Evolution has been nearly halted due to loss of natural selection. Everyone lives and breeds.

Extinction.
If we continue to have wars, to kill one another, and develop new technologies to do so (nuclear weapons, smart bombs, unmanned aircraft predators, mini-nukes, neutron bombs), and we continue to degrade the environment, use up natural resources, and continue to reproduce and overpopulate the earth, yes, extinction will be our next evolutionary change.
Extinction is a very significant force in evolution. 99% of all species that have evolved, have become extinct. Extinction gives an evolutionary opportunity for other species. Just look at mammals after the extinction of the dinosaurs.

I believe that there will be further changes to teeth. They have changes so much since the beginnings of agriculture, getting smaller and less robust as our diets become ever-more-processed. Many people are being born with fewer teeth- wisdom teeth are less likely to appear than they once were. Of course this will not happen overnight- it has been happening for thousands of years.

there will be less genetic disorders. most of the freaks were in the old days but no one bred with them so their faulty genes werent passed on and there was natural selection. mankinds genes are getting better.

Young male teenagers heads will grow looking sideways over one shoulder, so they will not have to continue with the stupid habit of wearing silly baseball caps with the peak to one side, instead of over their eyes where it should be.

Losing our thinking power, since so many of us these days are relying on technology to do all the thinking for us.

A Prime Minister that sits on his bottom to watch telly, instead of shining the nation a gleaming smile, to show how important he is.

Taller and smarter, and probably due to genetic engineering.
