I understand your question, but the only way that could happen is if some of us are geographically separated for a very long time, say, 100,000 years or longer. And different selective pressures are applied to each group so that they evolve in different directions. Frankly I can't see this happening unless a large group jumps into a rocket and heads out into space, not that it could not happen in the future, of course.

Finally someone who understands that we are not evolved from chimps. I guess I have to pretty much agree with the last answer. It could be almost any number. Infinity is obviously too high. The upper limit would be determined by population, and available niches. If one day we artificially made different species, i.e homo policeman, and homo doctor, we might have a pretty diverse society. There was a book called "A Mote in God's Eye" where an alien culture evolved in that way (a great book)

Uh. No. you could take a difficulty-loose biology type. The beginning of the universe has in basic terms approximately no longer something to do with the evolution of our species. bobbing up a healthful human isn't all that complicated, while those born risky die off. That leaves purely healthful ones to reproduce, increasing the prospect of in good shape little ones. Your "opportunities" are patently made up on the spot. Evolution isn't approximately achieving perfection. it relatively is approximately people who're superb perfect to a definite ecosystem being greater probable to proceed to exist and reproduce in that ecosystem. it is not approximately people who're appropriate, using fact there is not any such factor. dying isn't a ailment, that's a organic technique. no person is hoping for the day while no person dies. human beings die, yet i'm enormously confident it is not a effect of a constrained telomerase sequence. whether it replaced into, the question of "who" placed it there is ridiculous, because it could have been genetic like quite a few different area of our DNA. once you're suggesting that some greater being is in the back of all of it, then how do you clarify the upward push in elementary lifespan over the years? Did God decide for to make longer telomerase sequences?

I have to agree that the way civilization is held together right now there isn't much chance of separate species evolving. However I have noticed that people who are wealthier are paying fertility speacialists and other scientists to make sure that the babies they have are more atheletic or more intelligent than other economic classes. I think that while this wouldn't produce different species I do think that in the long run it could almost produce one of those Sci-Fi scenarios where you almost have two different societies living on top of each other.

As long as we maintain a global civilisation - none. The reason being that we will adapt our surroundings to survive, rather than adapt to our surroundings.
If civilisation collapsed then and we couldn't get around the world to interbreed at all. Then each isolated pocket of people could evolve into separate species.

Well, one way to look at this question is to see each and every extant genetic abnormality--wether considered positive or negative--as the possible basis for a new species. I can't conceive how to count the number of such a thing, but hey, you at least have some ball park idea.

You should see the movies time machine and X men..
Thousands of species might evolve from us.. like the creatures we see in star wars..You will learn when you see these movies..your imagination will get you the answer..

this question is a good question but, about the number of species that may evolve from humans , my answer is :
FROM ONE TO INFINITE.

there will be no species but human being will be more intelligent with evolution.

None. Evolution doesn't happen.
