Humans continue to evolve with the emergence of new genes [View all]

New research is shedding new light on the evolution of modern humans — a process that continues, millions of years after the evolutionary split from our primate ancestors.

Researchers have now added to the existing body of knowledge to create a genetic map that compares human beings to other vertebrates, finding that a host of newly identified genes are entirely unique to humans.

Additionally, scientists say these findings could help them better understand the role that genetics play in certain diseases.

Much more study needs done but I find this fascinating. I remember my senior year of High School and our science teacher told us that one day, our small toe would not be needed thanks to evolution. Quite a surprise then, it was a catholic school but it did open my eyes that there is more than the bible to explain how we got to where we are. Maybe I am an odd one but I think there is room for both. Being open minded is a good thing IMHO
