Question

What is mankind's next most likely evolutionary change?

Answer 1

Massive forearms to compensate for carpal tunnel and endure long hours on a keyboard.

Answer 2

Since there is no evidence of change in the past, why should we expect any in the future...We can't link modern man to any of the other hominids....mankind is conspicuously showing no signs of evolution, but rather a lot of adaptation!

Answer 3

The phasing out of our smallest toe.

Answer 4

Genetic selection

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

4 FINGERS ON EACH HAND AND HIGHER BRAIN CAPACITY

Answer 8

Taller and smarter, and probably due to genetic engineering.

Answer 9

Cyborg - human with computer and mechanical implants.  

We are already seeing the beginning with hip & knee replacements, pace makers, etc.  

I predict we will see computer, ipod, iphone implants within 25 years if not sooner

Answer 10

I believe that we're too numerous and too wide-spread to be currently evolving.

Answer 11

getting smaller.

Answer 12

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

Answer 13

I think our five senses' will enhance. That's the only pratical thing. I can think of.

Answer 14

That we will lose most of are hair because we have clothing that make it useless.

Answer 15

Learn to live with little fresh water and less land area.

Answer 16

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.

Answer 17

If we keep stuffing our faces, we'll probably go back to being fat chimps.

Answer 18

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.

Answer 19

LOL @ DUCK C

Answer 20

mankind will be replaced by clones or hybrid clones.

Answer 21

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.

Answer 22

no toes.

bigger and dumber.

cheers!

Answer 23

An extra organ for digesting saturated fat.

Answer 24

Either going to lose a toe or finger. I think men will lose their nipples....Everyone will have brown eyes. We will contine to get taller.

Answer 25

We will lose our legs because we are useing them less and less...

Answer 26

Well we continue to get taller,

with the mixing of races, i see us as a one color, taller race.

world wide, at some point.

Answer 27

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.

Answer 28

Square eyes, flat bums and two very dexterous thumbs.

Answer 29

ear loop for mobile phones!!!

Answer 30

Maybe telepathy or some kind of gestalt.

Answer 31

A lot of mens bottoms will turn into a v****a!
