Devolution be damned! It appears that humanity is in fact evolving at an ever quicker pace:

Humour aside, the above article does not quite state if all the evolution going on is in a positive direction or not, and DEVO’s ideas about devolution was more about culture than genetics.

I seem to remember reading something one time about how the human genome stopped being altered by the genes of bacteria and viruses many millennia ago. I wonder if this is related.
