While this is obviously a positive thing, human evolution changes if Darwin&#8217;s nature has less impact and Hippocrates&#8217;s modern medicine grows. For example, scientists in Austria say that the rise in Caesarean section births has helped the shape of women to evolve.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers estimate that the number of babies that cannot fit down a woman&#8217;s birth canal has gone from 3 percent in 1960 to 3.6 percent today. Their explanation is that there have been a few generations of women who have a narrow pelvis size (and smaller birth canal) that have had babies via c-section. The idea being that women with a narrow pelvis would have died in childbirth more often, thus not passing the thin pelvis gene on to descendants.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Without modern medical intervention such problems often were lethal and this is, from an evolutionary perspective, selection,&#8221; said Dr Philipp Mitteroecker, of the department of theoretical biology at the University of Vienna, in a story by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/science-environment-38210837\">bbc.com<\/a>.
