What will the shape of human face in future??

Question

The human face is constantly changing ,although the process is very slow. in prehistoric times, the face was more like a ape. the shape must be changing in present time also. what significant changes will be in human face, say after a million years from today??

Answer 1

probably the face-body structure that we are constantly seeing as the extra-terrestrials description,will be in fact our face of the future.,bigger eyes,reduced mouth,etc.........

Answer 2

nicely, that's exceptionally complicated to say something about the destiny, yet possibly imagine about now. "Evolution" basically factors out that (a million) human beings have a tendency to be like their father and mom, and (2) some human beings would have more desirable youthful ones than others. So, searching round you on the international at present, what human beings have more desirable little ones than others? Now imagine about the international 500 years in the past-- the valuable (in words of little ones) communities were very different than they are at present. when you consider that evolution takes position so slowly (1000's of thousands of years!), yet those differences in human societies happen so quickly (1000's of years) i imagine that that's incredibly complicated for all and sundry to foretell. There are some issues that seem for particular though-- as an party, people have "developed" a lot worse inventive and prescient than they used to have (no man or woman reported evolution makes us "more desirable"). previously glasses were invented, being close to-blind would have sucked. you may now basically get contacts or laser surgical operation! there's no _evolutionary pressure_ that retains undesirable sighted human beings from having a lot of little ones. similar's genuine about countless well-being circumstances-- that's basically not so major to be proof against an infection at present because it became previously the discovery of cleansing soap, as an party. i imagine your instructor became basically pulling your leg about the specifics-- regardless of the indisputable fact that it really is a funky question. What "forces" are at artwork that make some human beings be more desirable valuable/have more desirable youthful ones than others?

Answer 3

My best guesses:

* Skin will be lighter and more sensitive (because of a better protection from the sun and spending much time indoors, i guess skin pigmentation will become less important)

* the jaw could become smaller as a result of the complete loss of the third molar (the third molar is already becoming less common in the last millenia and is not really needed. indeed it is often removed artificially, as it has too little space in the jaw present.)

* facial hair could become less (this would only occur, if the preference of less body hair, which can be observed in western countries today, leads to a sexual selection)

these are only guesses. they are hardly backed up scientifically, as evolution is hard to predict.

Answer 4

well, if predicted correctly by scientists, the sun will get more intense as the ozone depleats right? So the skin on the face will probably develop more protective hair, and tougher, thicker skin. oh, and FYI waldo, or whoever wrote about that past life thing, that was in a movie!

Answer 5

Future Face, an exhibition at London's Science Museum, asks this question: Will the widespread use of digital enhancement to "improve" faces in photographs suggest the kind of face that people will have in the future?

Sandra Kemp, the exhibit curator, is a leading academic in visual culture. She notes that many people no longer have "sticky photo albums" - that is, they no longer have hard copy output of their pictures. Instead, pictures are held in digital format and viewed on computer screens or televisions. She points out that these pictures can be photoshopped at will and "people are enhancing their faces all the time." She states:

"We are subtly being conditioned by the digital face and heading towards a face which no human being could have been born with. This face is smooth and narrow, with a small jaw, big lips and manga Japanese eyes for the females."


(From Future Face Book)
It is an odd coincedence that we should have the technology to alter this most important of human identifiers at exactly the same time that we are working hard to develop face recognition technologies. After all, your face is your most frequently used ID - you show it everywhere you go. We are hardwired for biometric face recognition. Newborn infants have been shown to track faces immediately.

Face recognition software typically works by using a set of eigenfaces, which are essentially standardized facial features derived from a statistical analysis of many pictures of faces. A large sample of digital images of human faces, lined up at the eyes and mouths, is sampled at the same pixel resolution. The principal eigenface in a set looks like a fuzzy averaged androgenous human face. The others add the necessary variations.



(From Eigenface)
Many of us who have digital photo albums with simple photo-editing software have done "clean-up jobs" on our faces, or those of our loved ones. People who have plastic surgery done are just "photoshopping" their actual face. What happens when more and more people seek an idealized look, an average of the most beautiful faces? You would get a generic beautiful face for everyone - and a lot of useless face recognition software (which has a high rate of failure even now, with all of our different, imperfect faces).

Science fiction writer William Gibson, in his novel Count Zero, had a pretty good handle on this idea in 1986 when he refers to a sort of statistical beauty; an average of pretty faces:

"He would have expected a routine beauty, bred out of cheap elective surgery and the relentless Darwinism of fashion, an archetype cooked down from the major media faces of the previous five years...
The faces ... were like God's own hood ornaments."

Early work on computerized face recognition was done in the 1960's; the first work on eigenfaces was done in 1989. A number of face recognition products exist today; you may see some of them at Customs desks around the world.

Answer 6

Humans do not evolve as quickly as other organisms such as a virus or bacteria, it takes tens of thousands of years. After such time the changes are totally unpredictable because we don't understand evolution to its fullest, gaining intelligence seemed to be a factor in evolutions in my opinion.

Answer 7

it will depend on the environmental conditions then... though perhaps human brain has been evolved to quite good extent... but... evolution never stops though its a very low pace procedure...

there was an article about 2 years back... that human may evolve into superhumans after millions of years... cuz till then there wont be vulnerable individuals, but those who got strong vigour to survive those conditions...
they may develop skin to resist extreme heat or extreme cold... brains may evolve extrasensory powers... and so on...

depends... cuz truth is always stranger than fiction... and in my opinion this imagination is not fictitious

Answer 8

I thouroughly remember a past life as a human from the future. Our skin was literally white like office paper, we almost didn't have eyebrows ( he had slightly noticeable), our blood was purplish, our eyes didn't have eyelashes and our heads were perfectly round. Some of us did have hair on our head because he chose to because it's cool.

Answer 9

Ha ha ha...Hollywood has the answer he he. Evolution is only in the mind its reality exist there not in test tube lab. Cannot be tested nor observe.

Answer 10

I don't believe I was ever evolved from a cave man.He's on the Gieco commercials anyway.
