What will humans be like 6 million years from now?

Question

physically, culturally, mentally, etc.

Answer 1

I reckon we'll be on another planet and any other "things" living on this other planet will at first look on us as "Aliens" and I don't think we will look the same as we are today either.  I think we would have evolved with bigger heads (more brain capacity) and just maybe weaker bodies (through too many centuries of mainly sitting around at computers and things beyond computers and also flying around in our little individual aircrafts and being too lazy to walk, run and even do gym exercise any more).  I think we will have larger eyes through too much looking at screens and stuff.    We might even be wearing little suits which are necessary to screen out UV rays even before we finally left Planet Earth - Of course some remained on Planet Earth (the unscientific types who opted to have faith in their Home Planet and maybe resurrect all the man-made pollution like loss of water quality and awful air-borne diseases).  Like only the chosen few - the "Select" - were screened to be the pioneers to this other planet in our Galaxy like those with all sorts of knowledge and skills to hopefully launch life in an environment similar but not quite the same as Planet Earth's environment and called affectionately "Earth Two".  Our culture will be so different that I can't imagine it but it will be possibly like an ant colony and well organized with the high brows and the low brows but all will be super intelligent as those that aren't are deemed of no use and one can only imagine what might be the fate of lame brains?????  I think emotions like love and hate and frailties mentally might have many years prior been bred out of us but overall we are still "human beings" and still evolving into the next 6 million years.   Oh and the ones who remained on Planet Earth do die out quite quickly as the planet can no longer sustain them (or much else except the cockroaches and quite a few other insects).

Answer 2

So far all the answers have been along the lines of, we won't be here in 90 years, 100 years, whatever. If you asked the same question at the time of the 1st World War (1914-1918) you'd have probably have had the same answer. If you asked it in 1945 when the US atomised Hiroshima & Nagasaki you'd have heard the prophets of doom too. We'll be here a very long time to come yet because we are adaptable and resourceful and the most clever and intelligent species on earth. A very small glimpse of evolution can be demonstrated in my own family, my wife and both my daughters are missing two incisors (teeth), usually you have 4 incisors in the top jaw at the front and 4 in the bottom jaw at the front (your front teeth). They have their two front teeth in the top jaw, then are missing the two incisors either side and the space has been taken by the canine teeth which have moved forward to fill the space. Our dentist said to my wife that she and the children were just a little further along the evolutionary ladder! I'm still a Neanderthal according to her.

Answer 3

I don't think we will be around in 6 million years, to be honest.

Answer 4

Well personally the way we are going I don't believe we will last that long.  I think everything will be high tech. Computers will be considered like a book and no one wants to use it anymore. Physically I think everyone will look almost the same just new style. I think jeans would become old fashion and they would make something similar to jeans and call them reese lol. I don't know anyways um mentally right now we are very smart or so we think. I think we would be capable of using more than 10% of our brains and I think education would be a bigger deal. I think that you would have to go have of your life to school and once you turn about 40 then your able to get out of school and move onto making robots. Robots have been a big part of every lazy man's dream  and I think Robots would be made and you would be able to control them. I also think that new species would arrive. War, war has been a big part of us today I think it would even be worse then. Culturally i think everything will be organic or very unhealthy like cereal would be in a small miniature thing that is call FutureTasteyO's. Hope I gave you some good ideas.

Answer 5

It's unlikely that Homo sapiens will be present on the earth, even one million years from now!

Answer 6

I don't expect we will be around that long. If we make it 100 more years it will be a miracle.

Answer 7

At our rate the earth would have to start over again.

Answer 8

i dont think well be here that long.

i think the end of the world will come like hopefully 90 years.

and i only say that cause i want kids.

but mayeb god will give us a second chance.

to live again.
