Evolution - what next?

Fanny Wank · 28-02-2009 11:51pm #1

Seeing as we alledgedly came from monkeys (I still have trouble with that one, the priest who 'befriended' me when I was young told a different story) where are we headed in the next million years? A few ideas?

Minge Hair: No one likes it, even women. If enough start shaving it off will it disappear forever in time?

Knob sizes: Men like having big knobs, women like having big knobs inside them. What with enhancement surgery etc will the average knob size increase?

Useless body parts: Apparently the appendix is a useless body part. will other parts go the same way? If so which? Ger Cannings Voicebox? Ronan Keatings knob? (come on Ronan, we all know the truth).

Anyone else any ideas?

Bigger, stronger forefinger developed from scrolling mouse wheel.

Evolution will be taking a break for the time being, hopefully it won't take a step backwards. :rolleyes:

maybe, but not because people shave it off. it might happen because men might tend towards women who have light minge hair so the "light minge hair" gene takes over

maybe but not because of enhancement surgery, possibly because women might tend towards men with big knobs so the "big knob" gene takes over. if they tended towards men who had been enhanced through surgery who didn't have the big knob gene, it would never take over

There's a number of factors.

Evolution only works when natural selection or success of reproduction comes into play. As a politically correct society, we tend to help those who evolution would've deselected a long time ago, eg. the handicapped, long term unemployed, etc.

You'll probably find that a stronger immune system will come into play with the increase in anti-biotic resistant bacteria.
Also, if the global temperature increases by say 4% by 2100 then only those able to adapt to hotter climates or migrate will thrive.

The baby finger provides most of the strength in the human grip, so I don't think its going anywhere

Kenno90 · 01-03-2009 12:06am

lol you not far off , people will start to become less and less hairy to the point were we are hairless , we don't need hair at all , clothes keep us warm ,

as for knob sizes, humans already have huge knobs compared to other mammals of equal size to us , take the gorilla , 2 inches is normal for them ,

and useless organs like the appendix, 3rd eyelid and the Darwin point are in the last stages of vanishing altogether , only a certain % of people have these and in a few thousand years (really small time evolutionary times)

I have a virtually hairless body, no nipples, 12 toes and fingers, Ihave the power of telekenesis and I can read minds. Evolution is my bitch and I am your god and your future.

So, you blame it on the Internet do you.:D

Well we will all be Hairless and all the same colour.

Just like the Goobacks

The left arm will be replaced with a tray so eating of curries at 3am while drunkenly shuffling home will be accomplised easier.

I'm sure I read something about this.
That we would be less hairy, have much smaller chins and larger heads.
Think a bald Mr. Burns.
We will also be weaker and probably lazier.

I'd imagine more intelligent and possibly taller and fatter.

Would we not be more likely to evolve with weaker immune systems due
to that fact that children are 'wrapped in cotton wool' so much these days?

Hopefully the general populace will develop the intelligence to actually understand evolution. But seeing how ignorance is "in" I can't see that being a selection pressure.

They were nothing till 2000, when they invited Bret to join them.
And then the New World Order was complete.:)

Meh.
That reeks of small man syndrome and a dude with a tiny pecker. I'm speaking from experience here. The pecker part anyway.

Yeah, that was about the time they started to completely suck and me and Scott were getting pissed.

nWo was best with just the three of them. Hogan, Hall, Nash.

I reckon we'll have worse memory, from relying on t'internet so much for information.

Also, a newer version of the English language will be made up to accomodate for those that don't know the difference between words like then/than and saying "should of" instead of "should have" will be acceptable.

TPD · 01-03-2009 1:36am

I think longer and more dextrous fingers will reign supreme.

Well Language is the fastest evolving thing on the planet. Unfortunately txt speak is becoming more and more common until it gets generally excepted.
