When I was young, many of my peers did not reach puberty until late teens or early twenties, some in their early teens; we read that 500 years ago in England, they reached puberty in their twenties—now it is early and pre-teens?
If we look at animals, we see little has changed. They still look the same, run and jump at the same rates as they have always done. In humans, we see changing shapes, athletic abilities are far in excess of what they could do 500 years ago—even in the healthiest of well fed athletic people. These changes are not just the result of training, but of the still evolving human species. Clothing manufacturers report considerable shape and height changes, surely this is not just hybrid-vigour from gene variations of transmigration. Hybrid-vigour in stock produces heavier meat animals and possibly does so in humans. That may account for obesity, but not for the changing shape and athletic abilities. These changes indicate humans are still evolving, as the last creatures still developing on this planet.
