Ive been reading about evolution on wikipedia and it dosent show about how we may develop and that kinda got me interested on how we will look in millions of years to come.

We won't evolve much. Modern medicine is keeping weak, genetically inferior people alive to survive and reproduce. Without modern medicine, these people would have died and these traits would have evolved out of of our population. Our intelligence is now crippling our ability to evolve and getting in the way of natural selection and survival of the fittest, since EVERYONE survives now.
But, if any evolution takes place I'd guess we'd get taller and bigger, and the various different races would likely disappear and we'll all eventually be one great big race of boring, light brown people.

Rebel (above) is right. Human evolution is pretty much defunct since medicine is able to suppress defects. Also, selection isn't happening anymore since our methods of finding a mate are different because of our intellegence.
BUT, there are some nice science-fiction ideas about future human evolution, such as in The Time Machine, where the human race has divided into two seperate races. But, more interesting than physical evolution in humans, I think, is social evolution. Will we all give up technology in the future and go back to being naked hunter/gatherers? Will global warming force us underground for shelter, or create a waterworld?

Hypothetically, is the only way I would discuss this. That being said; look to the possible selection pressures, for instance, global warming. This would have to be coupled with the proper variant mutation, so natural selection could have something to work on. Now I have to consider epistasis, drift, frequency dependent selection and drive possibilities for my mutation. Too much work. Use your imagination.

Evolution is actual sweetie, technology is a techniques previous the denial element. this is in elementary words obdurate non secular kinds that hang to the conception in an invisible sky fairy who refuse to ensure the fact. each and everything is in a consistent state of evolution and adjust. replace is evolution and the in elementary words consistent interior the universe. not some thing remains a similar for lengthy. Blink and the international has replaced. preparation Shaman... quantum physics rocks.

Use your imagination but, on a second thought, why? you won't be around to witness your success and/or failure!
