re: diversity
absolutely. it changes a lot. but, we aren't likely to change due to evolution any time soon. we're missing one of the crucial elements, namely, any human can breed. you simply cannot hope to implement natural selection without nature selecting anything. there has to be a reason that a big chunk of the population is unable to reproduce, and some particular trait that makes an organism immune to this effect. short of imposing a minimum iq to breed and having a gatica-esque situation, i don't really see a (physical/genetic) braniac evolution any time soon.

: this changing environment in which success is much more dependent of intelligence and flexibility

yes, exactly. soon, it will be stylish to be nerdy. in fact, it already sorta is getting that way. kids wanna be dot commers and software developers when they grow up. the golden age of the geek is apon us! finally we 5s can control the world thru our virtues and beauty rather than having to resort to religion and other sorts of diabolical mind control! hehehehe
