I think that nurture is so strong a force, versus nature, that evolution in human beings who provide intense and varied forms of nurture to their children is somewhat obselete. Combine this with the sharp class divide that encourages the rich to marry each other and pass the wealth on to their children, producing stale gene pools which nonetheless prosper, and evolution is too simple a theory to explain how the human race is changing over time.
