The next step in evoution, dictated by you.

So, let's say you would be able to dictate the evolution of our species.
You could change anything about us; psyke, mental power and/or threshold, physical strength, even our physical structure.
=========================================================================================
First of all some questions, like:

• How do you picture us?

• What dis/advantages would we have?

• Do we posses any kind powers; non-existing in our current state in evolution?

• Have we lost any traits and/or gained others? e.g. emotion, some senses, etc.

• have we become dependent? e.g. on machinary, drugs, etc.

• Have we evolved any major changes? e.g. evolving into a Parthenogenetic species (meaning a non-gender species.)

So tell us your picture of the next step in evolution.

Next step in evolution = men with penises that break condoms easier.

All kidding aside, I don't think we'll be "evolving" anytime soon. Although our technology will improve making life relatively easier.

People can enter and exit a 2D world of their choosing at will. Any serious sudden step will cause too much trouble for an already frail global society. Going between worlds shouldn't cause too much trouble.

A small addition of night vision like the vision we have at day would be welcome.

Wings. We need wings. Cosmetic, of course, since being able to fly would require an enormous wingspan, which would be too much of a pain. Not to mention our weight...

More wings The ability to control hair growth. It'd be better if it were possible to go without shaving without getting annoyed by the hair that grows.

MORE WINGS Common sense.

EVEN MORE WINGS Information is easier to access, so long as you paid attention during the time when you learned it. You can also use it to assault dumbasses who don't keep anything in there.

I'm betting on either telekinesis or at least smarter people.

We devolve because of technology, while every other creatures evolves in spite of this, killing us all, and wiping our existence from the face of the planet.

Jesus then proceeds to cry.

Humans will split to different kinds of species.
High intelligent species - average IQ is 200, developed psychic and telekinetic powers, physically weak, Omnivore
Highly physique species - highest IQ is 90, very fast and very strong, Omnivore
Marine adopted species - IQ is the same as modern humans, developed gills and fins, able to live on land and water, developed really sharp teeth, splits to 2 species: salt water and fresh water, Carnivore (eats aquatic species only).

Well, since no one else has said it; FUTAS, FUTAS FOR EVERYONE!

[color=#2e1a6b]We can create whatever we need with technology; I would rather see evolution fix some problems

This theory is so beautiful.

Our farts act like thrusters, and allow us to fly for the duration of the fart.

Humans will die out in 2020. Rise the planet of the dogs.

I don't think the next stop in human evolution will be a natural one.
It's either a) we will be so advanced in genetic engineering, that we will be able to "create the perfect human body" or b) we will merge with machines, like downloading our entire mind into a robot or something. That would be awesome.
Or we just nuke each other to extinction in world war 4. lol

Neurons which can link to electrodes, circuits and other electronic ports.

Let's see......New human of new world.

• How do you picture us?

- Almost half of the Human Population now are either Cyborgs or Androids, these was brought by depleting almost all of the Earth's Resources. The brain can be converted into data and the memories and everything can be stored to a new body.

• What dis/advantages would we have?

- Discrimination, Strife, Poverty, Corrupted Government etc
- Re-transfering life(data) into another body etc

• Do we posses any kind powers; non-existing in our current state in evolution?

- We can now enter a Virtual World, where everything is much much more beautiful, like our planet before.

• Have we lost any traits and/or gained others? e.g. emotion, some senses, etc.

- The humans who either became Androids or turned parts of themselves into cyborgs can no longer feel hunger, instead they are solar powered or they are charged.

• have we become dependent? e.g. on machinary, drugs, etc.

- The Mechanical beings have now become dependent due to their newly found unaging body.

• Have we evolved any major changes? e.g. evolving into a Parthenogenetic species (meaning a non-gender species.)

- Mechanical Bodies, Parts.

Ugh I'm sleepy, will probably re-edit this sometime - 4AM

Taller and with bigger brains.

I agree, but think of the other changes too.
We don't eat anything too hard or chewy anymore, so our jaws will get smaller (like it did allready a few hundred years ago)
Less phisical work means less muscle mass and weaker bone structure. Better clothing means sensitive skin. In a few thousand years (if we live that far) we might just look exactly like how we imagined the aliens. Tall, pale, with large skulls and eyes, small mouth and puny arms and legs.
Interesting huh ?

That is an interesting possibility but I dont really see Human evolution the same way you do. The way I look at it is that Humanity cant really seriously 'evolve' in such a short period of time as a few thousand years.

I think that If I was to travel back in time lets say 2000 years to the time of the Romans (Or even further back) there'd be practically no difference between me and a Germanic tribesman apart from obvious differences due to lifestyle and environment.

Ive read books on life in Roman times, Life in the Roman army and the parallels with present living is astounding. Apart from technological breakthroughs absolutely NOTHING has changed. The same systems are in place. Watch this film from the 1930's:

No difference from my experiences. (Quite haunting) D:

There will always be people who are athletes, (Who break records time and time again) There will always be soldiers in the peak of physical condition so I see no reason why Humanity will turn into candy assed puny limbed weaklings.

People (Me) will always chew 'difficult' foods like Steak so I dont think that my jaws as small as any of my ancestors, I also wear crappy cheap clothing and I always remember getting into this metal tub for a wash in front of the fire down my grandparents place (Old school) and my grandfather telling me what his father (Coal miner) told him "Washing your body weakens the skin". This was a time four generations ago when people toiled away at work just as hard as anybody else in history.

I really resent it that some people in the World seem to think that things were just magically given to 'whites' and we were all born into this fantastic utopia by chance... Wrong!! (We had to work towards it) We treated our own people like shit for hundreds if not thousands of years just like the Chinese do now. (And always have?)

Im probably opening a can of worms here but certain people bang on about slavery all the time and cant stop talking about all the perceived injustices against them and act like THEY'RE owed something as a result. Hoping some Tony Blair will issue an insipid apology and recompense. We get it... Fine! Slavery was a nasty bit of business in history but if you look at it can you really say that poor white people working in those nightmarish mills during the industrial revolution were in that much of a better position? Disease, death and poverty all around. Always getting taken advantage of and your life considered almost less than nothing. "Treat others how you'd like to be treated" My mother always told me but maybe people in the past treated others like Human garbage because thats all they knew?

I dont think Humanities changed at all, Its all the same to me!

Hopefully our bodies learn how to deage them selves if needed
