3. He has a rather late date for the emergence of "modern" human beings -- later than genetic isolation of the aboriginal Australians, for example, whom he would still perhaps regard as modern human beings. More frequently the emergence of "modern" Homo sapiens is given as about 100,000 years ago. Sometimes it is even more recent than that.
   
   As for genetic changes, the most modern example of evolution in action is still more recent. It is probably the emergence of lactose tolerance in adults.
