According to a report in the latest issue of New Scientist magazine, the very act of hunting and fishing by humans is forcing some animals to evolve up to three times faster than they would naturally. I've got a few issues with this. First off, what is unnatural about man hunting and fishing? Unless you're a vegan, it's all a part of growing up on the planet. Secondly, if by "evolving", the eggheads mean steak will be tastier and sushi more succulent, boo ya! And lastly, man is unlikely to knock off knocking off our lesser-evolved cousins until deer start showing up that can spit poison or fish learn how to make and throw Molotov cocktails. Then we've got something to worry about.
