Yeah, absolutely. I think sometimes people kind of think we're done. We've reached this ultimate point of evolution. We've finished evolving. But as long as there are things that are affecting our ability to reproduce, we're going to continue to evolve. And especially once you have this introduction of new genetic variation.

I mean, some of the greatest adaptations in the history of humans have come from the introduction of new genetic material. So like the Tibetan high altitude adaptation is actually believed to have arisen from the crossing of humans with another early hominid group called Denisovans. So we essentially stole... the advantageous genes from this other group.
