What will be the next evolutionary stage of man, and when will it happen?

Question

We have come so far from back in the days of Monkeys and Apes. What is the next step? Will we fly like birds or use telepathy like Aliens? What do you think the next step is and when will it happen?

Answer 1

It's happening right now, evolution is constantly occurring. That is something a lot of people don't understand, they think that one day an ape gave birth to a human, but it happened over thousands and thousands of years. So, evolution is occurring now, but the changes aren't as drastic as some might think.

Answer 2

Our technology and use of tools have become such a part of our lives that evolutionary adaptation is for us, needless. If were to evolve, it is not a matter of when, more of an if. Not only that, but evolution is a constant process, not one that happens instantly. Any noticeable differences to classify us as another species than we are now would be 1-3 million years down the road, at least, probally more due to, as stated, our technological adaptations winning out over biological ones.

Answer 3

Evolution is a constant change triggered by need. Even though it happens constantly we might not recognize until we see a human after about a million years. Suppose we see one what could be the difference.

1) We have become more dependent on machines in our day to day life, so future man might not "need" strong arms and legs. So he might be delicate in bone structure.

2) Man has started using computers a lot which means using the brain a lot to program them. So the brain size might increase.

Answer 4

You have asked a very good question and i think i have the answer. How often have your parents heard of psychics when they were young and how often have you heard of psychics now days if you where to find out that statistics of the psychic population in the world you will find that psychics have increased greatly in numbers. think about it humans are most known for using their mind to accomplish things.But to ask what is the next step would be wrong be cause evolution does not take steps.

Answer 5

Good question. I think the next step will be to cast 'off' this shell that we live in and become a source of pure energy. People are 'very attracted to their wrappers' and quite vain of them. They instruct themselves in what wrappers are pleasing to the eye and which are hideous. In their vanity they forgot they even exist inside these vessels and that from whence they came, all was energy and thought. I guess you could think of yourself as the Invisible man, or woman, but you would'nt have the need to shapeshift into a 'form' at all, for you would no longer be so insecure as to try convince yourself that this outmoded form is necessary, at all.

Answer 6

We'll lose the last remnants of our reptilian tails (the tailbone), the appendix, the cerebral cortex will finally rid itself of the primitive limbic system (the location of our primitive beliefs in god and the supernatural), homo sapiens will divurge into three branches....homo brainiacs, homo carbonetics, and homo robotics. Which one will survive is anyones guess...but we're talking 100,000 to 150,000 years at this point (evolution is a very slow process)

Answer 7

No one can really answer that. Evolution takes place over thousands or millions of years. It is likely that it will be recognized after the fact. We certainly can't predict what it is or when it happens.

Answer 8

we are already seeing it! More people every year are being born without wisdom teeth. We have evolved beyond the need for a third molar.

Answer 9

Artificial body parts and implants.
50 years from now.

Answer 10

i hope men learn to bathe and put clean boxers and socks on daily. not sure what women need to do to evolve...lol
