4 Ways Humans Are Still Evolving

The video explores human evolution, emphasizing that it is an ongoing process. It discusses gene variants and their role in evolution, highlighting recent human adaptations to environmental challenges, such as heat tolerance in Aboriginal Australians and arsenic tolerance in Andean populations. The video also examines genetic selection for height and against Alzheimer's-related alleles, suggesting that evolution continues to shape human populations.
