Hey guys, so yesterday I was stealing knowledge from Wikipedia again, and I wondered, if homo sapiens sapiens (the species of humans we all are) have been around for ~250,000 years, it would not be too far-fetched to believe humans will evolve sometime soon.

And if a human evolved to the "posthuman", when would you think he/she do it? Where do you think the evolution would take place first? (With science as advanced as it is today, it would be easy to trace back the beginning of the evolution, assuming it happened sometime in the future)

Also, why do you think would the human evolve? Or, do you think humans have reached a stop on their evolution process? With humans pretty much "conquering" the planet, I can't see many reasons for an evolution from a survival point of view. Then again, the ones living in extreme conditions, such as the Poles, may be able to evolve over time, and if humanity starts spreading out to other planets, maybe the humans over there would gain new features to adapt better to the planet they're on.

Discuss!
