Nor does one need an expensive setup to show that evolution is surprisingly still a thing that exists.
Dna research is expensive in qualifications, time and equipment.
It may seem frivolous but many off shoots of dna research have become medical practice, thus extending the average human lifespan
evolution has been happening for almost 4 billion years
Yeah, wasn’t that what happened to the humans in “Wall-E”? Aided - or degraded, however you wanna look at it - by their technology.I don't know. Evolution depends on survival pressure. Humans have the least survival pressure on Earth.
If anything, we're evolving to be more over weight and more idiotic.
Just an opinion...
Single celled organisms don't evolve?Really? That long? I thought single-celled organisms were the only life for 3.4 billion? Until the Ediacaran/PreCambrian?
What medical practice is extending the average human lifespan by the study of DNA?
By this expression are we glossing over the fact that so many people today rely on an ever increasing and ever more expensive regimen of pharmaceutical drug therapy to survive past the old "three score and ten"?
Does it rule out the hundreds of thousands who succumb to cancer and heart disease or the epidemic of obesity and its sugar-addicted hand maiden, type 2 diabetes?
Are we talking about frail old bodies taking up space in nursing homes because science has found a way to keep them breathing, but not actually living?
It seems to me that the first part of your statement is the only part that is correct. The second part sounds a bit delusional TBH .

This isn't at all convincing. It merely shows a genetic basis for longer lives in some people."In a study analyzing the genomes of 210,000 people in the United States and Britain, researchers at Columbia University find that the genetic variants linked to Alzheimer's disease and heavy smoking are less frequent in people with longer lifespans, suggesting that natural selection is weeding out these unfavorable variants in both populations.
Researchers further find that sets of genetic mutations that predispose people to heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, and asthma, also appear less often in people who lived longer and whose genes are therefore more likely to be passed down and spread through the population.

Improved nutrition & health services is another explanation.In the UK I'm a member of the National Trust, a charity that helps restore and maintain our heritage, including old houses.
If you visit any of their Tudor Houses you are frequently ducking to get through doors and to stop you banging your head on beams. That is because humans have evolved to be taller in the last 500-years.
Not sure how improved health service makes you taller? Can you explain.Improved nutrition & health services is another explanation.
Hey, guys...I'm all for evolution.
But let's be careful about the science of it.
From one dumb engineer (to another), height is strongly linked to good diet as a young'n.Not sure how improved health service makes you taller? Can you explain.
Also, if nutrition does improve, isn't getting taller (and height being a preferred trait) part of the evolution process? But then I'm just a dumb engineer, what do I know.

Or, bad diet....I think the hormones they add to chicken and other meat (veggies, too, maybe?), to increase growth, are affecting us in the same way.From one dumb engineer (to another), height is strongly linked to good diet as a young'n.
I'd offer links to evidence, but I'm too lazy....& I have 14 alerts to address.
Where's @painted wolf when we need her!
