How do you think Humans will evolve over the next millenium, mentally and physically?

As cool of an idea as it is, I dont think we'll be going anywhere drasticly different, I mean think back to what people were like 1000 years ago, and compare to now, its not that much of a change.

Point taken, but how about psionic abilities, or psychic abilities?

We won't get that unless we need it. So unless the world goes crazy we wont need to. So we will never get phycic abilities unless you learn that then you teach it to all you kids they teach it and then it will be a trait passed down.

Humans are _LOSING_ their phychic abilities.

1000 more years from now: The average weight will be 400 lb. Microsoft will have been bought out by an even MORE horrible company (hehe), computers will be exactly 1/3 the size they are now, and gigabytes will be NOTHING compared to the amount of storage these new computers will have. Acmlm's board will have closed, and we'd all be dead (1000 years is a lot. ). We'd be 1/2 as active as we are now (which isn't a lot. ). Black and White will be a minority. Everyone will be a shade in between. Sorry if that sounds kinda racey, but think about it for a minute. The coolest part is VR will be like the Matrix. We'd put helmets on that will stimulate different sections of our brains to produce a Matrix effect, except the cool part is that we can die in this VR, and not die in real life because of it.

Humans would be SO ABUNDANT, we'd have to do a lottery to find out who has to die to prevent overpopulation.

Also, something MAJOR will happen that affects everyone. Call it a hunch...

Try to stay on the serious side here.
Sightly longer fingers for more precise control of delicate objects and a larger skull for more brain capacity. Some slight psionic abilities like minor telekinesis.

I wouldn't want to die next. Although you have an interesting theory there, that Acmlm's Board will be gone, Microsoft will be dead indeed, and much more powerful computers that are of an whole new breed.

I like your theory so far though, mind if I copy your post text to Microsoft Word in Bold?. :O

Depends on the conditions of our existence in 1 or 2 thousand years.

We, by then, will have gained the ability to colonize other worlds. So, humans will begin branching off into different specie branches. Terrestrial humans based on their world will be different than humans that have lived in space for generations. There will be humans that have assimilated themselves into a technological cyborg world. There will be humans that have remained on the natural course of evolution and turned into giant lard ass bosses. There will be workers.

It is all based on the condition in which we are existing and the events leading up to it.

I had heard from some magazine (I wish I had remembered it) that there was already a new type of human out there.

This kind just thinks differently.

Yea. They're called rational people. They weigh about 160-180lbs at the adult stage, have an I.Q of 100 or better, and don't bitch about politics or how they'll sue McDonalds for making them fat.

Are you referring to Bat-Boy?

Anyways, to say that we're going to gain psionic abilities, as in the power to move something with your mind or something, is ridiculous. You can't move something with your mind. You could shout at something so loud that it falls over or something, but never simply move something "with your mind", at least in a world based on objective logic.

If by psychic powers you mean being smart enough to get a good prediction about the future or being able to communicate in sound waves not usually audiable to humans, that is certainly possible, although very unlikely.

Frankly, I simply prefer not to go guessing about it. It would take so long that any predictions made today would certainly be far outdated by the time any sort of evolution happens.

Developing psychic/psionic abilities in the next 1000 years is absurd. Remember back in the 1890s - 1920s when people were talking about a society of robots and flying cars and such by the year 2000. Now remember how wrong they were?

We're not going to blow ourselves up. That's silly, we've been aware of that possibility for too long.
...I'd give us about an 80% chance of somehow breaking this planet some other way than explosions, though.
To that end, here are some apocolypses for the new millenium:
-Freezing, as in Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle.
-Freezing, by destabilizing our orbit. (Frying too)
-Freezing, by overkill attempts at stopping global warming.
-Turning the planet into a ball of grey goo, thanks to the miracles of nanotech.
-Vaporizing the planet. Don't ask how, I don't want to know.
-Temporal anomolies.
-Rock we're standing on stops existing suddenly. Hopefully we'd go with it, so we wouldn't die horrible deaths.
-Planet turned inside out.
-Atmosphere says "FU" and goes away.
-Atmosphere turns into acid.
-Super virus.
-Biogenetically engineered preditors.
-Pissing off aliens.
-Biblical apocolypse.

Provided none of that happens though, the next thing I see on the human evolutionary agenda is dealing with the massive global climate changes that will result when the moon floats away.

ok, Sephiroth.


I think we'll kill ourselves long before we develop any psionic abilities. Or we'll develop so many freaking survivor and Land Before Time sequels that we'll lose ANY ability to think whatsoever.

At least that's what i think.
