Once you're achieved perfection there is no evolutionary pressure in the
scheme of natural selection to send the species off in new directions.

Humans evolved faster because they had more to imrove on and less time
to do it. Eventually, they may reach the evolutionary perfection that
sharks have. Well, probably not -- sharks have avoided the unwanted
capability to blow themselves up in massive quantities.
