And even those self-imposed selective forces are ever-changing and vary quite wildly from context to context across the globe and across the socioeconomic spectrum. Modern human evolution is really fascinating.

Fascinating but terrifying to think that natural selection is probably now pushing humans to be good little office drones rather than survivors

That's only true if people that work in offices reproduce at a higher rate than the general population, and I'm not entirely sure that's the case. If anything, societal trends have shown that in more developed countries where office work would be more common people are having fewer kids and populations are starting to decline.
