“…Historical and cultural isolation can also result in barriers to gene flow. We can observe the genetic isolation of ethnic groups, like the bigoudens in Brittany (Salmon et al 1986 ), the Pomaks of northern Greece (Panoutsopoulou et al 2014 ), and the people in the Val Borbera valley (Italy) (Colonna et al 2013 ) without geographical barrier. Language minorities in the Eastern Alps show reduced genetic diversity and genetic isolation (Capocasa et al 2013 ).…”

It is often claimed that humanity has stopped evolving because modern medicine erased all selection on survival. Even if that would be true, and it is not, there would be other mechanisms of evolution which could still led to changes in allelic frequencies. Here I show, by applying basic evolutionary genetics knowledge, that we expect humanity to evolve. The results from genome sequencing projects have repeatedly affirmed that there are still recent signs of selection in our genomes. I give some examples of such adaptation. Then I briefly discuss what our evolutionary future has in store for us.
