You're misunderstanding evolution. Evolution doesn't make "more advanced" creatures. It makes creatures that are better adapted to their environments. Cockroaches and Tulips are just as evolved as Human beings from an evolutionary standpoint.

You're probably missunderstanding the whole evolution thing. Evolution doesn't mean that certain species become another species, God is a LOT more powerful than that. If He wants a new species he'll just create one. Evolution is HOW a CERTAIN species evolves (like humans from stone age to know). They say that they found a species in Tchad (Central Africa) of a human that's 7 million yrs old (twice as old as Lucy), now reason with me here for a second, this species when they worked with its cranial cavity they made it in a computer and turned out to look like a monkey, now how does a monkey developpe into a human? Was it a mutation? if so how do we have one set of chromosomes less than monkeys? Knowing that a genetic mutaion affects the DNA itself not the number of Chromosomes. Things just don't add up in the "monkey became humans theory", otherwise why do we still have monkeys?
SO finally to answer you question, no there is no chance beacuse the equilibrium of the ecology (both biocenosis and biotope) are in perfect harmony that if one species changes, the entire ecosystem has to change, knowing this why would there be such a radical shift?
Hope this helps :)

Most life forms that we see today have arisen by an accumulation of changes in body design that allow the organism possessing them to survive better.You know this evolution is a continuous process but it is a slow process too.So in my opinion the future will surely witness more developed animals than human being even though it may take some time( I mean at least 2 or 3 decades)

Developped is a catch all term. What is "evolved"? Isn't a tiger perfectly adapted to its environment, and then can't we call it evolved? Sharks have not changed much over several million years, perhaps they have reached the point where that are evolved enough for the existing conditions?

If you meant to inquire about "advanced" as "intellectually advanced" (instead of evolved), there is one thing to consider. Evolution depends on changing conditions and adaptation to those, and to the natural selection and survival of the fittest. Humanity has put itself outside of the usual path of evolution by caring for and allowing people with genetic disorder to survive and even reproduce (note that I am not saying this is bad, I am just saying that in the wild, this sort of things does not happen with animals). We are not adapting to the condition, we are adapting the conditions to suit us; so out goes evolutionary pressure to evolve. But at the same time, we are learning how the DNA works and we will soon be able to alter it. But that would not be evolving, that would be tweaking, deliberate genetic engineering.

Can other animals evolve to the point of equalling or even surpassing human beings in intelligence? Possible, but it would likely take millions of years. And that is assuming that humanity let them do it. What would we collectively do if we found out that, say, rackoons are getting too smart and attacking everything in sight? We'd go out and hunt them to extinction, long before they would have gotten smart enough to be a real challenge to our own level. So, for animals to evolve in this manner, they have to be unchallenged by some creature alrerady at the top of the pyramid which is unlilling to share that top spot. For an animal to evolve to our level would require humanity to be off the planet (either moved out to outer space, or extinct because of disease or war or whatever) to give those aspiring species room to develop.

Evolution is a continuous process n it always strives to create creatures better adapted to its surroundings n eliminate the ones less favourable!! With rapidly changing enviroment hte human race may not have the time enough to undergo the process of mutation n natural selection neede on tyhe natures time scale n the species may well be wiped out................however if certain members of this race are already in for it then certainly we may evolve further better adapted n greater brain cell mass converting us into the so called Superhumans!!

What do you mean by "more developed?" The answer to this question is yes simply because as evolution continues, organisms will continue to develop. Weather you mean smarter, or stronger, or larger i cannot tell from your question. There's no way of predicting with any certainty what direction evolution will take, but given infinite time just about anything is possible.

Yes it is possible in this day and age now to develop superhuman beings by altering genes and with the use of mechanical body parts Zyborgs are already with us. Scary isn't it ?

Yes but they will still call themselves human beings. Look at football linemen 300 350 lb common, basket ball players have evolved to be taller. Compare WW 1 soldiers size to today's soldiers. Brainwise we may be going backwards.

ofcourse yes evolution is in processes. But do you think to the shape of the next human???
Come to my questions to see the results!!!!

We are changing during my life time. In my youth, I was one of the tallest. Now, most of the teenagers are taller than I. The appendix lost its function. Meckel's diverticulum is another example of losing function with change. Yes, we will change, but not become monsters and science fictions show.
