What will be the next step in mankind evolution?

Question

New finger?

Wings?

3 eye?

Other? (what)

Answer 1

Anyone who is born with an inate resistance to pollution and/or radiation poisoning will have a better chance of surviving childhood and having offspring, who may also have these traits. Also, anyone who has the ability to live unedrground will obviously have a better chance of having more offspring. Being tolerant of high CO2 levels will also help.

So, there you have it, if you are a pollution and radiation loving
1/3 mole-1/3 man-1/3 shrub, you and your kind will inherit the Earth.

Answer 2

As far as I understand as a microbiologist (not as an expert of genetics ), evolution needs (A) either some kind of mutation which is very beneficial and the gene(s) responsible for this mutation are dominant (this kind of mutant can win others and spread its mutant genes into the population) or (B) an extraordinary severe catastrophe kills nearly all people on the globe and only two persons (a male and a female) shall survive and continue on the long and winding road of the Mankind.

My answers:
(A) a mutant with a very strong back can travel by car or air-plane more actively than others and earn more money....and in the future, I am afraid, just rich people will survive because they can pay the bills of Health Services...but mutant genes win only, if mutants have any time to reproduce themselves before they get old and have to pay for their Health Services...sorry, I think that I shall rethink this alternative (A)...
(B) Whatever can happen if the male and the female are interested to have children and one of them has some kind of dominant mutant gene affecting on her/his phenotype ...and if they shall have a family containing sons and daughters and their children will marry each other, fatal recessive genes shall keep the population in certain limits...

Remember! I am just a microbiologist! A bacterium knows that mutation is nearly always fatal! They thrust on 16SsRNA!

Answer 3

the slow removal of stupidity.
We are the next level. 6 fingers and 6 toes are dominant genes. most human have 5. thats evolution.
But it will probably be some internal mod that will allow us to deal with pollution or disease better.(like sickle cell anemia counters malaria). until we are forced to evolve rapidly by consistantly entering a new enviroment for multple generations, we wont see it.

Then again it might be an external human force that will cause us to evolve. like the introduction of biomechanical machines that integrate with our bodies and minds. think Borg

Answer 4

Humans have been "devolving" as former developments needed for survival advantage are no longer required.
Because of increasing c-sections, natural childbirth will eventually become anatomically impossible.
Also because of all the medical interventions relating to heart disease, the human heart will continue to become progressively more vulnerable to a variety of heart malfunctions.
Eyesight will continue to decline as decent eyesight
(without correction) is no longer a survival advantage to individuals.
Other diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease will continue to spread across demographics as humans continue to devolve.
And as a previous answerer has stated, humans must genetically adapt to environmental pollutants.

Answer 5

The human species is set to evolve within a thousand years into a ‘coffee’ coloured race of 6 ½ foot giants who can live up for up to 120 years, according to a new research report released recently.

Answer 6

There won't be a next step until some sort of selective pressure is introduced. After that happens, the next step will largely depend on what the pressure is.

Answer 7

Better radiation damage repair.

Answer 8

I asked God....he got back to me with this question...

Would you rather have 2 testicles the size of cantalopes, or 17 normal sized testicles????

Answer 9

flashlights built in your eyes

Answer 10

bigger heads, longer limbs, and the dissappearance of the apendix. (we have no use for it)
