im not sure if we should put this here or in the world events forum,so mods,feel free to move it

i think we will become smaller in scale,and also abit more brainier.
my friend thinks we might evolve to look like grey matter in ben 10 lol,but i think its a matter of luck over what conditions we will face,who we give birth to,what we do,and what we need,some sort of ultimate gamble lol

conditions we will face


Quite true, that. Evolution is always occurring, we're still evolving, but looking at the circumstances I think visible effects would occur only when conditions differ immensely. I feel prominent changes will probably occur in our respiratory patterns and lung capacity, since the air is so polluted nowadays *holds nose, sticks out tongue*.

Quite the contrary, humans have only gotten bigger over the last 3 million or so years. We will more likely grow than shrink.

I doubt any of us will have any hair in 1 million years, assuming we're not yet extinct. We started out covered in it, but we don't have very much now. It grows everywhere on our skin except for our palms and the bottoms of our feet, but it sure doesn't grow quickly.

Hopefully evolution sticks with only the Strongest will survive.


Sadly, due to our way of life even the weakest survive. A good thing sometimes, and a bad thing other times.

Human evolution to anything noticeably different, will take a while. Thousands of years probably. No one really knows how we might change.

You would look something like this:

*grabs sniper rifle*

Want to help?

We'll get bigger, and stronger, and smarter. We'll get better, period.

By the way, humans have what are probably remnants of a tail. The coccyx.

Not necessarily. Depends.

As others have said we will probably change very little unless something major happens to stimulate that change.

We have actually evolved away from having tails. But it would look like this.

Growing larger and developing a faster metabolism would be likely.

In many cases they don't pass there genetics on though. Keep in mind evolution happen between generations not individuals. Besides the abilities our overly developed brains give us more then make up for other physical shortcomings.

I beg to differ. I have too much hair

How the heck are we supposed to know? Only time will tell.
I doubt anything will happen in a few years. But in about 10000 years, something must've changed.

I have read that we developed a resistance to consuming dairy stuff...idk how long ago when people started to raise cattle and drink milk we evolved, our digestive system started to include a bacteria as a symbiotic lifeforms...well if you where to think about how we are starting to get more into genetics we might eventually control such things...I know that there are experimental food crops that have been genetically altered to do certain things like produce a certain drug or such, theres a process in which to completely different lifeforms can be genetically crossed...They cross bacteria with a human gene to produce insulin for example

I dont reckon we will change that much to be honest. As far as I am aware evolution comes from needing to adapt to your surroundings.
Humans just manipulate their surrounding to suit them so we have no real need to evolve or adapt.

well ,seeing as science sorta debuncked the theory of evolution, it is kinda irrelavent to disscus this topic.

They have found no "inbetween" species to suggest that we came from something less. They have found dinnosouars, and then us, dogs, cats, ect.

It was them, then us. Nothing in between.

And even if I did belive in evolution, It is said to happen over millons of years right? to such a point we dont notice it happening. Such would be the same. IN a few years, we will be exactly the same.

I na few billon years, maybe diffrent...but I dont think so.
