Wisdom teeth disappear and arteries are added as human beings enter next stage of evolution

Study finds our anatomy has evolved faster than any time in the past 250 years. 

When I was a boy it was genuinely believed that the human race was not evolving anymore because of medicines and vaccines stopping the vulnerable from dying, but it seems we are still evolving.

I hope we are evolving into kinder creatures too. 

Babies are no longer being born with wisdom teeth as the human race continues to evolve faster than at any time in the past 250 years, according to a study.

  1. For transhumanists, evolution can't happen fast enough.
    For antinatalists, evolution is a process with horrible outcomes.

    Can't say I disagree...

  4. Meanwhile, with all the advancement of medicine and medical technology, humans are living no longer than their ancestors from 2000 years ago. Average human lifespan should be at least 120 by now. It's way below that.

  5. Living past the age of 85 is mostly genetic.
