I agreed up until this. Of course, I disagreed with my evolutionary biology profs in college, too, on this subject.
These adaptations and others are still operating and still changing. They're not a point in time change to us, they're a bell curve of adaptation over time. We're adapting in some measure right now to things like modern technology, although technology may continue to be a moving target long enough that we'll never finish adapting before it changes again.
Modern humans are just animals in a rectilinear jungle, still evolving, adapting, and changing.
