What will happen to the future of the human species???
Hypotheses In the future, the human race may: Become two sub-species Become survivalists, creating many different species that will be able to cope with doomsday Depend on genetic modification to improve our intelligence and physique Become less diverse, more homogenous as a whole Assimilate machinery to ourselves and become cyborgs Become an alien species suited to space travel
Hypothesis-1
Humans Split into Two Sub-Species Evolutionary theorist are expects a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass to emerge. Humans will become more choosier about their sexual partners Upper-class: Slim, intelligent, attractive Underclass: Ugly, dim-witted, goblin-like
Hypothesis-2
Other Changes Humans will evolve between 6ft and 7ft tall Life-spans will have extended to 120 years Social skills (e.g. interacting with others) could be lost. Chins would recede, as a result of having to chew less on processed food. From this…to this?
Hypothesis-3
Playing evolution with genetic modification We will be genetically modified to become a smarter, stronger species We already have been wrestling with real-world aspects of future human development Stem-cell research Implantation of biocompatible computer chips We are making ourselves virtually extinction-proof by bending Earth's flora and fauna to our will. DNA and drugs enhance intellect and physique.
Mind Uploading
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE It is sometimes called as machine intelligence Contrast to the natural intelligence. The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech, recognition, decision-making and translation.
EVOLUTION OF HUMAN ROBOTICS Fully programmed humanoid robot used for academic research
HUMAN AS A CYBORGS Genetic mutant with extended power beyond biological human. Mikko alasaarela is a human merge with machine. Some of the body functions are replaced by robotic machines. She is the merge of human with robotic eye.
CYBORG WITH ROBOTIC EYE
DESIGNER BABY A designer baby is a human embryo which has been genetically modified, usually following guidelines set by the parent or scientist, to produce desirable traits.
DESIGNER BABY WITH BLUE EYES
BABY WITH DESIRED COLOUR AND INSERTION GENE FOR DESIRED HAIR COLOR
The CRISPR-cas9 gene editing tool , which raises the specter of tinkering with our DNA to improve traits like intelligence, athleticism and even moral reasoning.
INSERTION OF DESIRED GENE FOR HIGH IQ POWER
Hypothesis-4
Unihumans Blending Together as One Cultural diversity, is fading as human society becomes more interconnected globally Already seen now by decline of linguistic diversity People become much more homogenous Races will “blend” Skin tones blend. Larger eyes are associated with greater "domestication."
Hypothesis-5
Cyborgs Man vs. Machine…or Man + Machine? Some experts worry that artificial intelligence may outpace Homo sapiens’ natural smarts. Or perhaps we’ll join with them. We could become part-robot ourselves We’re already making assimilated machinery Prosthetic limbs Mechanical hearts Artificial retinas. Why couldn’t brain augmentation be added to the list? Cyborg: Hardware enhances humans. Eventually the devices look more elegant.
Hypothesis-6
Turning into an alien race If humans survive long enough, people may have to spread out to new planets. SETI Institute has proposed several ways to get to outer space and survive Build a big ark: Build a spaceship big enough to carry an entire civilization to the destination star system. Go to warp speed: Somehow we discover a wormhole or find a way to travel at relativistic speeds. Enter the Astrans : Humans are genetically engineered to tolerate ultra long-term hibernation aboard robotic ships. Body hair just gets in the way during interstellar trips.

BRAIN
SPACE COLONIZATION,INDUSTRALIZATION AND SETTLEMENT Space colonization is due to availability of additional resources in space . To increase the economic power, military Institutions and to reduce the war, economic inequality and environmental degradation in our earth.
