3. In the future, the human race may:
1. Become two sub-species
2. Become survivalists, creating many different species
that will be able to cope with doomsday
3. Depend on genetic modification to improve our
intelligence and physique
4. Become less diverse, more homogenous as a whole
5. Assimilate machinery to ourselves and become
cyborgs
6. Become an alien species suited to space travel

5. • Evolutionary theorist are
expects a genetic upper class
and a dim-witted underclass to
emerge.
– Humans will become more
choosier about their sexual
partners
– Upper-class: Slim, intelligent,
attractive
– Underclass: Ugly, dim-witted,
goblin-like
6.
7. • Humans will evolve between 6ft
and 7ft tall
• Life-spans will have extended to
120 years
• Social skills (e.g. interacting
with others) could be lost.
• Chins would recede, as a result
of having to chew less on
processed food.
From this…to this?

9. • We will be genetically modified to
become a smarter, stronger species
• We already have been wrestling with
real-world aspects of future human
development
– Stem-cell research
– Implantation of biocompatible computer
chips
• We are making ourselves virtually
extinction-proof by bending Earth's
flora and fauna to our will.
DNA and drugs enhance
intellect and physique.
10.
11. • It is sometimes called as machine intelligence
Contrast to the natural intelligence.
• The theory and development of computer
systems able to perform tasks normally
requiring human intelligence, such as visual
perception, speech, recognition, decision-
making and translation.
13. Genetic mutant with extended power beyond
biological human.
• Mikko alasaarela is a human merge with
machine.
• Some of the body functions are replaced by
robotic machines.
• She is the merge of human with robotic eye.
15. • A designer baby is a human embryo which has
been genetically modified, usually following
guidelines set by the parent or scientist, to
produce desirable traits.
16.
17.
18. • The CRISPR-cas9 gene editing tool, which
raises the specter of tinkering with our DNA to
improve traits like intelligence, athleticism and
even moral reasoning.
19.
20.
21. • Cultural diversity, is
fading as human society
becomes more
interconnected globally
– Already seen now by
decline of linguistic
diversity
• People become much
more homogenous
• Races will “blend” Skin tones blend. Larger eyes are
associated with greater
"domestication."
22.
23. • Some experts worry that artificial
intelligence may outpace Homo
sapiens’ natural smarts.
• Or perhaps we’ll join with them. We
could become part-robot ourselves
– We’re already making assimilated
machinery
• Prosthetic limbs
• Mechanical hearts
• Artificial retinas.
– Why couldn’t brain augmentation
be added to the list?
Cyborg: Hardware enhances
humans. Eventually
the devices look more elegant.
24.
25. • If humans survive long enough, people may
have to spread out to new planets.
• SETI Institute has proposed several ways to
get to outer space and survive
– Build a big ark: Build a spaceship big
enough to carry an entire civilization to the
destination star system.
– Go to warp speed: Somehow we discover a
wormhole or find a way to travel at
relativistic speeds.
– Enter the Astrans: Humans are genetically
engineered to tolerate ultra long-term
hibernation aboard robotic ships.
Body hair just gets in
the way during
interstellar trips.
26.
27.
28. • Space colonization is due to availability of
additional resources in space .
• To increase the economic power, military
Institutions and to reduce the war, economic
inequality and environmental degradation in
our earth.
