There's been homo habilis, homo erectus, etc. Now we're homo sapiens, but what's next?

Please do not just say something about God and evolution being nonexistent.

Humans are always evolving. Did you know that there are people born without wisdom teeth or an appendix? Who knows... soon nobody may have these organs which seem all too problematic these days.

If you wait for natural processes, these things will take time. Lots and lots and lots of time. The entirety of human history is just a drop in the bucket. In other words, a natural speciation similar to the others that you refer to will undoubtedly be a long, long time coming.

On the other hand, once we begin to grab onto our own genes and give them a real shake, I expect a HUGE number of changes to occur. Enough will undoubtedly accumulate in such a short time that maybe two hundred years from now most of humanity will be completely distinct from what you and I are like. After all... who WOULDN'T want to have the best of possible genes, at least for their children if not for themselves?

Those who are against such radical alterations will probably just be left behind.

We are a species that continues to destroy our environment. Give it a couple more thousand years and humans will be extinct and another life form will take over. Probably the chimps.

As for evolution, of course we will evolve, just like every other organism on this earth. It is hard to tell what naural selection will choose for our future humans, if they are still alive for it to take place.

definite, I settle for this. Its how issues artwork, species come and species bypass. The solar will die in 5 billion years, which ability we would purely have approximately 5 billions years to stay. yet to tell you the reality, the human race could wipe itself out in the subsequent a million,000 years. there are such fairly some wars, and failures, and ailments etc.... whether we are alive a million billion years from now, the solar is increasing, and a million billion years from now, Earth gets warmer. And in 2 billion years, our oceans will maximum probable boil away. Sow e have below 2 billion years to get our act mutually. purely issues that would save our species is to realize interstellar shuttle, to pass to an entire different photograph voltaic equipment. And in a million billion years (if we proceed to exist that long) the human race will probable we progressed adequate to bypass to different photograph voltaic systems. yet while we dont proceed to exist, thats ok, all human beings has to bypass some day.

The next step of the evolutionary chain is spiritual:
There is a new group of children being born that is more evolved than previous generations. I don't necessarily think they are a new species. Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow Children

Well, if you make a big quantum jump over science, the next level is the spiritual, and there is a new spiritual man coming to take the place of what we see now. We're gonna have to learn to tap into the unused potential of our minds to do it, and I think a big, really big crisis is coming that will leave only a remnant to evolve to the next level.

Humans will eventually destroy themselves making way for a new dominant species.

Another monkey perhaps?

If things on earth evolve then why do we die? why don't we just get older and better? And why do we get cancer and other diseases instead of becoming immune to them?

Is it me or did God forgot to put evolution in His creations?

Nothing will take our place. We will all die out leaving us to only ascend.
