If human evolution is real, is there any people that is evolving today? Where are these that were the results of evolution? Who are these people there were the results of evolution? Where do these people live? What do they eat? Do they cook their food?

Not really anymore, in our industrialized society, natural selection is no more, and so evolution is sort of on a plateau for human beings. As for the debate about if it exists, I believe it does, everything changes, things can't stay the same, everything changes, and so evolution exists. Nothing can remain dormant and unchanged, everything must change or nothing would work.

Yes everything changes but if you say that because everything changes then evolution is real is there any ape today changes to human?

We didn't evolve from the apes that are living today. We evolved from a unique type of ape that does not exist anymore because natural selection caused it to evolve into us. We are that ape now. The other apes could possibly evolve into some other form of intelligent life later on, maybe even some sort of hairy humanoid being that walks on all fours still, but is intelligent, who knows.

yes evolution is still a process that happens today. but in small traces, evolotion that 100's of year to be concidered a change but in animal the adeptaion in quite noticable. fish of the cost of california have under gone a change from scales to smooth skin frogs are evolving to survie in colder climates up north, even humans over the last few decades are adapting to newer diets and breaking down protiens better then before, and of course living longer. small little changes. but there are things wrong with the evolutionary theroy. There really are no true anwsers I think to the ultimate question on why we exsit, some say god some say evolotion but evryone has good points and for every good point there is someone there to add somthing to put a hole in it. I am not sure really what you were asking? I don't know if you were just making a statement or asking, but thats my thoughts on it anyway.

Not trying to be mean and I hope it does not come across this way and a reason I should never get envolved in converstions like this. but I think what I was saying is we are the product of evolution. the human species is still evolving.

Human evolution is real just as all other life on this planet is a product of evolution. The only life forms that are not evolving are those that are extinct. If you are looking for the end product of human evolution look to yourself. All life on planet earth shares a common ancestor and has evolved to the form they are today. If there ever was any doubt about this the science of genomics and molecular biology has dispelled it.

Yes humans are still evolving and at an even more faster pace than ever before mainly because of the population explosion going on world wide. It is affecting how we look, eat, longevity, and succeptance to certain diseases.

Well, yes, humans are evolving. VEEEEEERRRRRRY slowly. Now, you can answer those questions by looking at your life style. Do you cook your food? We are the evolved versions of our ancestors.

If human evolves very slowly, it will take how many years for an ape to evolve to a man, and where are those apes? and where are those people that is from apes?
