The Sun: Evolution of man in 1000 years

Regarding the picture: yuck!<p>Many of these traits seem like Lamarckian drivel. Taller because we get good nutrition? That's current genetics being expressed, not evolutionary pressure.<p>The intestines may be spot on, perhaps obese people reproduce less for numerous factor (though I don't know I've ever seen a study on this, it may be true). The requirement here would be that the reason people are obese is they ingest too much sugar and fat.<p>Quadruple chins? I don't see the reasoning being valid here.<p>The the interested: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamarkism" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamarkism</a> Basically: cutting the tails off dogs at birth won't result in no-tailed dogs being born after a few generations.

Yea, just to be clear. there is no evidence that the appearance of human beings has changed since the beginning of recorded human history ie the oldest known drawings/paintings look just like we look now.

Now just to be clear: This is a complete load of bull. I don't think whomever wrote this article has an iota of understanding of evolution. But it's good for a laugh!
