Read the book "The Singularity is Near". If we don't wipe ourselves out, or suffer a galactic calamity, then the world of 100-300 years from now will be hardly recognizable to people of today. Why? The "pefect storm" of technology. Three pieces in particular that will work together to vastly accelerate discovery.
1. Artificial Intelligence - Balmer and many others have sposored studies intended to basically reverse engineer the human brain. To do what? To put that same structure in computing machines. Smart machines.
2. Nano technology - engineering machines at the micron level or smaller. Machines that could live in your bloodstream, monitor, repair, interface machines with your organic neurons.
3. Molecular Genetics - A full understanding of all the proteins encoded by our DNA, and what they do would allow people to engineer better people. Yes, a potentially slippery slope.

The author of the book (forward by Bill Gates) believes that:
- People will merge with machines
- Death, and all kinds of problems today will be solved
- We will end up with a group consciousness

Sounds fantastic, but if you took a person from 1707 and brought them to NYC in 2007 they would be completely mystified. The difference in the next few centuries is that the rate of change will accelerate ever faster hitting the "knee" in the exponential curve (each past discovery, like reverse engineering the human brain to create AI speeds up future discoveries).

The book is imo overly optimistic, but I'm pretty sure that things are changing faster and faster and that we would not recognize how humans live in a few hundred years (human 2.0?)

Man should have had a base or colony on the other side of the moon or something. We are probably going to radiate this planet beyond hope and the genetic strains that are here now will either be wiped out and those that do survive will be radiated into mutations that will be the next development populating the planet. Nothing we will know. Just like we are the radiated mutations of what was here millions of years ago.

By learning from our mistakes and make immediate repair. Not by weaning us. We have evolved into highly intelligent beings. Surely most of us by now are aware that our current way of life can NOT maintain for much longer!
But it seems that we are a house divided and a divided house falls.

At the current rate of change to our environment humans are already evolving. But are we evolving quickly enough?
No.

Hopefully we will evolve enough to ensure the human species still exists well in to the future. This would require us to pull together as a global community. I hope this is coming soon! I can see the begining of it and it is beautiful!

The same way they have survived in the past - survival of the fittest. Humans will adapt to new surroundings and invent things to help them survive.
