Their chains are so deep in my soul, can't break these fetters.The Fettered believe in these games and willingly bind themselves to them.
Will human become extinct or evolve into other forms? Easy question, What does evolution say about this?

Guys you'll have to forgive dead one's questions. They just are that uneducated. I don't know what country they grew up in, but science certainly wasn't part of their education.

So it is very easy for you to answer them? Why had you failed to answer

Nobody can predict that. Humans control the environment around them, and have access to medicine, ample supplies of food and water. Selection doesn't play as much in humans as it does in other animals.

When a species is successful in their environment, very little change occurs. See crocodilia for example - they have only changed marginally over 84 million years. This is because they are good at what they do, in the environment that they live in.

Humans just so happen to also be good at what they do. It is not possible to predict if humans will see any major changes over the next million years.

If you are genuinely interested about biological ancestry of humans, I suggest reading a book called The Ancestor's Tale. Common ancestors of whom? I don't think you understand the term - So perhaps you should start with - 'What are common ancestors'.

A common ancestor is shared ancestor between two different species.

if that is case then what makes you to predict Past. Can't evolution predict future on base of past.

B$, If change occurs very little then why there is lot of difference between species.

You don't predict the past. You examine the past. And no, you cannot make predictions of the future based on the past - because the future is unpredictable.

I never stated that little change occurred. I stated that with respect of Crocodilia - little change has occurred because they have been successful in their environment. If you understand the process of natural selection, you'd understand why this is the case. Huge change has occurred in other species. If you take one more quote of mine out of context or do not read it correctly, you will be blocked. This is your only warning.

dead one. I am a historian and I have spent the last 30 odd years studying the past using the principles of cause and effect. This involves tracing back through the evidence to try and discover what lead to the end result. We do this by looking at what already happened.
Despite all of my experience in investigating the past - I am incapable of predicting the future. I can learn from the past and point out when humans are repeating errors made before and advise not repeating those errors but I have no way of predicting exactly what will happen in the future as unexpected events can and do occur.
200 years ago who knew that not only would humans develop a means to fly but put a man on the moon. 100 years ago who knew that we would develop antibiotics. 50 years ago who knew that we would have not only mobile phones, but mini computers in our pockets...

In terms of the possible extinction of the human race - we simply do not know what will happen in the future. There could be a global nuclear war, a meteor strike, a devastating pandemic coming down the line in 100 years, 1000 years, 100,000 years - we have no way of knowing.

No, you examine it with evidence.

This question is too stupid to answer. If you're interested in learning about the evolution of Crocodilia (not crocodiles), then read a book. But you're simply too uneducated to formulate a logical question.

I don't care about your grasp of English. I care about whether someone has enough knowledge in an area to have a reasonable discussion with them about it. My little sister knows more about this topic than you do. I'd be shockingly embarrassed if I was you. Unless of course, you're only 12 - then I'll excuse your ignorance.

There were never first humans. Humans just didn't appear out of nowhere. The evolved from an earlier member of the Homo genus.
