There is evidence that human evolution is actually speeding up since the dawn of agriculture.
"...scientists can study the changes in the frequency of an allele occurring in a tiny subset of the population over a single lifetime, the shortest meaningful time scale in evolution"[0]
>humans have been biologically the same for around 200,000 years.
Human evolution did not abruptly stop. It has continued. [1]
>any real evolutionary changes are so small that they practically don't exist
Evolution can occur in tiny changes and large changes. Most changes are adaptive evolution which changes the species over time. [2]
