As a species we need more stress to get evolution to shape us harder. We are cheating! And there is a price to pay to evolution, as a species. From a single specimen perspective, yes, life is fantastic these days.
Evolution is too slow to care about anyways. If we artificially added heavy evolutionary pressure, we might see results in ten thousand years or so. Do you really think it will take that long to figure out how to do it better and more precisely manually?
You would not believe how fast speciation become under stress. And right now humanity has power to create new species quite literally. Question is, will it use these tools to speed up its own evolution or not?
