Agreed on DNA evolution. Not agreed on cultural evolution. Science is easier to quantify. My data concerns mainly science.
You were being specific, when you could have been more general. It isn't just science that is evolving rapidly, it is technology, fashion, music, literature - and so on. Science makes a fine example - but it's just one part among many of a snowballing human culture - and readers should ideally be aware of that.
