We are a self-evolving species

[from: here]
"Dr. Moyzis said it was widely assumed that once people developed culture, they protected themselves from the environment and from the forces of natural selection. But people also had to adapt to the environments that their culture created, and the new analysis shows that evolution continued even faster than before."

Makes sense!
If evolution has to do with the interplay between the environment and organisms, then since we massively alter our environment (physically and culturally), the whole process might as well be feeding on itself... :>
