Answer 1

by that time humans would belong in the endangered species list because wars might occur between nations which would of course kill a lot of people.

Answer 2

Of course no person knows if human folk will be here in 200,000 years or, as all species do, becomes extinct. But it's fun to turn the idea over and over, isn't it? Say we are here: Consider that our kind really only popped into view about 30,000 years ago, and way back then we appeared a bit different than we do now. We are taller, brains are larger, we hide in caves a bit less, we're no longer hunter/gathers, well, not so much anyway, and we live in cities, have greater understanding of Earth and its mysteries than our fear-driven ancestors who invented gods to save them from earthquakes, demons, witches, and the falling rain. In 200,000 years ahead? Wow! More of the same, but moreso. I'm looking forward to it myself. If, that is, human beings aren't extinct.

Answer 3

200,000 years is not so long a period of time for evolution. We are larger now than a thousand years ago mostly because of nutrition, not because of genetics. I suspect that we will intervene in our own evolution (breeding programs, modified environments, etc) long before natural selection will produce any significant changes in our genetics.

Answer 4

The world is divided into three major camps - vanity, greed and sloth. We will become what we have instilled within ourselves in a pure form by then. Or should that be now?

Answer 5

We are not likely to change much in 200 years! Even assuming you mean 200,000 , there may not be much physical change. We have tools and exteligence that allow is to modify our environment and our behaviour, rather than adapt to it.

Answer 6

You mean what will we look like if the world is still around then?!!

I predict we will go back to a primape form and start throwing poop at each other and swinging from trees!!! de-evolution lol

Answer 7

Dust

Answer 8

We won't be here.

Scientists are saying we will be sucked into the sun about that time. But at least everyone will stop moaning about all the rain as it will be too hot for that and we'll all have a good suntan. Ouch.

Answer 9

we will change depending on what will help us to survive better in the world.

THere are, however, many scientists who believe that, with such advanced treatments for diseases etc. that any changes in our dna that would have lead to evolution, will now not, because they will provide no advantage over modern medicine, and so will just die out.

Answer 10

gills and fins we'll end up back in the sea once all the land is flooded from the melting of the polar ice caps.

Answer 11

Judging by the way people appear almost permanently glued to their mobile phones we will have one arm fastened to the side of our heads.
