Are our genes still being shaped by natural selection?

Daoism and Chinese medicine believes that change is the only constant. If our ancestors had evolved to adapt to their environment so we are what we are now, why should we think that the change would stop now?
I don't even know how we could have gone through so much civilization and complicated our world and our lives to reach this point of humanity where people still like to fight each other and destroying our own planet and our souls.

How is it possible that we live in a society with all the technological advances and we are using up two-thirds of world resources and yet most of us can't even eat as well as the primitive humans?

And how about the intelligence of our bodies and the intuition that we've lost gradually over the thousands of years of civilization. That's signs of changing genes right there.

Yes our brains might have gotten bigger, but I don't think we can measure intelligence that way.
