in the event world don't end cause sun goes super nova, what's the predicted evolutionary change to humans

Answer 1

Actually...there's a lot of research on this. The morphological trends that everyone can agree on are: larger heads, smaller facial features, and eventually tending toward an average height of around 6 feet.

Beyond that, I don't know.

Answer 2

The sun WON'T go super-nova. That fate is reserved for far more massive stars. But the sun WILL inevitably become a red giant. This will happen over the course of the next several billion (thousand-million for you British) years. It is thought that Earth will become too hot within 500 million years. This is a long time from now. 500 million years ago was the Cambrian era and the first multi-celled (non-microscopic) life forms appearing in the fossil record. Therefore, it is virtually impossible to forecast what human descendants would be like at a point so far in the future.

Imho, humans are evolving to the point where we have the means to build vehicles to allow our species to leave the planet, or even our solar system. The crucial thing is, will humans be smart enough not to rely on a governmental agency such as NASA (which does not pay for itself because it has no incentive to do so) to allow sufficient humans to leave Earth and preserve the species. Otherwise, the human race will perish on a dying world regardless of whever stage of evolution it is in. And the history of humanity and Earth will have been for naught.

Answer 3

It's unpredictable now. We've removed most or all of the environmental forces that would have prevented us from reproducing in the past, so these forces (pressures) are no longer favoring changes that could result in evolutionary changes. In others words, almost anybody can reproduce and pass on their genes now. Once you've passed on your genes, evolution is pretty much through with you.

For example, diabetes would have prevented many of those who carry the genes that make people susceptible to it from living long enough to have children. Now it's common for people with severe diabetes to lead productive adult lives. Perhaps that's your answer--we'll have higher rates of diseases that we've learned to overcome.

Answer 4

What difference does it make... you won't be around either way to see it. An idiot with a nuke is the most likely end (or 'change') to human evolution, then global warming, over-population, and famine. Bleek no matter how you slice it.

Have a nice day :)

Answer 5

is death considered an evolutionary change?
