I sorta felt like I was getting smarter this past week. Know I know why.
Two genes involved in determining the size of the human brain have undergone substantial evolution in the last 60,000 years, researchers say, leading to the surprising suggestion that the brain is still undergoing rapid evolution.

The discovery adds weight to the view that human evolution is still a work in progress, since previous instances of recent genetic change have come to light in genes that defend against disease and confer the ability to digest milk in adulthood.
Clearly, this explains the recent rise in popularity of professional wrestling, chicken wings, and Paris Hilton.
