Have humans finished evolving?

Answer 1

Evolution happens because the species is trying to ADAPT to the new/changing environment. Evolution happens over a very long period, so it wont be obvious when evolution happens but it WILL happen.
If you think about it, the environment we live in IS changing (global warming, wars and so on) therefore our bodies will need to get used to the new surroundings and environments. Hence further evolutions of human is inevitable. Though what we look like or what will change...no one knows...

Answer 2

This question cannot truly be answered in facts due to the controversial idealism surrounding spiritual believe and Darwinism.
For instance... I do not believe that we ever were apes. I do believe that there were ape like human creatures that once roamed the earth and are now extinct, but if apes were to evolve...why haven't they still? Especially since there are more of us now? I believe we were our own creation regardless of the similarities and that the only evolution that has taken place is in intelligence. (An example may be all the different species of a particular animal : like a a dog say - yet they are all their own creation. They didn't "evolve" they just were the same type of being). That being said... I believe we still have the room to grow.
Someone who is a Darwinist may "believe" differently.

Answer 3

There is a big difference between evolution and adaptation...Remember evolution is when a species evolves that species does not exist anymore it becomes a whole new species

example: The apes that humans evolved from are no longer found on earth anymore. They are now homo sapiens! So the old saying we evolved from monkeys is not true.

now adaptation is a more short term change that is often mistaken for evolution. Adaptation includes things like growing larger species and so on....

now to actually answer your question...nothing is ever done evolving...so yes millions and millions of years from now a new species may inhabit the earth...

Answer 4

No, Humans have not finished evolving, there are however, peope in this world that claim that we have finished evolving. This, however, is not the case, if you take a look back at what we used to loo like (alsmost ape like in appearance) you will notice our arms are shorter than what they used to be, we no longer dwell and find food in tres, so our arms have become shorter fot this reason, Our eyes were at one point all dark, however, somewhere down the evolutionary line, we began to get whites in our eyes, as we left trees and found to settle the land, we had to walk to get to places, so our legs have become stronger than what they were. also, because of interaction with other cultures and civilisations, languages have been developed.

When I was in school my Biology teacher predicted that because we spend more time at computers, our eyes will become bigger, our fingers somewhat longer and our legs will not be as powerful as we sit down a lot these days. But who knows how we will evolve in the next 1000+ years?

Answer 5

Everything, including humans is evolving, there is no end to evolution in living things. There will always be variation in Human race, and everyone inherits different characteristics, sure there are similarities in appearance but they are not indentical. Indentical twins are one person split into two you could say, the are not EXACTLY the same.
All living things evolve and adapt to their surrounds...humans are changing with the environment, you just dont notice it.

Answer 6

No, of course not. We think we are clever, and the highest rank of evolution, what can be better than the 'homo sapiens sapiens' , but that doesn't mean our race has stopped evolving. The evolutionairy circle didn't just stopped; like someone would have said "Yeah, now humans have developped enough, let's stop here." Of course wa can't see any changes, we are talking about an evolution that takes millions of years.

Answer 7

before animals evolved into human beings and now human beings are getting evolved into animals. so i don't think that humans have finished evolving.

Answer 8

Evolution hasn't finished yet it quite is occurring all around us, in flowers, animals all varieties of residing issues. who's to declare an alien hasn't impregnated a human lol Worse nonetheless with the improve technologies in technology and the on an popular basis breakthoughs who's to declare some nutty professor wont attempt and impregnate a human with a monkeys sperm :D

Answer 9

That's hard to say. I think we're past the point where the environment shapes us, and we now are shaping the environment. For example - there's no reason for humans to evolve longer stronger legs to run faster, since we can drive.

Answer 10

There is no evidence that evolution has an ending. We can only see what has happened up to this point. Nobody can forsee the future, however there is nothing that would indicate that evolution will ever end. Evolution has to do with all living things, not just humans.
