A "SCIENTIFIC" discussion on evolution theory

Thought I'd start a thread on evolution that actually discussed the science of it, without the thread being hijacked by creationists or intelligent design yahoos's, since I had oh so much fun on another thread that had very little to do with either. So, those of you with critical thinking skills, now's the time to buck up.
Evolution's been around for, what, a 150 years or so?
Where are we now, what's new, what's controversial, where does the science need to go from here?
Any anthropologists want jump in with a short history of discoveries that have lead up to the state of the art we are at now?
