  Scientists have grappled with the question are we still evolving? since the time of Darwin. In this book, Christopher Wills argues that people are not only continuing to evolve, but that their pace of change is accelerating. Wills explores evolution's mysterious ways - both visible and unseen - examining the rapid short-term evolutionary change taking place in people living at the earth's extremes and the new physiology of those who participate in extreme sports.
