how will we evolve ?


An interesting subject : How will we humans evolve in the next 100 to 1000 years and how will we look like ? Numerous scientists have created very different scenarios and some are even predicting we may still be around in 4 million years (i think not) and walk around looking like cyborgs or coneheads. The more realistic prediction appears to be the one that we will vanish due to a severe and rapidly changing strain of a lethal virus with 100 years from now. Another quite interesting concept by a Dr. Curry at the London School of Economics was that humans evolve to a height of almost 7 feet, can reach an age of 120 and have a brown skin color (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1531602/This-is-the-shape-of-things-to-come-for-mankind.html) . He also assumes that around year 100 000 we have evolved into two species - the ones that are superior and an inferior human species that is shorter, grubby and less intelligent. There are some interesting assumptions in his Bravo study, but i would like to challenge him in the time frame required for the appearance of a human sub species or even a split. AJ

  1. Interesting article but the part about sub-species is a little too radical.
