    If Darwin's Theory is true, what do you personally think the humans as a whole will evolve into and what do what evolution do you want personally for yourself.

    Collectively as whole: The humans will evolve and can use magic
    Mine: Xianxia or Xuanhuan like world

    I personally don't think humanity will evolve further, if they do then i can imagine larger heads, smaller physiques and smaller jaws.

    Blame the internet and modern society for that.... a study showed that modern kids around the age of 7 have spent at least ONE of the 7 years staring at an iPad screen....

    Obviously we are going to evolve into creepy octopus things that drive around in tin cans yelling "EXTERMINATE!" "EXTERMINATE!". Well thats what Id like to happen but unfortunately we are not kaleds. However, nothing rules out the possibility of kaleds being an evolved form of humans considering how similar they are in appearance to us.

    Unknowable; Taking Darwin's theory as true, which based on all current evidence is the case, the factors that dictate evolution no longer apply to humanity properly. We'd need a massive change in environment, an apocalyptic event, a major cultural shift, something along those lines. As it stands, the 'height' of humanity, the most powerful and wealthy, requires and encourages the livelihood of the 'bottom'. Theoretically this might make for possible evolutionary branches, but current culture makes that functionally impossible; it's actually seen as a positive to have a spouse/lover from a lower or higher standing; somehow we get both of those.

    Humans are evolving...microevolution. We just don't have the selection pressure needed to see any huge change. Gene flow is doing its job. As for what's next? Who knows? I doubt we'll ever branch off into another species as long as we're on Earth

    I will evolve into spiral being, and one day Shimon and TTGL Armada will come to fight me in a battle for universe. Well jokes aside i think the next path will be genetic mutation, it might be beast people or esper society.

    Human next evolution is losing one dimension. A perfect world filled with cute 2d beings.

    We are the monsters. Philosophically speaking. Average height is increasing and livespan getting longer. There are already moves to adjust the retirement age (good luck with that)

    Well if you're gonna use darwin's theory. We need to see what would keep a person from reproducing before death. In today's society that would only be from a small number factors such as childhood cancer, infertility, terrible immune system, other health reasons, social awkwardness, mental disabilities. So there would be less of those. Other than those, we override natural selection for the most part.

    Favorite evolution? I guess omniscience.

    Well we have a lot more plastic in our system that may cause fertility problems. That wasn't happening in the years before 1930 if I remember correctly what that documentary said. It's also hereditary, as in, yo baebe gon hav plazdik in itz $ysTeM. Does that count as evolving? Well otherwise I'd like humans to evolve into beigns strong enough fight off the Reptilian Lizard People that are ruling the world behind the scenes.
