You're pointing out the obvious. I know that people use the word "evolution" to mean more than a change in genetic makeup over the course generations, but if you read the first post, you'll see it deals with human evolution according to the biological term. The evolution of modern styles of music, for example, is not the topic and when someone believes that it is, they're misunderstanding the thread.
