Evolution...

So can evolution be seen on a smaller time scale? Do we as humans evolve during our short lifetimes?

As we grow we are said to mature. Could it not as easily be said that we "evolve" into an adult? One thing I have noticed is that as I have "evolved" in my lifetime, I am able to deal with the general public easier. When I was younger, I hated to be around large groups of people and would avoid it at as much as possible. Now it is not a problem. Did I just become used to being around people or did my mind evolve to where it does not bother me anymore?

Just food for thought....
