What would human evolution create in the future?

There is no evidence that any of the described traits are favorable.  Larger eyes are might or might not be of any benefit.  Although more area might improve reading, we have not needed more light gathering since Edison invented the light bulb.  The shape of the nose is subject to multiple pressures.  If we all eat processed foods, sharp teeth lose their advantage.  If we eat more steak, no.  Our front teeth will remain flat as it is essential for speech.  Our lips cannot lose much or they alter our speech patterns.  Our pinkies, so long as we use keyboards are unlikely to recede, and as our interactions with technology increase, might increase in functionality.  Larger brains may be possible, but it may be limited by birthing.\n\nI think you received a bigger dose of Science Fiction than Science.  Challenge your teacher to demonstrate the selective pressures that would produce the changes he suggested.

I guess you mean what changes in the human physique will evolution make in the next 100 years.\n\nNone.  100 years is an extremely short period of time in terms of evolution and changes cannot be expected.  Furthermore, humans are not under any compelling natural selection pressure at the present such that their physical structure would evolve.

well its not a very long span of time so there will be very very minute changes.. if we remain alive, then i think some of the changes can be:\n1) average height will reduce\n2) we will develop some adaptations in our skin, lungs and eyes to protect ourselves from pollution\nand many other possible changes...\nwe must not say that we wont be alive after 20000 years.... always hope for the best........\nLETS MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE

I don't know, but I think it would be cool if we evolved and had super powers like the x-men.

Evolution...hands down\nthere may be a god but there is still evolution\njust look at viruses...adapting to be more effective\nsame goes for animals...but longer time periods\nand we have a skull record that takes humans to these lemur things....

If there is a selective pressure to do so, then perhaps, given enough generations, this will occur. I consider this pretty unlikely. Even if it did happen, evolution is a slow process, and it would take, at the least, tens of thousands or even millions of years.\n\nMore likely, in the next few centuries, someone will genetically engineer pets to do such.\n\nOh, and it's organisms, not organizisms.

I hope so...\n\nI would like to imagine a future of space travel for the human race.\n\nBut I have no expereince in the field to offer suggestions.

Personally it would freak me out.  I think this would lead to more questions than answers. \n\nWho will raise the child? \nWhat are the expectations of the child?\nHow is the genome comprised of?  Disease free?  Superior human strength?\nWhat is the purpose of this super-human?  To better the world?  To rule?  As soldiers?  As our slaves?\n\nToo much to think about.  I'm happy with evolution the way it is, nice, slow, and steady.

Evolution is the gradual change in a group of organisms based on surroundings and circumstances that make one population more favorable. Since we do not know what future events might select for homo sapiens, we cannot predict how they will evolve. For example, if we had a full out nuclear war, perhaps a small group of humans would survive that were very tolerant to radiation. There is no way to know. That being said, humans have somewhat overcome evolution because of our advanced medicine- we can let people live who would otherwise be selected against, like people with debilating diseases.

It's going to be a very clean and sterile world. Imagine a world without telephone poles. No electrical cords of any kind. No gas stations. No super markets. No stores. Why would you need these things when they'll have replicators. Very much like Star Trek. You just tell it what you want and poof there it is. Someday everything will be run off of satellites. I mean everything. From flashlights to your car. If they even have cars. Why would you need a car when you can just think about where you want to be and it happens. Energy will simply be beamed down from satellites. It's a creepy world. They'll look back on us and wonder how we could live a barbaric life as we do. The way things are going though. There's a distinct possibility mankind will kill itself off before then. No doubt there will be a one world order. Maybe even time travel. The future is a scary place.\n.

NONE.  All things were created!  Things adapt to changing environments, but they never turn into something entirely new.

God made the first humans over 160,000 years ago and he made a lot of them, both male and female. Look around - this is the world that God has made, including evolution. God made evolution to carry his creation forward. Some of those humans, both male and female, don't have children, and some of them do. It's all part of God's creation. Isn't it great?

"Given where mankind has achieved from even the year 1901 to now where can man go or achieve by 2101?"\nWho knows, maybe our "superiority" will lead us to finally blow ourselves up. :-P\nI absolutely agree with Professor Beatz; I only wish to add one thing. You make it sound as if the whole evolutionary process is a matter of random events. In fact, randomization occurs in the generation of variability (mutations, crossing-over), but natural selection is not random. Evolution does not have a purpose, but neither is it aleatory.\nAlso, evolution is not a "one-time deal" unless you are considering it as a process leading to humans. That is arrogant. \nAnd thinking that evolutionary processes in other places of the universe will work as they did here and lead to human-like beings is more arrogant, in my opinion.

I don't consider technology the new evolution.  I see it more as the only evolution, at least since the beginning of recorded history.  Since the beginning of recorded history has human anatomy adapted to improve quality of life, or increase the rate of survival?  No.  Technology is the only thing that has provided those things.\n\nIn another light, technology may be the only human evolution, but it is also approaching a point where it can realistically be discussed in terms of it having its own evolution.  A point where it is no longer an aid to human functioning but instead begins replacing human functioning.  Just as mammals eventually replaced the dinosaurs, ala The Matrix, Terminator, etc.

Because of evolution and adaptation.

Evolution is infinite.
