But for sure under your scenario evolution would continue in humans.But I still contend that without such a catastrophe we would see no change..... Unlike the previous 100,000 years which clearly have had substantial change without catastrophe When the environment is stable, then so are the species within the environment. It is true that with our technology we can keep our environment (or at least the inside of our homes) pretty constant even in the face of a new ice age or other weather phenomina. It's really quite usual and normal for a species to exist with little or no apparent change for millions of years and humans have barely begun on that kind of timespan. the previous 100,000 years Humans have not changed much in the past 100,000 years. There have been a few different blood groups (Type A or O- or whatever) and the relatively superficial skin color and eye shape type variations. Now, in the next 1000 years, if self sustaining Mars colonies are established, and for some political or technological reason contact between the planets is broken for 1000 generations, then we may see two distinct populations.
