Humans are undoubtedly still evolving, in the sense that the genetic
makeup of the human population is changing over time. Presumably
humans will eventually either evolve into one or more different
species or become extinct (barring exceptional events, like the end of
the universe). (By the way, I think "speciation" usually refers to
_splitting_ into more than one species; humans certainly aren't doing
that at the moment.)

Individuals don't evolve, only populations -- except on Star Trek.
_Is_ Jesus living today in flesh and blood? (That's a real question --
I don't think orthodoxy requires any particular answer, but I'm not a
theologian.) If so, does he experience gravity? Does he get his hair
cut? Are these questions different in kind from the one you asked?
