Could this apply to 100,000 -odd years ago? ~
"In the past few days, a study has suggested human activity may actually be driving many mammals into the dark.

Animals ranging in size from the little opossum to the mighty African elephant appear to have increased their nocturnality to try to avoid people. "

What an awesome article. If more animals are moving into the dark to avoid humans it won't be long before more adaptions and natural selection will start to change them.

The theory of evolution is being portrayed more and more before our very eyes.
