This story provides an example of the co-evolution of human genes and human culture. Which mechanisms led to the evolution of lactase persistence in humans?
In an interview in 2000, Harvard paleontologist and science writer Stephen Jay Gould said,"Natural selection has almost become irrelevant in human evolution...Everything we call culture and civilization, we've built with the same body and brain." Might humans still be evolving? How would modern life, so dominated by technology has affected and is affecting human evolution?
