    technically, we are, but nobody will really notice it. We are evolving very slowly. In 1 to 2 thousand years our lungs will have a filtration system, because we are adapting to a polluted environment.

    Mankind doesn't need longer teeth or sharper claws.

    Heterosexuals ensure the continuation of our species. Gay folk ensure human evolution by their effect on society.

    Think of living in a world in which the following gay folk had not lived: Socrates, Plato, Beethoven, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Jean-Jacques-Régis de Cambacérès (author of the Napoleonic Code, i.e. the law of France and many other places, basis of much other European law, incl. modern German law), Immanuel Kant, Schopenhauer, the Wright Brothers (invented the airplane,made the first heavier than air flight), Felix Hoffmann (discoverer of Aspirin and heroin, also diamorphine, still prescribed by physicians to kill extreme pain), Cecil John Rhodes (after whom two countries were named, for a while the granary of Africa: Northern and Southern Rhodesia, now Zambia and Zimbabwe).

    Robert Hooke, architect and polymath, important in the scientific revolution, especially in mechanics, invented several scientific instruments still in use, discovered the law of elasticity.
