Seriously? You have to be kidding.
One recent example is that elephants in Africa are being born without tusks. More so in area of heavy poaching. So it appears that a century of heavy poaching caused a species to drop what was causing the poaching. I have no clue how the heck that works, but it is what it is.
Then you have the very basic version of evolution. Antibiotic resistant bacteria. Bacteria once treated with an antibiotic would be neutralized, but when people don't take the proper prescription some survive and quickly build an immunity that is devised in the next generation. In fact, anything (bugs for example) that devise a resistance to what was once a treatment is an evolutionary trait.
