Yes. Some things that are changing right now: body hair is becoming less and less common, the brain is shrinking very slightly over the years, and wisdom teeth are slowly disappearing.
Evolution is moving a bit slower in recent history as the method for diversity (mutation) is occurring less as men that used to have children later in life are now doing so at a considerably younger age and introducing less mutations.
There's also speculation on whether or not diabetes and heart disease resistances will be selected for due to the pressures these are causing on the developed world.
Are we still evolving?
