One aspect of evolution - the mutation of genetic material - has definitely increased in humans the past 5000 years:

Past 5,000 years prolific for changes to human genome

Not enough generations have passed, or sub-populations been isolated from inter-breeding, for there to have been any substantial selection on these variations, I suppose.

I still think we see a lot of inbreeding —in places we wouldn’t suspect. Regions of our own country, in fact. Too many auto-immune diseases.

Just my lay person’s bad scienctific musing.
