This link describes apparently ongoing evolutionary traits in
the human brain:
http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7974
The evolution of a large, complex brain has been the defining feature of the human lineage – although human brain size has not changed over the past 200,000 years. But it is not apparent whether the new genetic adaptations discovered in human brains have any effect on brain size, or intelligence.
The very first two paragraphs...please...
There are changes in the human brain found by biologists! Have
biologist been dissecting the human brain for thousands of years
to make such a claim? This is a false statement, first paragraph
you are being lead to believe something that cannot have occurred.
Than the second paragraph another statement that the human brain
has not changed that much over the last 200K years...they know
this how too?
Science, faith in action, hidden by the use of the word evidence.

But they take endless pleasure in bashing science, even as it is saving or prolonging their lives.

justify how those time lines were used?
You believe, people have studied the human brain for thousands of
years by looking at it physically and can tell the differences today
that were not in the human brain a couple of thousand years ago.
Show me an example of the human brain 2 thousand years ago so
we can make that comparison! How about a 12k let alone a 200K
year old brain, lets put the examples side by side for a comparison
and see the differences! Where are you going to get your
examples...from someone some body found and dated that old, or
has there been an on going study that we have had data for all this
time? You have a great deal of faith in man if you believe this!

If you found a bag for a bowling ball 200,000 years old, you could tell what size and shape the bowling ball was that once was in it. Please read ONE book on science someday.

think it is that old according to the method of dating you like, another
may think that same sample could be 150K or 400K by the methods
they like. Do they have samples of human brains taken for a study
that has been going on for thousands of years too, or are we relying
on methods of dating for them too, just wondering about the control
of the samples used for that study too. I suppose it doesn't matter
to you, if it is from what we call science it has to be right.

Creationist: There is no real evidence for evolution because it doesn't appear in a neolithic myth. Your evidence is rubbish. I have no evidence to back my assertion but I'm going to rubbish you whatever you say.
ID-er: Your evidence is good apart from a couple of details. However, because your theory is less than totally perfect it means that my theory (for which I have no evidence what-so-ever) must be true.
Aardvarkhome: SOD OFF, REDNECKS. My children don't need your religiously inspired lies.
