evolve enough to be able to fly?

No, things evolve to adapt to their environment. Nothing in our environment is telling us that we need to learn how to fly. It isn't necessary for survival, thus it most likely will not happen.

No, too many adaptations are necessary before flight would be possible. We would need to be smaller and much lighter for a start. We would also have to sacrifice our hands and they are a distinctive part of being human. Evolution has no purpose or objective. Animals that can fly did not set out to do so but evolved certain characteristics that allowed them to fly.
Why do we need to evolve flight when we have perfectly good aeroplanes?
By the way, the idea that we use only 10% of our brains is a myth. We use all of our brains, some people just have better brains.

No
Human evolution has ceased to exist as pretty much, most everyone lives long enough to reproduce.
There is no predator chasing us down that will kill off the ones of us that don't fly.
Or technically...humans sank all of our evolution credits into the brain...and technically we can fly...in an airplane...but that's not what you were asking...so no, we are not along the lines of evolving enough to fly.

I don't believe that we will grow wings anytime soon. We use a limited percentage of our brain right now. I believe that the power of the mind could lead us to fly. Levitation would be basic but a start. Hopefully we can unlock the secrets of our brain.

Humans have already evolved enough to be able to fly:
It's called an

Yes, if enough people can develop their chest muscles enough to be able to flap their arms fast enough. So go to it.

id put my life savings on it never happening.It would take billions of years of evolution n this planet wont last that long.
