Huge foreheads, flat faces and saucer-like eyes: How scientists predict the human face might look in 100,000 years
Just as the human face has evolved considerably since stone age times so it is expected to keep changing in the future.
Today the human brain is three times the size of our primate ancestors. As our brains grew so did our heads get bigger, our skulls expanded and our features became flatter.
Now with the advent of wearable technology, such as Google Glass, how will our heads and faces evolve in 20,000 years, 60,000 years and even 100,000 years from now?

Sounds like my ex mother-in-law. Well, if you add fangs.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

What exactly would the selection pressures that would lead to much bigger eyes?

Actually, I think, in a neutal state, sort of. Large sentient strands of self-organising biologically derived synthetic proteins, probably clustered in vats waiting for a conciousness to be downloaded into it for interfacing with the physical world. So it would look, stretched out, like webbing. Candyfloss isn't that bizarre.devogue wrote:You mean we're going to evolve into...candyfloss?Audley Strange wrote:20, 000 years from now?

I don't suppose those experts gave any reason why those characteristics would be selected for?
With corrective lenses and artificial light I see no evolutionary pressure selecting for large eyes.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
