What are humans going to evolve into?

Just as the great apes (including chimps, gorillas, bonobos, orangutans) and homo sapiens splintered into different species from common ancestors, humans will likely not evolve into just one new type of ape, but several.

What is the ideal human body?

The “perfect body” includes a shorter spine, modified eyes and ears, and legs inspired by an ostrich. ( Image credit: October Films) As a replacement for human legs, which have a lot of their mass distributed far from the center of the body, Roberts looked to bipedal ostriches for inspiration.

Can humans be perfect?

Your body is far from perfect. You’re the product of millions of years of evolution, but this process doesn’t strive towards “perfection”. There are so many bits of anatomy that could be much better designed. …

How does the body evolve?

As early humans spread to different environments, they evolved body shapes that helped them survive in hot and cold climates. Changing diets also led to changes in body shape. The bodies of early humans were adapted to very active lifestyles. Their bones were thicker and stronger than ours.

What does the ideal human body look like?

That person thinks the ideal human body looks like an extraterrestrial … complete with pointed ears, emu legs and a baby’s head emerging from her navel. Really! We’re not supposed to look like this?

What would the future of human evolution look like?

A few centuries in the future, genetic engineering would allow the alteration of humans to adapt them to specific conditions. To build spacecraft directly in orbit, we would create humanoid beings called vacuumorphs. These beings would be adapted to survive in the vacuum of space without gravity and without any special protection.

Did our pelvises get smaller when our skulls got bigger?

Over millions of years of evolution, we’ve picked up some less than ideal characteristics. We have evolved the ability to walk on two legs, and have larger brains than our primate cousins, which are obviously both pretty useful. However, these shifts may have caused our pelvises to get smaller, right when our skulls got bigger.

What would humans look like if they had longer fingers?

Starting with the theory with the lighter changes, humans would have longer fingers with skin connections between each finger. Thus, we would become palmipeds like ducks. Our eyes would develop a special membrane to see in low-light conditions, just like cats.
