People are NOT going to evolve over the life of the doctor (or even 1000 lifetimes).

Untrue. Asians typically had an average height of 5'2 or less for hundreds of years. Within the past generation the AVERAGE height has increased by 6 inches. This is a change that is sustained and continuous. This is largely due to diet, but as studies have shown, change occurs. Domesticated cat brains are smaller today than there were 75 years ago. Cats USED to hunt mice for food. Now they are kept in apartments and fed from the can. They no longer need the brain capacity they once did. Bottom line is that we are changing, slowly; but we are changing nonetheless. It's measureable, it's quantifiable and it's factual.

You have GOT to be kidding! You CANNOT equate change in height due to diet and cats who have been selectively bred for thousands of years with evolution.

My cat disagrees with you heartily. The comparison of cat brains, which she says is none of our business, should be done using current feral cat populations and house cat populations. Not hypothetical over time studies of some house cat sadists.

As for Asians being taller not related diet and living conditions, did you see the fighters we were training in Afghanistan? When they were standing next to the Allied Forces trainers, the difference was incredible. If you raised your children in those conditions, and I would not recommend it, they would look like those very same people. All it takes is very poor nutrition prior to full growth.

You haven't seen my cats patrol my garden. They like baby rabbits too. While inside they are the freindly little lap cats. Outside they are the Lords of all they survey. Mice, birds, rabbits, etc.

Adaptation is not evolution.
