We're not going to observe evolution in our species because we've moved past the survival-of-the-fittest stage. We alter our environment in a way such that it suits our current needs while evolution takes us and adapts us to our environment. With our technology there's no reason to evolve.

That's, uh, not how evolution works. All genetic mutations started with one creature. Those creatures in turn mated with others who didn't have it. The result is that the offspring had the mutation, too, just as strong as it was in the parent. It's not like heritages (my great-great-grandmother was from Czechoslovakia, therefore her daughter was half Czech, her daughter was quarter Czech, etc.).

As for your next paragraph, go back up to my first one. To summarize: we don't need to evolve (adapt ourselves to our environment) because we can adapt our environment to ourselves.
