Cesarean section births are now very common so evolution of brain size has probably resumed. Unfortunately with the invention of reliable birth control, the bigger brained the mother the less children she will probably have. I suspect male brain size will increase but not so much female.

Robots are now appearing on the battlefield and just like human evolution they are now on the evolutionary fast track. 1,000 years from now humans may just be a curiosity at a zoo named Earth.

Because big brained women will be too smart for their own good. (and, not have children)

I think that medical malpractice insurance premiums are driving this development more than evolution. ;)
