So natural selection, through the trials and errors that occurred with different mutations, has brought [censored] sapiens, unquestionably the most intelligent and powerful species known in natural history, into existence.
Humans are smart enough to deal with different environmental changes through social programs, science and technology. If a new virus comes out that threatens human life, a cure will probably be developed before natural selection makes us immune to the disease. Were the temperature to suddenly drop, humans will build better insulation, and not eventually grow into a race of fat hairy people that deal with cold better.
So, is evolution over? It seems to me that intelligence has taken over where natural selection left off.
