Looking at how the cells and body systems work together, it seems almost perfect. The way the eye operates and how each cell manages to stay alive. The way each body system works flawlessly in the overall system. So this made me wonder, if we really are evolving on a major scale, what could possibly happen next? So here is my question: what do you think the human race might look like in 100 million years? What "upgrades" could we have? P.S. For the sake of the discussion, assume that the human race will survive 100 million years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, that's an old theory. That's right, the birds came down from the trees, the feathers turned into scales and birds became lizzards and they became chimps which became us. I don't know how all of the internal bone structure, digestive system, cardio-pulminary system, and gastrointestinal system all accidentally got rearranged to be specifically advantages to each kind of critter, but there you have it. If we "evolved" up and we are the ultimate of evolution, why didn't we keep hooves so our feet wouldn't need shoes, or lots of hair so we wouldn't need clothing. It sure is lucky that we evolved the ability to make shoes just when we lost our hooves. Well, I think I will just stick with Truth found in God's word, and my next stop is a glorified body in my eternal home. <>< ><> Nathele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll lose the appendix with time as we don't eat grass anymore 2. The cocyx or tailbone will eventually go. 3. Depending on how hot or cold it will be will determine if we lose or gain more pigmentation in our skin. 4. More genetic diseases will arise but advances in medicine will help us overcome today's modern illneses. 5. Not evolutionary but maybe we'll learn form the mistakes of the past, get along better with each other. See the citizens of earth not as people from different countries but as fellow humans. Peace and tolerance while having a bit of crack at the same time and what i really want 6. Mutations give us superpowers like in the Series Heroes. Hiro is such a cool charachter. Later hombres.

One needs to look at their heart when they see all the handiwork of creation and want to deny The Creator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humanity has come to the point where "survival of the fittest" is no longer necessarily true. The rise of civilized culture and medicine means that far more people are able to survive for longer in the modern day world, increasing the probability for reproduction. This means that evolution will operate much more inefficiently than it has in the past due to our mental capacity to overcome the mechanisms that have classically driven evolution. Where our technology overcomes evolution though, it also introduces new variables into the equation. For example, the ease of world travel now days (and most likely more so in the future) will probably lead to a disappearance of races given enough time through interracial reproduction. The reason we have different races today is simply due to the fact that groups of prehistoric humans became geographically remote from eachother...leading to unique changes in each group to better suit their environments. This geographic barrier has disappeared and, given enough time, so might races. I also see the possibility that mankind becomes increasingly weaker physically while increasing greatly in mental capacity. Modern day conveniences have made the need for physical strength less and less mandatory for survival. Also, you could say that people of greater intelligence tend to take better care of their health than those who don't know any better. This may lead to evolutionary changes over time. You might try googling this too, I know there has been quite alot of speculation about this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
