Smallpox is spread when a person breathes it in and out. The virus gets inside the…

Introduction: There is a lot of controversy over the topic of if humans are still evolving. Some people say that humans are still evolving, while others say we are devolving.

A background term that you may not know is selective pressure; any action that changes the behavior or fitness or a living organism in a certain environment. In this paper I will be using the research of other scientists and people to…
