Isolation really doesn't work for us any more. It doesn't exist in most of the world. The places where it does are marked by lots of inbreeding, which just makes dominant traits already held within the group even more prevalent, and relatively small geographic areas where not much changes.
This is what Niven was talking about when he said "evolution stops when civilization starts". Our DNA doesn't need to change much, if at all, in order to survive, and when it does we work hard to eradicate those changes. We like ourselves the way we are, and we have the ability to thwart most attempts to change things.

MARK say: LMAO! You got nothing right. Even at the end you should have said in your face evolutionary biologists.
You have made two common errors of the ignorant. You incorrectly assume humans have stopped evolving. You also believe that humans are the end goal of evolution.
If you think we are so important how long do you think we would last without oxygenic photosynthesisers. I will tell you because you will not know. It is not very long on the geological timescale.
I wonder if you have heard of something called E D U C A T I O N.

Gerber say: Evolution is pure horse sh!t, It's a tale.

Amy say: Evolution stopped in the late 21st century when humans destroyed not only themselves but also all the other species on the planet.

Rebecca say: ill explain it simply for your small mind, we haven't stopped evolving, we are constantly evolving and getting smarter but signs of useful adaptions and mutations can take thousands of years to show, way past your lifetime. I mean, look at animals and dogs, look at how we have been selectivley breeding them, this shows a kind of forced way of evolution and how dogs have come a long way from wolves into many different forms, just as we evolved from small microbes in the beginning of life on earth.

The Donald say: It isn't. Our brains and heads are getting bigger.
