Frankly, I have never been a big evolution-believer, unless you can link it into Creation (which I think is possible, but that is another story.) Recently my daugher told me that we, as humans, are losing our canine teeth. They are no longer necessary and are slowly disappearing from the mouths of babies all over the world. I have no proof myself but she is smart and so I believe her.
There is one sign of evolution I have been noticing however. When my children's generation put the brakes on in the car, there is no simultaneous arm slap toward the person in the seat next to you. Every car generation through mine has moms who instinctively throw their arms across the person next to her when brakes are applied. This can be embarassing on a bus or train, but we cannot help it. Personally I am sure I have knocked the breath out of several people in my effort to protect them.
My children don't do that. Why would they? First, the kids are safely buckled in car seats behind them. An arm block would do no good whatsoever. Second, in a minivan or an SUV, the other person is far out of reach of that arm. Therefor, this is the first group of moms who have not developed that protective stance.
Is this a sign of evolution? Or is it something less? I report, you decide.
