  It's important to realize that nothing about human evolution has to do with chance and necessity acting on random variation. Even trivial adaptive mechanisms were in place from the start, awaiting the trigger of their expression. Rather, the record of human history has all the hallmarks of a front-loaded program. I tend to believe that the last function in that program has been executed already. We may see some very very trivial adaptive changes, but that will be the extent of it.
