Devolution?

There is no such thing as devolution, it is always evolution taking place, devolution is just a new word that usually spreads a very naive misconception about the evolution of man. About problems, can you please clarify your question? I personally find it incomprehensible.
