- Summary:
- Many scientists had assumed that humans stopped evolving when we started insulating ourselves from the whims of nature. But the mapping of the human genome means that scientists now have a history of our evolution. Astonishingly, not only have humans continued to evolve over the past 50,000 years, we may have been evolving more quickly than at any time in our history. Dr Alice Roberts finds out how we could evolve in the future and asks if we can control the evolution of plants and animals, can we control our own evolution?
