>tens of thousands of years. That's a blink of an eye evolutionarily. I dunno about that. It seems we can gain major advances in evolution over just a few generations. Look, for example, at the rapid changes that have occurred in the West over the last century, particularly with regards to sexual maturation of healthier classes. This is clear evidence that evolution can happen a lot faster than we might imagine, even so. I don't find it difficult at all to imagine that the human genome alters itself over a period of, even a thousand years, in order to respond to the changing environment. We see examples of these shorter orders of magnitude throughout our history ..
