Human evolution is a process of continued changes from the origin such as apelike ancestors. For example, evolution includes using up of two limbs to walk rather than four which was used by our primates. Many types of research have been done on human evolution and are still going on to figure out the mysteries of future. Human is curious to know future and here are some anticipations from scientists which will awestruck people-
1. Teeth- Many of the researchers have claimed that food habits have changed drastically if compared to primates, which has totally changed the shape and size of teeth and if we continue with such extra sugary supplements in our diet. Then we will develop a beak instead of teeth. The teeth would merge as one to form a hard bird-like beak.
2. Hands- As we excessively use touch screen technology, scientists have claimed that the nerve endings will grow at a larger pace, making fingers longer. The size of the fingers may increase up to 7.4 inches being more elongated and flexible.
3. Brain- Scientists have found the evidence of brain shrinking with the help of several comparative tests conducted on human and apes. Many of scientists believe that as our life is becoming easier we tend to use less brain. The comparison is seen in terms of wildlife creatures possess’ bigger brain compared to tamed animals.
4. Skin- This evolution will be considered to be the most bizarre as humans could develop a skin that can change colours according to the environment. Due to sudden weather change conditions, humans are likely to develop a manipulating specialised cell pigment known as “chromophores” which is found in some reptilians and amphibians. This cell pigment helps in changing of skin colour.
5. Immune systems- Some research theories suggest that humans are now acquainted with the easy going lifestyle which prevents them from hard labour and exposure to certain germs making their immune systems weak. This is known as the Hygiene hypothesis.
There are some other theories which say that humans will be born without gall bladder, spleen and appendix as they do not have any use in our body. People may turn to mono-ethnicity, which would help in abolishing racial discrimination.
Let’s see how far evolution takes us or how strange it makes us.
