If evolution was true, then why did apes & humans stop evolving?

Who says they have?

Maybe we went from 'evolving' to 'devolving'.

Okay, I’ll bite. If we are still evolving, then what are the significant morphological changes between modern man and the first homo sapiens specimens that scientists date to around 100,000 years ago?

If six million years is enough to change a great ape into a homo sapiens, then we should see around 1.5% of that level of change in the 100,000 years of specimens of homo sapiens we have available, right? At least a few of our features should be noticeably different.

About 5000 years ago most humans were lactose intolerant.
Then came the rise in pastoral societies, and the gene to be able to process milk spread like wildfire.
Now I think only 5% of people in the world are lactose intolerant.
That’s a pretty big evolutionary step, very recent.
