What are hypotheses and theories predicting future human evolution?(4)
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.
4. Space Evolution
Hypothesis: Space colonization could drive future human evolution.
Details: As humans venture into space, different environments (such as lower gravity on Mars) may lead to new evolutionary pressures. Some researchers hypothesize that humans could develop new traits to adapt to space, such as changes in bone density, muscle mass, or even resistance to radiation. These changes could occur over generations as human populations settle off Earth .
