Will humans look different in 1,000 years?

It's believed humans inhabiting the Earth 1,000 years from now will have very different physical characteristics than us now, and new technologies may be the reason why. This outlook is due to 'Mindy', a human model created by a group of researchers from Med Alert Help and the New York-Presbyterian Orch Spine Hospital.

Will humans change in 1,000 years?

In the next 1,000 years, the amount of languages spoken on the planet are set to seriously diminish, and all that extra heat and UV radiation could see darker skin become an evolutionary advantage. And we're all set to get a whole lot taller and thinner, if we want to survive, that is.

Will future humans look different?

Human evolution relies on the differences in our genes and in our ability to pass on these genetic differences (ie our breeding capabilities). Over time, the population should change as these differences become more apparent. If the genetic changes are great enough, a new species will arise.

Could humans evolve again after extinction?

There were once nine human species, now it's just us. But could new human species evolve? For that to happen, we'd need isolated populations subject to distinct selective pressures. Distance no longer isolates us, but reproductive isolation could theoretically be achieved by selective mating.
