Summary Introduction

To review:

The traits evolved by the changes through the genetic drift and the ones, which evolve by the natural selection.

Introduction:

The genetic drift and the natural selection both are the processes of evolution. The genetic drift can be defined as the changes, which occur in the population due to a chance event. The natural selection can be defined as the changes in the population, which occur due to the selection of a specific trait by nature.

Do you think the human race is continuing to evolve in a Darwinian, genetic sense? Are the genes of our species changing? Do not just write "yes" or "no," but explain why you think so. In addition, include in your explanation of how the mechanisms of evolution, such as natural selection, would be at play.
