How we (human beings) will look like/ our appearance after 10,000 years? (considering evolution as the key)?

Answer 1

We have totally removed natural selection, a key requirement for a being to evolve. If anything we will become less robust, less strong, less health, and less successful because there is no need for it.

Geography is also no longer a boundry, so there aren't any more isolated groups evolving independently. With the spread of people across the word, the average person will look more and more like a mix of everyone else: eg. most will have medium complexion, most will have brown hair.

However, if your scenarion will allow for natural disasters or plagues, the end result is unforseeable. Those who survive a period of plague will have better immune systems and generally more healthy. Those who survive a disaster like a world-wide drought or flood will be those with the best survival instincts: clever, resourceful, excellent social smarts, more fit and more efficient metabolism.

Answer 2

10,000 years is a very short amount of time for any drastic evolutionary changes to take place. If you took a human from 10,000 years ago (and gave him a good scrubbing )and placed them side by side with a human from today you would not be able to tell the difference. Modern human would probably be taller, but you could make a good case for that being a matter of nutrition, not genetic difference.

As others have pointed out, the real difference we'll see is technological and genetically manufactured changes. Considering that we stay our present course and don't nuke ourselves into the stone age, most genetic diseases will be a thing of the past and depending on how far society is willing to go with it, designer genes may be had on the open market. Merging humanity with technology will probably be commonplace, and true cyborgs will be everywhere. Is this evolution? In the strictest definition it isn't, but it will change humans at a fundamental level.

Answer 3

For the human race, evolution will be history in 10,000 years. We'll be able manipulate and change our genetic structure any way we please in 10,000 years if we're still around.

Think about the Cantina Bar in Star Wars. All the weird races in there could all be manipulated versions of humans via genetic engineering.

Answer 4

Evolution hasn't changed us significantly in the past 10,000 years so I don't think the next 10,000 holds anything significant either. Technology however, may hold some significant changes in what some may choose to do in altering themselves.

Answer 5

The same as we look now. Maybe in a million years I've heard people will have one less finger, but I'm not sure that is scientifically accurate or just heresay. We may also lose the sense of smell.

Answer 6

2 eyes, 1 nose, 2 ears, 1 mouth, 2 legs, 2 arms 10 fingers, 10 toes, some black, some white, some in between...... get the picture? evolution hasn't changed our appearance.

Answer 7

if you just base it on evolution alone and do not inclide factors like genetic engineering and other technology in the future, i would say that the way we look would depend on what disabilities we have now. because in evolution, it would change our body specifically for the purpose of perfecting what the flaws of todays human beings have....

Answer 8

Right now we are on top, but if there comes a time where we must adapt to survive evolution will start again.

Answer 9

Nobody knows. And nobody can guess.
