In the next billion years or so, how do you think humans or any life form will evolve(if there is any life left on Earth).

we wont really evolve anymore because we dont need to....we have the ability to mold our environment to our needs so we dont have to evolve to the environment....the only different would be racial distinctiveness wouldnt be as evident cause chances are the various races would have mixe a great deal

Not sure but I overhead some chatter that humans are much more dextrous (proper word?) than they were a few centuries ago. I could believe that considering the state of technology.

Yeah. With all the artificial and sugar-filled crap we eat, who knows what kind of effects things like Doritos will have on us in the long run...

Since we no longer breed for survival but rather for pleasure, we're not going to evolve until aliens threaten to bomb us.

i was thinking is baldness just a small defect that was passed down for hundreds of years or is that sort of a continuation of our evolving without the need for our monkey like body hair all thats left on us from millions of years ago all that is left  is on our heads, among a few other places. . . * im not talking about the thin arm/leg hair i mean the thicker corse head hair or monkey fur

Not biologically, too slow. Technology is how we're going to evolve. IE putting computers in our bodies integrating them with our nervous system/brain, etc etc.

my guess is that we will get weaker because we live an easy life, caveman had to fight for survival almost everyday and were stronger, we on the other hand are weaker our bones are smaller compare to caveman thousands of years ago

lol i don't think the earth will stop rotating unless a force acts on its massive angular momentum which is constant.

Well as a believer of the creation and not evolution, thats how i know that humans didnt evolve.  But im not going to argue that now because everything has been said already on this site about that subject.  And I know for a fact that in a billion years I wont care about anything here because i wont be here.

It is my personal theory from what i have seen, that humans have reached a point where we cant Evolve. No, it's not because of biology, it's because of society. Evolution happens, because lets say your some random fish. You get better lungs because of a mutation at birth. You spread this to your kids. Those without the advanced lungs die off.

In our society, the original human DNA never dies off. It remains the vast majority and the mutated DNA seems to generally fade off. We hear about mutations all the time, but then they fade away and become dormant genes and then it's just good ole us. We protect all and allow everyone to breed, and we ensure equality and in some countries force it. I think it is this that will prevent our evolution, unless there is somehow a mass mutation. That's my theory.

Hopefully we get turned into mutants, lets see we should call this race the z-men. Nope that does not sound right, the y-men. That is even worse, what about the X-Men. Yep that sounds great.

I don't like the way people seem to think  "We wont evolve anymore because we don't need to"  of course we don't need to evolve, but surely something like an extra eye, better eyes or better lungs would be great - I think we are more likely to evolve like better lungs, liver etc. but not really to the extent of an extra eye or an extra leg :P

Lance Armstrong's heart was genetically larger than normal. His routines made it even bigger. Some people have more efficient organs by heredity, but it won't pervade through the human race anytime soon.

The blind spot? 3rd from the top, I take it? If we can actually let ourselves evolve, I say the mutants of the Xmen sort. But*sighs* I have no doubt that cybornetic implants will be used as artificial improvers on the human body.
