  • That last bit is quite deep but let us not forget Merckx was a doper. But I do agree: accidents at a DNA level over millions of generations gave us us, and accidents and so evolution continues to occur. Firmly believe in genetic freaks. Humans don't stand still evolutionary speaking.

  • Humans don't stand still evolutionary speaking

    They've been parked for a long time now. Don't confuse freaks with populations, or epigenetics with genetics. Large populations and rampant miscegenation (sapiens couldn't even keep his hands of neanderthalenis, or vice versa) makes any substantial population wide evolution unlikely for the time being, but outliers will always occur and technology (training and nutrition) can reveal human potential which was always there but not previously expressed.
