In an attempt to identify the cradle of modern man, evolutionary theorists have formulated various theories on the origins of man. Among these theories, some attribute the origin of modern man to the first apes, while others argue that both man and the first apes evolved from primordial life forms. However, theorists claim that early humans survived thanks to natural selection. In this regard, primitive man underwent several changes to adapt to the environment. Those that failed to adapt to the environment became extinct. Therefore, evolution has become a necessity whereby species have recombined through sexual or genetic mutations to produce new species (Boeree, 2009). As such, modern man has evolved into his current form for over five million years. The process of evolution has been slow and gradual and it is reasonable to expect future changes in the human race. This article therefore evaluates whether the human race is still evolving. The environment has had the greatest impact on human evolution thus far. The first descendants of modern man lived in tropical and equatorial forests. Therefore, they were physically adapted to the environment, for example, their heads were elongated to allow for cooling and their skin and eyes were dark to protect from the radiation of the sun's rays (Internetlooks.com, n.d.). However, due to the vagaries of the weather, including global cooling and global warming, they have migrated from their original habitats. Different populations moved to different habitats so, by adapting to the new habitats, the populations acquired new physical characteristics inherited by their offspring. Therefore, several races have emerged including Whites, Indians, Dravidians… middle of the paper… Aesir will ensure greater longevity and better living standards for future generations, so they will have distinct physical characteristics. For example, evolutionary theorists hypothesize that men will have deeper voices, square jaws, and large penises while women will have smooth, hairless skin, firm breasts, and uniform features. In light of the evidence of evolution in the human race, it is tenable to say that the human race is still evolving and will continue to do so in the future. Works Cited BBC News. (2006).
