# ^This.
You know some experts reckon this is as far as humans are going to evolve, as we are building our world to suit us so well?

# If what they've said is true (and I see no reason to quarrel with it)
then it is likely that our continued manipulation of the environment might put increased pressure on other species to survive, thereby triggering further evolution among them than might otherwise be the case.
(if that makes any sense)

# I can see where you're coming from.
With all the deforestation and whatnot, animals, even as we speak, are evolving; maybe not physically but they are adapting to their ever-changing habitat.

I can see animals like pandas, who rely on us, becoming more... domesticated?

# related to that
I'd like to see an image challenge re: animals/creatures evolving physically and/or behaviorally to compete in the human world. I suggested it but it didn't make the grade.

# That'd be an excellent challenge for next week.
Lot of mileage in that one.
