One question.
There is a random tribe (African i believe) that has pretty much kept to itself over the years. They use the back of their necks to balance heavy loads on. (Water carriers etc) They eventually got a slight buildup of muscle and bone on their upper backs and neck, due to their constant usage. Over generations, this growth has become more predominant, growing larger than the one before, to the point that babies of the tribe are born with it.

Is this, or is this not, evolution in action?
No, this is adaptation. Not the same thing.
