For millions of years, evolution was basically nature saying, “Adapt or good luck out there.” Now? Humanity has entered its DIY era. According to researchers like Tim Waring, culture and technology might be rewriting the rules faster than genetics ever could. Instead of waiting generations to adapt, we just invent something—glasses, medicine, central heating—and call it a day. It’s like evolution got tired and handed us the controller. But here’s the twist: by making life easier, we might also be changing what it means to evolve at all. Congratulations, humans—you’ve officially started modding your own species.
