The article talks about changes in our brain and in our body's strenght and mobility. These are changes that can be achieved in a very short time-span because the development of cognitive and physical abilities, though based on genetic predispositions, is mostly influenced by our environment.

Great thoughts on the evolution of the web -- however on the physical evolution front there is the clear fallacy of assuming that species physically evolve in directions that would simply be more convenient for what they do a lot. Like, we think so much that our heads will evolve bigger than our bodies... wrong!

Physical evolution works like this: if you aren't physically suited to the current environment you die and don't breed; if you are suited, then your genetic material carries on for the time being. If you had wings for some reason, and they got you living and breeding, then we'll see more wings.

Note: Your kid's head will not be bigger because you think alot !

If you want to predict natural physical evolution trends then point towards a mass breeding or a mass die-off that would impact the gene pool.
