    In the past 3,000 years, many populations have evolved genetic adaptations to their local environments. People in Siberia and the high arctic are uniquely adapted to survive extreme cold. The Bajau people can dive 70 meters and stay underwater for almost 15 minutes. So what are other recent changes? And will our technological innovations impact our evolution? Laurence Hurst investigates.

    Something I recently learned about our evolution reason we need wisdom teeth taken out is due to the changes in our jaws. Since we have been eating softer foods our jaws have been shrinking which hasn't left the room for the wisdom teeth to grow in. This is due to not needing the teeth. The shrinking of our jaws have allowed more room for our brains to develop further.

    Throughout my life, I noticed a subtle and rapid change. I was born in 1956 and at the time, babies were born with eyes closed and it took a few days to open them. Our daughters, today in their twenties, were born looking around for everything!
    I heard that this was already common, but my grandmother would be frightened. And it has occurred very fast, just a few decades.
    As always, excellent content and wonderful animation. Congratulations and very grateful!

      This is false. What is true though is that back in the day doctors used to put certain chemicals in babies eyes to kill of bacteria and infections, causing the baby to have sensitive eyes. That could've caused them to close. But human babies eyes do not have fused eyelids (like dogs e.g) after birth that they need to remain closed for days. Babies open their eyes for the first time at around 6 months, still in the belly.
