Interesting and concise review of recent thinking about human evolution. Documents the scientific and historical basis for the theory that human evolution is not only continuing but, as a result of a variety of cultural and technological factors, accelerating. (Calls to mind the book/film "2001 A Space Odyssey' a bit)
