will there be a human race ?

Question

If the human race is still around in one million years what form do you think it will be ?

Answer 1

Interesting question. The trend in physiology in the last few generations has been towards an increase in overall height and build. We are both taller and thicker, on the average, than our great great grandparents, due in part to improvements in nutrition and healthcare. Also, because of our current global connectedness and a shift away from isolationism both geographically and socially, I believe that the human form, if allowed to progress for another million years, will be much more homogeneous. There likely won't be such notable differences in skin, eye and hair color as cultures and ethnicities continue to blend.

Answer 2

We haven't evolved too drastically in the past million years, so my guess would be that it will be pretty subtle. Especially with so much technology, the need to have physical evolution to adapt to hardships is reduced considerably. So if we're still around, probably not a big difference ohysically. Most of the change will probably be intellectual (hopefully toward smarter!) ;o)

Answer 3

my guess is, humans will be weaker, as bodily tasks won't be as important as it is now. We will also lose some teeth i guess. At least the wisdom tooth (it's getting less and less common). Olfactory sense will weaken, too. Pilosity will diminish. Eyesight might improve.

These are only extrapolation of trends which are already noticeable. Of course, this is only an (educated) guess.

Answer 4

I doubt very seriously the human race will be aroound in a million years... or even 1000 years.

Answer 5

It's difficult to say considering that our evolution is not likely to be natural, rather we will get to a point where we augment our own bodies either with integration with machines / computers or we will simply make our genetics superior, so rather than us looking different we will perform different.
Honestly it's difficult to say as I'm not much of a trans-humanist, but it depends on how our environment changes and how we choose to change to suit it.

Answer 6

human form probably.

Just to elaborate, if we aren't in human form, it wouldn't really still be a human race, now would it?

Answer 7

probably the same form that it is in today - maybe environmental factors will change our survival skills, but other than that....Then again doesn't it depend on whether or no you believe in the theory of evolution?

Answer 8

Half cyborg Half human

Answer 9

Probably evolved into mindless humans.... computers will be in charge!

Answer 10

Extinct
