geez, I'm only 5 foot 3 inches now..glad I'll be dead by then.

You are short..lol No offense intended. Hey think of it like this, you are advanced for your time. HUH???

Yeah I have had spiritual leaders and gurus tell me I'm very evolved...and the radical christians tell me I'm evil....WTF?

I am tall (for a woman) and fat. Guess that means I'm only halfway evolved.

What will evolve from us in time?

oh my dear friend..you are NOT fat..you are beautiful!!!

"Since evolution is a constant thing with all living things and we know that to evolve does not mean that the original being disappears. What will evolve from us in time?"

I've wondered this very thing. It will definitely involve the on/off switches all living things have that control growth, brain function, reproduction, adaptability etc.

yeah...but your not 5 foot 3 inches..and your not a chick, or ARE you?????

Okay so what will we look like if we survive another couple thousand years?

Or what will evolve from us in that time?

Could there be another humaniod type creature that evolves from us?

That's like asking Which famous person will die next. Its hard to say what will come, it is possible that a comet or meteor could come into our atmosphere bringing with a plague of some sort and at that point we may see those who survive as they would be the ones with the right switches flipped. It may also come down to people having an extra gene of some sort. But what they will look like is any ones guess.

I saw an article the other day stating that the evolution of women will be that we will be shorter and heavier by a few inches and a few pounds in 50 years. I will try to find the article for reference but it brought a question to my mind.

That article is rather interesting. I imagine because shorter, heavier women are more physically fit for childbirth, the genes responsible will permeate the gene pool more than those that result in taller, thinner women. After all, they're having more children. I'd really like to get my hands on the study that was published in the NAS journal.

Technically, with evolution the "original thing" DOES disappear. For example, we did not evolve from modern apes. We share a common ancestor (that 'disappeared'). Populations evolve due to changes in the environment. The original species generally disappears because it HAD to evolve to survive due to new environmental pressures. If humans do eventually evolve to such a degree that we can no longer be considered human (strange concept, that) it would be due to environmental pressures we can't really predict. There are too many factors, I'd think, to accurately predict such large-scale changes. We'd have to factor in technology, culture, geology, cosmology, etc., at which point the question becomes not what we evolve into, but whether it's worth the effort to make an accurate guess.
