Then there's also Human Technological Evolution. It's how we are able to change our environments and ourselves to suit our needs. This is things like the computer, the internet, medical drugs, therapies, and so on. This evo. is independant of the other evo.s, and is also the fastest changing. In fact, it's so wide, varied, and fast that it's impossible to really know where we'll be in 100 years technology-wise, let alone the time it takes for regular evo. to take place.

This is an excellent and well written thread posting eXphon. That aside, I have to comment that I don't believe that the next ten years or even the next hundred years will see much human evolvement. Evolution is a slow process. On the other hand, our society, technology and science has evolved and will continue to evolve at a breakneck pace.
I can only hope that human intellect and reason can keep abreast with these developments and that we are able to use the information and technologies developed to this point with wisdom and foresight.
Increased medical technology actually reduces our evolutionary change.

Umm are you including genetics in that broad statement?
Increased use of medical technology actually reduces our natural evolutionary change.
It is truely the greatest source of "dis-information" in history.
