A far more vital question hovers. Are other life forms also going to advance as has humans? Why has only one life form attained a higher brain and speech - the most powerful tools a life form can possess? This says a life form [species] follows its own kind, and is not fundamentally impacted by evolution but the directive program transmitted by the host parents.
Orthogenesis? In this day and age?
In that case, perhaps you could clear up something that I wanted to ask one of you guys --- how in the world can you reconcile orthogenesis with adaptive radiation?
If evolution impacts all life - this impact is not the factor applying with humans. The math says so.
Curiously enough, you have omitted to include any math in your post.
