Evolution affects humans too.

I present to you 5 facts.

1: Civilisation started after early homosapiens migrated from Africa into hostile ice age Europe.
2: Adaptions occur more frequently when an animal enters a new environment.
3: By far the most important adaption in recent human evolution is the brain. A neanderthal with a human brain would not be significantly worse or better off than a human.
4: Physical adaptions take longer to evolve than the simple increase in size of the neo-cortex.
5: Humans do have a plethora of physical adaptions to various environments.

I don't think "memetic evolution" makes any sense, but ideas and culture themselves do shape evolution indirectly. Do you think that if japanese culture hadn't valued their women for being small, soft and pale, that they would look like they do now?
