| So would it be fair to say that evolution of humans has been halted by civilization?
Biologically, we are ALWAYS evolving. If our environment changes (i.e. we live in comfortable homes with 75° A/C temperature, and we sit around all day and eat Doritos) we will continue to adapt and change accordingly. If we are dying because of obesity and heart disease, eventually, natural selection will choose those who aren't affected by a sedentary life.Until we are perfectly suited to our surroundings (which is nearly impossible, as they are constantly changing) human evolution will continue to take place over thousands of years.
