What are hypotheses and theories predicting future human evolution?(1)

There are several hypotheses and theories that attempt to predict the future course of human evolution, considering both biological and technological factors. While these predictions are speculative, they offer intriguing possibilities about how humans might continue to adapt and evolve.

1. Genetic Evolution

Hypothesis: Humans may continue to evolve biologically through natural selection, but at a slower pace due to modern medicine, technology, and societal changes.

Details: As modern healthcare reduces mortality from many diseases, the pressure of natural selection might weaken. However, some scientists believe genetic evolution could still occur, particularly through changes in human reproduction (e.g., genetic engineering, fertility treatments). Traits such as resistance to diseases or climate adaptability could evolve if environmental pressures become more intense due to global climate change .
