      Evolution is the process in which living things adapt to suit their environments better. So as humans continue to be exposed to changes in their environments, there will definitely be evolution although any obvious changes in the human form will be quite slow as evolution is a slow process (millions of years). Who knows, given the rate that we use our computers and smartphones, I won’t be surprised if future generations of humans have extra large thumbs or more fingers so that we can use these devices more effectively!
