Anal sex is a form of birth control, no?

Plus evolution is us adapting to an environment, we now adapt the environment to us. That and letting chicks vote pretty much stopped evolution.

Oh and evolution takes tens if not hundreds of thousands of years and gene changes in the last 200 years don't amount to squat.

Another factor is the weakening of natural selection. "In ancient times half our children would...

This is a really dumb analysis in my opinion.

Not to mention that it completely ignores the "non-Western" world. And also, that women in the Western world are having babies older than ever. Surely that also results in greater numbers of mutation?

I hope so. Otherwise, Morocco's version of the Maurie Povich show would get a bit repetitive.

Fathers over the age of 35 are more likely to pass on mutations, according to Professor Steve Jones, of University College London.

Speaking today at a UCL lecture entitled "Human evolution is OVAH!" Professor Jones will argue that there were three components to evolution - natural selection, mutation and random...
