According to NASA in the next 20 years people will live in space. Reproduction will eventually occur, and with it adaptation to it's new environment. Over generations evolution will occur far quicker than it took us to reach our present form.
First thoughts that pop into my head...
Without gravity, our noses will not need to point downward, we may not need noses at all, just smell receivers.
Will we need our feet anymore? presumably in a zero-g environment pre-hensile feet like hands would be more useful
Child birth itself has been designed with gravity at its' core, what would happen there?
Gravity controls how tall we get to a degree; I could see us getting really tall and spindly too....
What physical changes could you imagine happening over the generations if we stay in space?
