So... more of the same, just different;

I accept my glasses as an enhancement to my humanity. Same for dental fixtures. But that's not what you meant by "continuation of evolutionary pressure".

If anything it's a different animal that being pressurized the last 100 years. The one singularity that everybody knows was K-T extinction (meaning the extinction of dinosaurs at the boundary between the Cretaceous period (K) and the Tertiary period (T)). This evolutionary implosion, that extinguished more than 50% of all known species living at that time, happened "in a knick of the time" (less than 2 million years or so;@).

What I mean, we have a different clock ticking, and yes, evolution, but in a sense that does not have anything much to do with the shape of Galapagos finches' beaks.
