That’s the same erroneous assumption we discussed last month. Humans may be exhibiting a widening range of SNPs and slight gene variances, but that does not mean that we are evolving at a faster rate. It just means that mutations and changes are not selected out and that normal “drift” happens at a greater rate due to sheer numbers. In fact, since there is no longer any effective selection pressure on our species (no predators, no real threat of starvation forcing us to adapt anew) and a nearly unlimited ability to reproduce, we have ceased to evolve in the truest Darwinian sense. The only two possible traits that appear to have been somewhat selected for in the past 10,000 years are a continued lactose tolerance among some herders (which isn’t even really an adaptation when you realize that we are all lactose tolerant through much of childhood – and when you also look at other possible factors like the effect of WGA on gut turnover) and a possible increase in salivary amylase production I hear mentioned occasionally (pretty weak). That’s it. Everything else on us is supposed to work exactly as it evolved through the first 60,000,000 years – of which 2 1/2 million was “human” evolution, and up until 10,000 years ago, after which time there was no more selection pressure…just bad food choices, too-close living conditions, industrialization and the Internet.

That’s why the Modern Blueprint so closely emulates the Primal Blueprint. Give me one example of a Modern lifestyle behavior or food that would differ (in principle) from a Primal behavior.
