Is human evolution speeding up or slowing down?

Speeding up

It's ending. Soon it will intelligent design that will shape human mind and soul and transcend the the species and carbon limitations of the human genus.

>Soon
You will be long dead before we see anything close to that happening. In the meantime natural selection will continue as normal.

It's basically non-existent. Currently, humans are subject to very few selective pressures, and mutations and genetic drift alone can't drive evolution.

Slowing down because globalization and mixing. Humans are regressing towards a average across populations. Evolutionary innovations need isolated populations.

in evolutionary terms? yes, soon, very soon actually

I find it amazing how shallow the average 4channer understanding of any subject is.
Like you guys sit at the border of the pool and think you're actually diving deep into the ocean.

The indian and chinese excess of males is not unknown after war and in tribalistic societies it is not uncommon for most males to never procreate while the leaders do.

It's going faster than ever. 10B people and rising exponentially + brutal economic darwinism culling more people/time than ever before. You can literally see humans evolve in your lifetime that's how fast it goes.
Here an example of gookland the pressure to look white instead of ape is so immense that the darkies have been weeded out in just 100 years and the few light skinned ones have been exploded to fill the gap. Evolutionary change is genocide and replacement.

so if this continues for hundreds of years, then even if we have excess males in the future, they should at least be more fit than current excess males, right?

In hundreds of years humanity will diverged into different clades of beings. The most powerful one will be digital superintelligences, followed by Moravec bodies and gene augmented hybrids. Baselines humans will be irrelevant in the scales of powers.

Yet you can’t deny that something without our guidance or awareness got us to this point. And this timeless power, even if destroyed by a weird material power, will manifest throughout the universe, popping up like budding flowers, waiting to inherit its own space

A agree that it's so racist to say that out hairy tree dwelling ancestors were inferior to us. They were just like us.

Chuds will love this book until they get to the last chapter (I think it was chapter 7, could be wrong though read it years ago. It was definitely the last chapter though). Where he starts extolling the genetic and inherent superiority of the Jewish people. Then Chud seething will begin and the book will suddenly become trash woke propaganda.

But jokes aside, this book is unironically bad and an extreme oversimplification of human genetics. It is the same level of insightful as "Sapiens" by Harari. They handpick some correct anthropological data but end up concocting incorrect conclusions and stories from it anyways. I wouldn't take it too seriously apart from absorbing the raw anthropological and genetic observations in there.
