The thing is that we are still evolving and developing things like lactose tolerance. The thumbs of young people are getting bigger and more dextrous from texting. In Korea, the ministry of education increased the size of desks 1.5 cm as the level of development has been so quick and diets (protein in particular) changed so much that average heights went up in a single generation. Our bodies are adapting to whatever environment there is and it doesn't take millennia.
What will be really interesting is how we evolve in response to cybernetic implants, cloning, CRISPR gene alterations, and reduced need for sexual reproduction.
