The past 10,000 years have seen rapid skeletal and dental evolution in human populations, as well as the appearance of many new genetic responses to diet and disease.
migrations into new European and Asian environments created selective pressures favoring less skin pigmentation (so more sunlight could be absorbed through the skin to make Vitamin D), adaptation to cold weather and dietary changes.
example of a genetic adaptation to human culture involves the gene that makes the milk-digesting enzyme lactase.
gene normally stops activity about the time a person becomes a teenager, but northern Europeans developed a variation of the gene that allowed them to drink milk their whole lives a relatively new adaptation that is directly tied to the introduction of domestic farming and use of milk as an agricultural product Excerted from: news.yahoo.com My point is to believe in micro evolution is to believe in evolution. Anything else is nitpicking IMO. If you believe in micro evolution how can you not believe in evolution?? Why does it bother me? Because I don't want religious teaching disguised by the title “intelligent design” taught to my children in school.
Christian Right wants to sneak in theology in a science class and thats just wrong.
