Ah you should read 'The 10,000 Year Explosion' by Cochran and Harpending. They say that the large population allows more variation to arise, and spread back into the mainstream if it's advantageous. More experiments running at once. The explosion in the title is /evolutionary/ explosion btw, which they figured out via our genetic changes. And the 10,000 years is the most recent 10,000 years :)
Ask him what he thinks of the 10,000 Year Explosion and Farewell to Alms, both of which suggest that not only have we evolved recently (in last 10,000 years), but we've evolved a lot.
