What is the next step in human evolution?

I believe it is a transvaluation of values.

A previous thread showed that a lot of people seem to think that capitalism is bad but this is a response (and to see your thoughts) to show that it is the absolute best we can do right now within our evolutionary stage as a species. Heres why

Fredrich Nietzsche coined the term "transvaluation of values" but here I will not use it to describe religion. Here it is used to describe our nature and thought processes as a species.

2001: A Space Odyssey had the dramatic scene of a monkey learning that using a tool (a bone) for violence would gain him food. If you recall the boars just hanging around the monkeys. A source of protein the monkeys were neglecting until one of them learned that he could use a bone in order to smash it and kill it. This is the kind of evolutionary leap needed for humans to move from capitalism to communism. A society where one's ego does not interfere with what benefits himself and what benefits everyone else.

As a sentient speces we must relinquish our ego in order to make the next evolutionary leap. One that is truely one for all.

Capitalism and our current structure of society is the best we can do as a species right now until we relinquish the ego and evolve. That is what I believe the next step in evolution is. What do you think. what is our next step in the evolutionary process?

There is no next step in evolution. We will simply continue to adapt to our environment.

no way of predicting evolutionary steps. 

There is no succession or improvement in evolution.  We are at the same stage in evolution as our ape counterparts.  

That's not a monkey, and we didn't evolve from monkeys.  Please stop with your terrible "evolution" threads

I'd say we're done evolving. We're at a point where people with bad traits can manage to survive and having good traits for reproduction doesn't even really matter anymore. Unless we start learning how to engineer our bodies but that's not normal evolution.

I wish people would evolve to the point where they understood evolution.Ace6301

I didn't evolve from no monkey!

Slap my face, you surely don't understand evolution, don't you?

Can openers.

We become the XMEN of course....duh....

The rest of you may have evolved from Monkeys, I however devolved from a donkey. :P

We'll evolve into Charizard because every human wants to fly.

no way of predicting evolutionary steps.

I think we are losing wisdom teeth and our appendix

TC pleased go take an eco-evo and/or genetics course

for a time i think it'll be merging technology w/ our bodies/minds. this will happen before we take control over our genes to manipulate them directly. at that point we'll really have 2 forms of evolution occurring. the vanilla slow biological / natural selection based evolution, and the human controlled extremely fast one.

i think the TC is referring to societal 'evolution' and doesn't mean evolution in the biological sense.. but far be that from preventing everyone from jumping on the "you're an idiot, tc, and don't know anything about evolution" bandwagon..

TC continuously makes threads trying to apply to apply evolution to social issues

:lol: oh wait are you serious about evolution being real?

I heard it will be smaller jaw, larger brains. Also at the rate we use our humb, our thumbs will become huge

It's a conspiracy!

TC - please stop making shitty threads on a subject you don't have the slightest understand of.

Next step in our evolution?  We're going to all grow wings and fly away.

I hope it's controlling shit with our minds. I'd love to think can of soda here and it floats through the air and come to me. ferrari2001

It's obvious that you don't understand how evolution works.

That doesn't help. He wants to be a Jedi, not Dr. Dolittle.
