What if humans evolved in Antarctica?

The way we would adapt is very simple. We would grow mole-like claws from our hands, and drill as deep as we could. Eventually, we would be warmed by the Earth’s core. This is exactly how evolution would turn out in the Antarctic.

Will humans ever live on Antarctica?

No-one lives in Antarctica indefinitely in the way that they do in the rest of the world. It has no commercial industries, no towns or cities, no permanent residents. The only “settlements” with longer term residents (who stay for some months or a year, maybe two) are scientific bases.

Why are human beings rarely found in Antarctica?

Due to its remoteness, inhospitable weather conditions and lack of natural land bridges connecting it to other continents, Antarctica has spent the last 35 million years in relative silence and seclusion. Prior to its discovery in 1820, no humans had ever set eyes on this icy continent.

Can you breathe on Antarctica?

The South Pole sits at 9,301 feet and the average elevation of Antarctica is 7,546 feet. This makes Antarctica the highest continent in the world and means there is less effectively available oxygen to breathe in Antarctica than on any other continent.

What is it like to live in Antarctica?

In other ways Antarctic life is quite like ‘home’ — people at the stations have fully insulated living and working quarters with their own rooms and bath/toilet facilities. The food is also similar to what you would eat at home, although there are less fresh fruit and vegetables.

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.

Could another species emerge and evolve just like humans?

So, in just a few hundred years, another species different from humans could emerge and evolve. Humans are notoriously different from birds. They belong to another evolutionary branch, and as such, they have very little in common with creatures like us. However]

What would humans look like if they lived underwater?

For that reason, if we wanted to live underwater, we would need a lot of physical changes. Fortunately for us, scientists have described several ways that humans would appear in an underwater world. Starting with the theory with the lighter changes, humans would have longer fingers with skin connections between each finger.
