We’re evolving too slowly for the world we’ve built, according to science

This article put a lot of things into place for me. It made me realize that in all of human history, the amount of advancements and changes that have been made to our lifestyle have increased significantly in the last 100 years. In 100 years we went from screens being something that you see at a movie theater to something that everyone carries in their pocket all the time. The world we built is one we are not built for. 

                      

The article explains that the amount of stress we experience on a daily basis is not something we were meant for. They put us into a sensory overload that we were never meant to experience. It also explains that this constant stress could be affecting sperm motility and count, causing a form of natural selection for stress resilience. This is obviously not a solution to the problem of stress.

Overall, this article opened my eye and I think I might be making some changes to reduce my stress levels in my life.
