=== Exhibit D: Evolution can be fast ===
*Human evolution did not slow in any way  50,00 years ago, but instead increased in pace, reaching a peak around 12,00 years ago. Massive environmental and cultural change should be accounted for “in our attempts to understand who we are, and how we got our righteous minds”
**Stephen Jay Gould from a 2000 interview, “natural selection has almost become irrelevant in human evolution” because cultural change works much faster than genetic change.
***Gould add in the same interview, “there’s been no biological change in humans in 40,000 or 50,000 years. Everything we call culture and civilization we’ve built with the same body and brain.”
**However, the results of a study by Soviet scientist, Dmitri Belyaev, through his selective breeding process of foxes, was able to selectively bred for tameness and saw success in as few as ~30 generations.
*The question surrounding the rate of change in the human genome has been answered by geneticists, who claim that genetic change accelerated since 50,00 years ago.
**we can notice how lactose tolerance and altitude acclimated populations
**Cultural influence can outpace genetic co evolution, but is still possible "selection pressures will apply and there could be some additional gene-culture coevolution"
