To a very low extent, yes.

Yes, natural selection still occurs in humans. Evolutionary changes are still happening in human populations, driven by factors like differential reproductive success, genetic mutations, and environmental pressures. Some examples are the spread of lactose tolerance and resistance to certain diseases.

Sociobiology is the application of natural selection to human society Humans are the product of natural selection at the individual level and the product of evolution at the population level, so the human generated society is influenced by the natural selection of individual humans.
accelerated rates of natural selection due to human involvement.. natural selection caused by human intervention.
In many ways. For one thing, evolution and natural selection are mindless processes; they act without regard for the rights to happiness or life of the individual. On the other hand, human civilization has throughout history tried as much as possible to move away from blind forces of nature like natural selection, and as a result, human populations now may harbour many genes that would, under less civilized circumstances, have detrimental effects on human survival chances.
Natural selection is still happening to humans, but it takes thousands of years to notice big changes, which is why it may seem like it isn't happening at all. But trust me, it is. On average, if you look back in our history, one thing humans have done on average, especially in the Black and Caucasian races, is they have gotten taller. The average height of a human female, for example, about 300 years ago was 5'2'', and now average is about 5'5''.
