> Humans haven’t developed mutations or superpowers just yet, but a new study shows our species is still evolving in unique ways and changes in natural selection could be the major reason. Ewwww. Why is university press the worst? If we are still evolving and this isn't just about genetic recombination then by definition mutations are involved. Also the publicist writes > This evolutionary trend will continue in those born 80 years from today, with the median artery becoming common in the human forearm. Wat. "Evolutionary intertia" probably has been defined by someone, but it's not that. It looks like this is a doubl-wammy misinterpration of the following quote, also from the press release: > “This increase could have resulted from mutations of genes involved in median artery development or health problems in mothers during pregnancy, or both actually. If this trend continues, a majority of people will have median artery of the forearm by 2100.” It could involve mutations and the trend could continue.
