What are hypotheses and theories predicting future human evolution?(6)

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.

6. Genetic Divergence and Speciation

Hypothesis: Humanity could split into different species if populations are isolated or genetically engineered for specific traits.

Details: If space colonization or genetic engineering creates isolated or distinct populations with different environmental pressures or traits, humanity might eventually split into multiple species. This would be a rare and long-term possibility, similar to how Homo sapiens diverged from other hominins .
