Description
The topic of this week's forum is a broad one--humanity's future. You have learned how human evolution has been shaped by forces such as the physical environment, antagonistic and symbiotic relationships with other species, disease, and human cultural interactions. Now share your predictions for the future of human evolution. What biological changes in humans will occur over the next centuries? How might forces such as climate change, disease, genetic technology, and globalization affect us? Do you think our physical appearance will change substantially (are we going to grow ever-enormous brains for example)? Try to apply what you have learned about evolutionary and biocultural forces in making your predictions. You are free to be imaginative and speculate here--so long as you provide a rationale for your predictions!

ANTHROPOLOGY FUTURE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION

For millions of years ago, human evolution has been experienced. There are different
changes that have been experienced where human beings are believed to change. Over the
centuries to come, there are possibilities of a human being to evolve even if it would be for little
changes. Change in the size of jaw and teeth are some of the biological changes likely to occur
(Eisler, 2015). There is a possibility that the human jaw will be smaller than the current size. This
will have been highly contributed to by the food we consume (Eisler, 2015). Over centuries ago,
the human jaw was large, and there were significant gaps between their teeth. Shifting from
hunting and gathering to agriculture has led to a change of diets, which has resulted in a reduction
of jaw size, which is evident from the learning materials. Similarly, there are changes in diets as
days go by. This will lead to a change in jaw size, and their teeth are likely to be smaller.
Another biological change likely to...
