What are hypotheses and theories predicting future human evolution?(7)

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.

7. Evolutionary Stasis or Convergence

Hypothesis: Evolution may slow or reach a plateau due to modern civilization’s protection against environmental pressures.”

Details: Some scientists argue that modern technology, medicine, and social systems may reduce the need for traditional evolutionary change, leading to an “evolutionary stasis.” On the other hand, if humans optimize certain traits (e.g., intelligence), natural selection might drive convergence toward those traits across populations.
