Describe a future human evolutionary development.

[Capn Amerika]

I think that humans will gain the ability to switch genders by merely thinking about it. Also, humans will lose all remaining pockets of hair on their bodies and resemble naked mole rats.(except for the buck teeth)

6. We won't have toes

They'll have all grown together. Many people already have really small toes that are very close together and have webbing.
We don't need our toes to hang from trees anymore and we wear shoes all the time. As a result, we will lose our toes.

7. I think in the near future

advancing technology will give us the means to control our own development. It's entirely feasible that in one or two hundred years we will have the ability to do almost anything we want with our bodies, including a vastly extended lifetime.

I think we're entering an era with the possibility of changes even more dramatic than the Industrial Age.

Whether this will ultimately be to our benefit is something I'm less sure of. One of my favorite quotes, and I don't know who first said it, is, "We have grown very clever, but not yet wise." Truer words have never been spoken, in my opinion. We're just not mature enough to handle all the power we have. Like 6 year olds with BB guns.
