What do you think about the possible human form in 10,000 years?

[maj1nall]

I asked ChatGPT how humans will evolve in 10,000 years and asked to draw it. What do you think about?

Bigger nostrils: To better cool the air when breathing in hot weather.

Thinner facial features: The face can be narrower and longer to dissipate body heat faster.

Darker skin: Melanin levels increase to protect against sunlight.

Slanted, squinting eyes: Like a natural eye protection against intense sunlight.

More prominent brow bones: To prevent sweat from running into the eyes.

Hair may be sparser or absent: The scalp may be more bare to retain heat.

That's not how evolution or the climate works.

Why would there be more sunlight? If the planet gets warmer, that leads to greater evaporation, which means more clouds and therefore less sunlight (with significant regional variations, of course).
Noone is going to die from getting sweat in their eyes, or from having nostrils that are too small. Those things will have no impact on reproductive success, and are therefore not traits that will be selected for.
The next ice age is also predicted to occur roughly 10,000 years from now, so it may actually be much colder than today.

The much more likely scenario is that people from China and India (which together make up over a third of the world's total population), as well as Africa, will increasingly migrate to other regions, and have children with people of other races, and the different races will therefore become less distinct - everyone will look "Chindian".

Biological evolution is slow as hell. 10,000 years is nothing on an evolutionary scale. More likely if we don't exterminate ourselves in the next 10 millenia we end up augmenting our biological bodies with custom genetic modifications and artificially enhanced body parts. Or maybe even complete synthetic bodies that can be repaired indefinitely. We leave the bag of water behind.

[maj1nall]

The likelihood of this happening is not at all surprising

[FreyaRed]

I'm pretty sure if humanity doesn't kill itself in next 10k years beings created by fusion, replacement with artificial bodies or body parts will be synthetic. Flesh is weak and not suitable for eternal life.

[Entertained_Adult]

We are getting pretty synthetic already with the microplastics.

[FreyaRed]

@Entertained_Adult It's just the food for nanobots we got with vaccines. lol

[Sluttt]

I think humans are going to evolve to bitch and kitten

[Douglas1180]

The woke mob is so consumed by their fantastical theories and climate change, that they fail to see the real evolution happening right now: under Trump's leadership, America stands tall on the world stage. That's the kind of progress we should be focusing on, not some far-fetched physical transformation.

[maj1nall]

Not everyone here is American, dude

[exitseven]

It will be more like this. Obesity will be normal

Let's let Zager and Evans answer the question...

I think about it more in terms of 300,000-500,000 years. Also about how different our brains would be.

[strateguy632]

Skeptical in general but seeing "nights consistently colder than average" refuted most of that "cooling off" stuff.

[Likes2drive]

Actually with all the intermixing of the races globally now we will probably be not too far off from looking like that in less than a few hundred years

[maj1nall]

Hahahah a different perspective😂

[Anonymous]

I’m not sure evolution works that fast. Though there was that moth that evolved to blend in with smog from the Industrial Revolution in only like 75 years.

[DrPepper12]

Sounds reasonable. I'm told that when the whole planet jumbles up (it will happen) that we will look Polynesian.

[OneViewpoint]

@DrPepper12,

Yeah, on the scale of 10,000 years it's not evolution as much as the blending of regional differences on a constantly shrinking planet with a growing population. It's breeding. But not necessarily adaptation to environmental forces beyond that. We've already removed a lot of environmental factors that historically drove evolution. Evolution in the future could be by choice with genetic manipulation or synthetic body parts or complete synthetic bodies. If the current acceleration of accumulated knowledge holds up over time, advances in the next few hundred years will seem like magic to people alive today. But at some point even that growth curve has to flatten out as we approach something closer to 100% understanding of the universe and carbon based life forms.

[NicholasRedone]

So it's going back to Egypt? Lol 😆 ☀️ 🌞 that climate change heat lol

[andreasderjuengere]

Probably getting back to where we were once = make humans great again

[jahaims]

10,000 years is a very short amount of time in terms of evolution. The human body hasn't changed much in the last 200,000 years let alone 10,000.

[WonderingManII]

I don't think humanity will be around in 10,000 years.

[Babygirl_S]

The hair loss means no beards and eyebrows. I like both.

[TonyMetal___86]

No one knows for sure, it depends on the climate and technology...

[ewok737]

The human species will not survive for 10,000 years.

[Smegskull]

Considering we are now evolving based on social selection not natural selection, I think it is miles off.

[Anonymous]

if the human race is still around by then, it won't surprise me if the way men and women interact with each other still remains the same, as in, men approach women.

[SpaceGalaxy]

Regardless of our form then, we (humans) will still be on GAG

[beefcakebradybatson]

Imagine an entire specie that resembles TRUMP !!!

[Anonymous]

So everybody will look ugly in the future? Interesting...

[Anonymous]

Humanity will be long extinct like inside 50 or 100 years

[Anonymous]

I'm not buying that future humans will be thin.😆 Not unless Ozempic becomes mandatory.

[sage2021]

I can't even imagine 🐻

[Anonymous]

He looks like a sickly Indian dude

[SmokinAces2000]

I’ve seen people that look like that currently

[Anonymous]

Everyone is bald in the future?

[maj1nall]

Since our world has a general climate crisis problem, the answer is yes

[Opinion Owner]

Good lord. Im glad Im gonna be dead by then

[maj1nall]

Hahaha. Scientists say 2050 is the end of the world

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah they’ve been saying that for a long time , I’ll believe it when I see it.

[maj1nall]

Every year temperatures rise by 1°. Last summer we roasted. It was the hottest summer in the history of the world. Greedy world. According to this calculation, temperatures will be 50 or 60 degrees Celsius🤯

[Opinion Owner]

I highly doubt that , but I’m not a scientist.

[maj1nall]

Neither am I, but the scientific data is correct😂

[maj1nall]

There was a very different temperature in Istanbul last summer. it makes human brain throb.
