do you think humans will eventually evolve new organs or evolve without organs that we dont need?

Answer 1

Well---it's been a long time and STILL we have not been able to devolve our appendix.
You figure it out. There'll be a red giant where the sun used to be before we change our internal architecture.
AND NO WE WERE NOT CREATED. And the SPLEEN is an extremely useful organ that is usually removed ONLY if it needs to be. And our little fingers are NOT getting smaller and smaller. Why, just think of all those cokeheads from the 80s on - would you be surprised to see their little fingers lengthen???LOL

Answer 2

Yes I do. I think we have lost organs we don't use any longer. We certain lost our tell as we have been out of the trees too long and stopped using it.
I like a lot of people think the appendage is no longer used, and is eventually either disappear or become useful again/

Humans have lost several senses over the centuries we had as when we wondered among the other mammals. These included the ability to smell our predators, prey, and relatives and tell the difference between a friendly prey and an unfriendly predator.

Human eye site was much better at one time(according to where you lived) people on large flat areas could see better (distance wise)than ones in dark jungles with over head canopy type Forrest's.
Humans were at one time vegetarians nearly exclusively, and their teeth even today show it. I think they developed meat eating out of necessity due to climate changes. we los tmos tof our cud chewing teeth as a result:):).
Humans lost the need for claws, and ended up with toes/toenails.
People in Arfica in hot dry areas grew tall and slim to spread the suns rays over a large area, while people in cold areas turned light skin and reflected different (lighter) eye color as well as skin.
now tha tthe races are inter mingling we do not know what the end will result in.

Answer 3

I've heard that our pinky finger keeps getting smaller and smaller because we don't really use it..it's not a crucial finger.
I've also heard that things like a spleen...we don't really need that either...but I guess that nature provides us with things we don't.
I don't know about how "quickly" we are evolving, but I do think that as far as acclamation, our bodies are doing a horrible job.
Evolution is in simplest form survival of the fittest, and unfortunately sometimes the simplest organism is the strongest. So I was just thinking that is why our bodies are becoming victims of disease and other things that we can't fight without the aid of medicine, and in fact, how some of those medicines don't even work.

Answer 4

no, I think that evolving by making new organs is not the way this world will evolve

I do believe one day they will be able to stop problems that cause organs to die or have problems or .

I don't think that organ will be replaced with a machine type of organ.

Answer 5

There is lots of evidence that we lose organs or traits that we don't need any more. That's what evolution is all about. An example of an organ in transition is the appendix. It used to help us digest meat when we ate it raw, but now it serves little function that we know of.

Answer 6

Yes, I've always thought we will evolve into what we now call 'aliens.' That's thousands of years down the road. We'll be much smarter, smaller, and have large heads and beady eyes. We'll all look the same. See "Communion" if you want to know what I'm talking about.

Answer 7

I don't really know. I think that we'll start to evolve more in the next million years or so because about millions of years ago we started to evolve so.

Answer 8

Yes, I beleive so.
I've heard before that it is beleived that the appendix used to have a physiological function. Mutations on the human body exist (by whichever means). From an evolutionary standpoint, if one of these mutations (changes) is favourable to survival, it will most probably be passed along and become the new "norm",

Answer 9

it's all possible....maybe we ourselves will engineer new organs, and through trial and error, choose the ones that best fit our current society? as in, a trial and error evolution by human engineers, rather than natural evolution?

after all, natural evolution has reached a standstill...There is not much of a competition for "survival" traits...Its more of a different game now with population leveling...so maybe the way to improove ourselves will come from a controlled and concious evolution through the use of advanced science?

Answer 10

Well since science claims that 'natural selection' determines traits and since humans don't kill each other or die out because of our traits, then no. There is no selection process to weed out the unwanted organs or traits in humans. No species "evolves" without a natural selection process that allows it to die out due to starvation or being killed by another species or lack of breeding because a better competitor came along.
