Lets say in the year 5,000 will we look different than we do now? Will there be Giant animals like dinosaurs roaming the Earth?

no, human beings will not change because change is caused by the need to adapt to our enviornments and we won't need our bodies to change to adapt to the enviornment because we will be able to make the technology to adapt.

Nothing stays the same forever. The only thing constant is change. Humans are constantly changing to an ever changing environment. The first humans showed up about 250,000 years ago, and look at the variety of people there are on this planet. Evolution takes a long time to change a species in any dramatic way, so I wouldn't expect there to be much change in 5,000 years. Humans have not changed much physically in the last 5,000 years since written history has begun. If humans are still around in a million years, they will look completely different. In fact, we won't even be human any more, because we will have changed to our environment. The trends that humans have been changing the most in in the last 250,000 years is our brains have become larger and we have also become taller, so I could see humans continuing that trend and in the next 250,000 years, people will be very tall geniuses.

if you look as the difference between black Africans and white Europeans you will see that they have changed a lot in only a1000 years or so. i personally believe the majority of people from this century are much smarter than those from the previous ones. evolution is much faster with humans than any other race because we reproduce more than them. so i would say in about another 1000 years we will be very different from the way we look now.
there won't be giant species like dinosaurs (an less humans have something to do with it) because animals are already struggling and loosing their natural habitats because of the expansion of the human world. such giant species could not survive.

I think we will. Now just think about it 5000 years is a lot of time not for evolution of humans, but for evolution of our biotechnology. We will probably be using it to make ourselves very different from what we are now. I can't say exactly what we will look like, cause I think that people would wanna look like different things. Like some people might wanna be like real giants, and some might wanna be really handsome. Some might take on weird colors like green, or blue? I mean I am sure that we will look very different in 5,000 years, cause by that time we will be able to control our bodies to the extent that we could just about do anything with it, and make it look like anything.

Well, considering it has happened before. Think of it cavemen were on this Earth, and we have come a very long way since then. So, in about 5,000 years, I will say yes. We will evolve. However, I don't think there will be dinosaurs romaing the Earth. When something is supposedly exinct, it can't come back.

Yes, I think humans will change quite a bit. But it will not be a natural change, it will be genetic engineering. What parent, given the chance, would not want their child genetically immune to all kinds of diseases? And smarter and stronger? It will start slowly with little things like that but in 5000 years who knows what kinds of changes we might make to our own race?

We will evolve a little bit, but most of it will be boring. For example, people 5000 years from now will be less susceptible to the viruses we are suffering from now. We've LOOKED the same for at least 100,000 years already.

They will become more stupid and brainwashed. Their bodies will become weaker with everything performed by external technology and internal cybernetics. Genetic engineering will make their minds docile to the Emperor in control. At least the women will be very beautiful.

I would say yes, based on the facts we now know about human evolution.

Yes if only there is a requirement and evolution will take care of it then.
