#55 Possible Future Evolution (English)

Possible Future Evolution

There are many possibilities with possible future human evolution. We will adapt very differently from what we are now. Firstly there will only be one ethnicity of humans. With more people having babies with someone of a different ethnicity their children will be mixed ethnicity, then they will have babies with people of different ethnics and so on until we will all be the same ethnicity. We will eventually lose our distinguishable features such as freckles and certain eye colours, and instead all have one skin colour, eye colour and hair colour.

We will all be taller! Human height has grown (excuse the pun) rapidly over about 150 years by 10 cm. It is believed that the more a child eats, the more energy they have to grow. Thus making the possibilities for how high we can grow, potentially endless!

With the improvement of modern medicine and our dependency on it, we will have a weaker immune system. We do not let our body fight of the illness. Instead we turn straight to modern medicine for a cure. This proving to be a weakness if we are relying on external aids to cure us internally. So our immune system will have no use if we are using medicine and will not work.

Another way we can adapt is by the loss of hair. It will mainly occur in women though. Having less hair on various parts of a woman is seen as attractive. Women will be the first to be hairless whereas there is less of a demand for smooth skinned men, so men may either not adapt or be the slower than women.

Lastly one last way we are adapting is by self-improvement. It will be no surprise that technology will literally be a part of us in the future. So if we do not like a certain part of us we can use technology to create a new part of us. Some couples are recently choosing their child’s traits even before they are born. This is known as gene selection, the babies are called designer babies. 

In conclusion with some parts of us we don’t need anymore and some things we will gain, future human evolution is possible and will of course happen over the course of thousands of years.
