Week 2 Research Proposal

What is my current topic?

 ‘Is human still evolving?’ is my current topic. My argument is that human is still evolving. I would like to persuade my argument to readers by showing them examples of products of evolution.

What are my guiding questions?

  What are natural selection and evolution? What are the evidences that we are still evolving? Why we had to adapt those evolutionary products? What are the recent changes to humans? In future, how would human being look like?  

What are my current thoughts?

 Like other species have showed evidence of recent evolution, human being would surely have experienced evolutionary process recently. I heard that humans are losing eyelids and hair. May be that can be related with evolution. I would like to emphasize to others that evolutionary process is not what have done but what is ongoing.

What is the opposition?
  

  Some people argue that humans have now stopped evolving in physical term as we overcame nature’s clutches. Sir David Attenborough says that “We stopped natural selection as soon as we started being able to rear 95–99 per cent of our babies that are born. We are the only species to have put a halt to natural selection, of its own free will, as it were.” He also insists that our evolutionary process will not be physical but cultural.
