While many traits and species have taken a tremendous amount of time to evolve, it does not mean that all evolution works on the same timescale.

I was talking about humans beings. You may get some minor change over 2 or 3 generations, but it doesn't stick or expand if the natural selection process isn't kept for many many generations.

Also, you may want to rephrase or explain "changes so fast that evolution has no time to adapt." because I am having trouble with it.

What I meant was that because of enviromental, technological and cultural changes, in a few generations time, the genes that made the fittest may now make for the weakest, or whatever. So the genes don't keep getting passed on more than the others the way it does in darwinian evolution.

And where did you get the 150 generations number from?

Okay, that was off the top of my head, but from my understanding of evolution, a couple of generations or even a couple dozen just aren't enough for any relevant evolutionary change to take place.
