View Full Version : How will humans evolve in the future?

Will there even be a need to? With no real natural enemies, so many means of transportation, the easy access of many types of food, and vaccines readily available for many types of diseases, will we ever have any real needs?

If anything I think we'll get smaller physically and organs will eventually adapt in size and function to all the crap we put in our bodies.

We will eventually grow a second opposable thumb on each hand to keep up with new video gaming technology.

We evolve all the time. Many of the things you mentioned above could be considered evolution of a sorts. We're just the most advanced animal on the planet when it comes to passing information from generation to generation.

But even in a physical sense we have evolved a lot from the first humans.

Our penises will be longer and they will hang and touch the ground.

We will also have wings so we can drive by other animals and shit on them just like birds.

One of the first thinsg to change will probably be body hair and our little toe.

Hey, I'm on the forefront of evolution! (If you don't count the wing thing...) :lol

I don't know about evolution but I have heard about implanting chips with your personal information,ie..blood type,donor,allergies,etc.
I also know about implanting small hard drives into human brains.So maybe one day the human race will be part human and part robot.

did anyone hear about the "hollogram memories"? I heard something like that on TV yesterday.

Humans will become less intelligent and less civilized. Wealthy and educated people have a lot fewer children than the poor and ignorant. In industrialized nations, people frequently defer having children in favor of improving their own standard of living. While it makes us comfortable, it is an evolutionary disadvantage.

The devoutly religious also reproduce more than the secular. So people predisposed to that will increase in quantity.

Most of the biodiversity of the human race is in Africa, so despite their huge problems, they have a better chance long-term (i.e., millions of years) of overcoming diseases and other environmental factors that might seriously reduce the population of humans in other parts of the earth.

Other features will depend upon which habitats are most favorable.

I dont believe that, the poor uneducated people who are having the children are the ones pushing and try to overcome the failures of their parents. I know ive seen it personally, people are more and more trying to go out and get a better education.

We will not evolve. We will devolve into outrageously fat knuckledraggers who when asked their nationality answer "white" or "latino", think "irregardless" is a word, can't find the Pacific Ocean on a map, and whose total communication skills are limited to utterances of "I'd hit it" and "I'd hit it twice".

I know ive seen it personally, people are more and more trying to go out and get a better education.Well, sure, but then when the successful ones grow up, they'll wait to have kids until they've established themselves in the corporate world, and then they'll look at the price of a good college... and have maybe two kids.

And the cycle continues.

Seriously, I'm a strong believer in Darwin....us women will become so obsessed with attracting the best, stongest men and will inevitably turn the contest into a "who can make their boobs bigger" war. There will be so much silicone or saline or whatever hanging off the front of our chests that we will invariably develop an osteoperosis-type hunch...and gravity will bring the girls to the ground.

Knuckles soon to follow. :)

And spending all that time in their youth unsupported means that invariably ladies' chests will sag low in middle age.

much of the previous pressure for evolution is being eliminated like you said, so that means new pressures are around us, and are very new

we probably wont see any change for millions of years (like we'll last that long anyways) and then we we see a very breif period of drastic changes

i can see our lungs getting more used to all the extra shit in the air
our skin becoming cancer-resistant
practical thigns like this

the people who get most of these mutations will be the poor, homeless etc (assuming civilization is still around when it happens) because they will be stronger selection in these populations

assuming rich and poor stay seperated we could very well see the human race diverging into 2 sub species, or castes

we'll grow wings, be 9ft tall and shoot laser beams out our eyeballs.

[quote]i can see our lungs getting more used to all the extra shit in the airWe'll have hair billowing out of our noses to act as a filter.


our skin becoming cancer-resistantEverybody except white people already have this. It's called melanin. The reason white people don't have it is because Europe gets so little sun that only people with less pigment could produce enough vitamin D to thrive.

But we've kind of short-circuited that by having nice air-conditioned homes and sunscreen, so we don't die from skin cancer before we reproduce.

If anything our skin will grow less resistant to sunlight because we'll be spending so much of our time inside playing videogames with our 4 thumbs.

that is a good idea, but i meant what i said in terms of different gases, like increased gases in the atmosphere besides O2

non-whites get skin cancer


But we've kind of short-circuited that by having nice air-conditioned homes and sunscreen, so we don't die from skin cancer before we reproduce
skin cancer, any cancer, and any fatal illnesses have never been common before reproduction, our evolutionary history has ensured that a very large majority of us can make it through prime reproductive ages (16-22) with no real problems

BTW waterworld was the bomb

white people have melanin, just not as much. they arn't see-thru.

a good friend of mine has skin cancer. She is black.
actually she's blackity black black black. she's so black other black people say "damn.. she's black!".
she had never used sunscreen. but she does now.
