Answer 6

dear friend

evolution is gradual change occurring in organisms. and it takes several centuries for any evolutionary process. this change is mostly to suit its external sources. evolution may even leads to disappearance on certain vestigial organs or it may  evolve (make)an organ to suit its life. there are certain organs in our body to be disappeared like appendix,nipples in males, etc .

in the same way there is possibility on getting some new organs in our body. some organ that makes us to tolerate the tremendous ammount of pollution in our surroundings

Answer 7

Human evolution is at a standstill. Until we can stop bickering at each other and stop trying to kill each other we aren't going upwards or downwards.

Humans as a race have an unlimited potential to be something powerful and great. Could you imagine if everybody put their fists down actually said "hello" to each other and started to get to know each other?

Oh, wait! I just woke up.

We are no better than cavemen right now. Until the human consciousness raises itself to a more progressive, positive state, I don't see us changing one bit. It's all up to us.

I hope this answers your question. Sorry about the ranting.

Answer 8

Super powers and jedi ability !!!

Answer 9

Jedi powers!

Answer 10

lo que?

Answer 11

my understanding of evolution is that it is based on one's ability to adapt to its changing surrounds...an animal is born with a characteristic that makes it easy for it to adapt and then that characteristic is passed down to the next generation.  If an animal is born with a characteristic that makes it difficult to adapt it dies and eventually that flaw is weeded out of the gene pool.  Humans no longer adapt to their environment...we adapt the environment to us.  People are born with genetic flaws all the time but they don't die out because we find ways to make it possible for them to survive.  In short...we are not evolving and we won't until we let nature take its course.

Answer 12

I believe that we are going to experience a Dark Age before we have any more progress. It has become fashionable to disregard the truth and be Politically Correct, this trend can only lead to a general downfall as we delude ourselves. We will have to come around to valuing the truth again before we can make progress. I guess man is so stupid that periodic Dark Ages are necessary evils. We can't evolve without natural selection to weed out the weak and /or stupid.

Answer 13

We do not know, but humans are constantly evolving. It is impossible to predict the evolutionary path of any animal.

Answer 14

Some of you suckers might get up onto my level.

Answer 15

Auto-destruction

Answer 16

Once Global warming kicks in; which in itself, will create a big freeze as the North Atlantic conveyor belt stops because of the influx of fresh water from the poles,glaciers and perma-frost thaw, we can look forward to being hunter gatherers again as the mass populace resort to survival of the fittest.

Starvation Will drive the human population to the door of extinction.

Answer 17

There's no possible way we can know, but I would say we are weakening ourselves significantly with modern medicine and birthing procedures.  So eventually women will not be able to have babies by themselves.

Answer 18

telepathy

Answer 19

HIV is currently doing quite well to improve human genetics.

Answer 20

telekinesis, the ability to fly, general psychic abiities. I think anyway.

Answer 21

We jump in that UFO and get the **** outta here!

Answer 22

Teletransporteishon (¿?) or Hollograms (esta la sé por Jem!)

XD

Answer 23

Middle Management

People will all drive BMW's very fast up motorways,

Men will born wearing a shirt and tie

Women's first outfit will be a pink power suit

Slopping shoulders will be added to the national curriculum

Everyone will be born with the ability to mind read emails

Pocket money is to be phased out in favour of an expense account

Lips and sifters will swap places

No change there then!

Answer 24

I've heard the pinkie finger will be phased out along with the tonsils and appendix.

Answer 25

well, seeing as how evolution is at a near standstill thanks to modern science and medicine, the next step is genetic engineering since mankind really isn't going anywhere on its own.

Answer 26

Human evolution? I don´t think so, we´re working hard to leave to our sons and grandsons a planet completely destroyed!

Answer 27

Mass destruxction by various natural disasters like earthquake, flood, typhoon, tsunami etc.

Huge percentages of the population will be killed & these things will happen with increasing regularity as golbal warming  gets worse. I predict that by the end of this century human & animal population of the world will be quite well depleted leaving the remaining inhabitants of earth to eveolve to suit the new climate changes & increase i8n ocean size etc.

Answer 28

because of all these modern gadgets, the younger generation have been shown to have more dextrous thumbs! honestly, though , with today's lifestyles, Americans will probably evolve into giant blobs.

Answer 29

We leave this planet,or face extinction.

Answer 30

leave this planet and go and destroy another.

We r a virus

Answer 31

All species are transitional species.  Humans became bipedal at a cost: weak sigmoid shape of back, slipped disks, lower back pain, choke easily, weak exposed abdomen, and weak knees.  Natural selection should, over time, improve upon these structures to increase our likely hood of successful reproduction.  I just don't know that it will have the time to do it with our species.  Over the course of evolution our brains have grown significantly, but what have we done with them?  With these brains we do everything we can to go against evolution:  violence vs. our ability for complex communication, fanatical religious beliefs vs. rational, logical thought, and "clean" coal/nuclear research vs. sustainable development research.  It is like, we want to become extinct.  When the world is eventually dwindled down because of war, environmental degradation, natural catastrophe, and disease, the new specie(s) will emerge through the process of genetic drift.  Isolated population(s)=genetic drift=speciation(s).  More than one species might evolve, but there will probably end up being only one dominant species.  If evolution is anything, it is not predictable.
