    "As our evolution slows and industrialization and technology accelerates, a growing body of research suggests that human biology is struggling to keep pace"

    I don't know if human evolution is really slowing but I think that modern medicine and healthcare does reduce evolutionary pressure by reducing "natural selection".

    I suspect that culling the slowest 10% in a texting competition at the end of high school, before people usually reproduce, would be frowned upon.
