Well, new species develop over an incredibly long period of time. We're pretty unlikely to see in our lifetimes what random mutations stay in the gene pool for the long haul.

I think we are seeing some evolution within our own species right now. People live longer and grow taller...at least in the Western world. I would partially attribute that to better nutrition and medical technology.
