Yes. Evolution is happening every second of our lives to everyone and everything on this planet. Take for example our early stages of being homosapiens. Homosapiens first started walking hunched back. Today we walk upright because our culture require us to do so. Evolution isn't just based on DNA and genes. It is based on everything ranging from cultures to habits, from the food we eat to our way of life. If we take the hunch theory and use its concept and principle, then it is safe to say that human beings in the future will be physically weaker compared to early homosapiens. Why? Simply because our current and constantly evolving technology provides us massive amounts of comfort. A thousand years ago we had to run and hunt for food. Today we simply drive a car to the supermarket and walk along an aisle. Five hundred years ago we were throwing stones and hurling spears at enemies. Today we simply go through a stack of paper, get the President's approval, press several buttons, and missles are launched. A hundred years ago we were eating fresh farm food, free of any chemicals and biologicals. Today, our supermarkets are flooded with GMO's, food covered with pesticides and related viruses are spreading all over. All this affects the human body's structure over thousands of years. To put it simply, evolution basically means life adapting to the world. The world will never stop changing and thus, evolution will never stop. Regardless of galaxy, planet, lifeform or living conditions. I am not a PhD holder; I am just a college student studying engineering. I have a thirst for all science and languages and have read numerous books but have never had any formal education on this topic other than high school. I may be wrong about everything I have just presented but this is how I see science. I hope I have helped you in some way. =)
The next stage of human evolution is called homo sapiens sapiens. More accurately, evolution has no "stages". Species names are merely labels attached to a particular morphotype - and since morphologies are continuously changing, must be considered arbitrary. Although the force of natural selection is greatly reduced in the human species, we are still evolving. However, predicting what direction our evolution will take requires the consideration of so many factors that it can't really be done.
That is incorrect. Evolution IS important. It is a theory that states that a gradual, slow change happens within a species over a long period of time. Without evolution we might still be apes or something else. So Evolution is very far from being unimportant.
It is; evolution occurs on a timescale so long that nobody will ever notice until a comparison is made with, say, the 10-thousandth generation onward; then you might see something. It is being affected by the way life is lived now, though; people who would otherwise not survive are cared for and supported well past the time when they would have died, and so the species progessively weakens overall. The fact that mankind is caring for and supporting the people that would not survive without, is part of our evolution too. Species do what they must do to survive, and behaviour is subject to evolution as much as fysical features. I understand that, but I'm saying as to why don't we see cave men any more or monkey looking people? Monkys are still around, why not the other species of the evolution?
Adaptability is the answer. Only those species with specific traits that allowed them to quickly adapt to ever-changing circumstances were able to survive, while others were steadily but surely wiped out from existence.
Intermediate species forms, yes. A the taxa level, no. Still, not all taxa evidence is supportive of punctuation and stasis. Punctuated equilibrium is only one explanation of how evolution occurs in some species, not all species. The little shellies evidence gradualist processes very well.
Without evolution, the human race would still be swinging through the trees.
Because evolution does not exist and never did exist.
Human evolution is still hotly debated.The evolution from party-line telephones to personal cellphones has been amazing. In the evolution of a life, many events and experience shape a person.
I believe in evolution because we find so many fossils from the past and still no miracle from God has yet happened. I believe in creation because there is way more proof!!
Yes, just not to a very noticeable level. Evolution happens gradually, and over many generations. If you could compare us to humans a few thousand years from now (if humans are still around by then) chances are you will notice differences.

some cultures have hardly if at all evolved and still make finger paintings in australia
I study evolution because it is the concept that underlies all of biology. Biology would still be natural history without the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection is the overarching theory that underpins all of biology while explaining much about the fact of evolution. " Nothing in biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution. " Dobzansky.
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.
Because we are all still sinners and we all still need a saviour.
yes
