charles darwin's theory of evolution is what they thought us in school. so are there any possibilities that our structural from by now will be changed in the future? are we going to have those big heads and small bodies because of relying mostly on remote controlled things? lol..

Although humans are getting taller, it it due to better nutrition allowing us to achieve our full height potential, not that our height potential is actually increasing. Also, our brain size is limited by the human birth canal, which is small, due to our bipedality (walking on 2 legs), and so we cannot actually develop much larger brains, because those babies would die during birth (however, consider c-sections. I wonder if that will relieve that limitation? It's cool to think about).
It is impossible to predict how evolution will occur and where it will lead, because evolution does not have a goal in mind. It is just a process of species becoming better-adapted to the environment in which they live at that moment in time. In other words, the beneficial adaptation of this generation may be obsolete in future generations, due to different pressures from the environment.

All living things continue to evolve as long as changes occur in the environment. Some of our evolution may not be what we would choose, though. I always wonder if human eyesight is getting gradually worse since people with worse eyesight can wear glasses or have surgery and aren't as likely to suffer fatal consequences. That's just one aspect of human evolution I wonder about.

The people of the future will be descended from the people of today who have children. So -- who's having children?
Women with educations and careers have fewer children than those without.
The next stage of evolution for humanity would be for the women of the future to be less interested in having careers.

sure, of course. the international is often changing, such because of the fact the existence on it. although, I do have confidence people will evolve slower in some procedures. on account that we don't would desire to artwork as no longer hassle-free to proceed to exist, that is attainable for exceptionally much every physique to get their genes into the gene pool. which ability no actual flaws in our race will cut back and no advantages will develop. yet we even have innovations that would substitute our appearances. Who is familiar with.

yes. Look at average height of a person from 1900 and 2000. We are getting taller
