Yes, but being an anti-social, shut-in can contribute to not procreating. There are definitely both physical and psychological characteristics in humans that have a better chance of procreation than others. Even if people aren't dying from nature, Darwin will get his due.

I'm not saying that genetic changes aren't happening at all, just that the article doesn't address that modern society creates a very different environment for natural selection, compared to humans in subsistence level environments in the wild.
