This question was born when i saw a question in my History book from school. It said in Dutch: "What do you think the humans will look like 100.000 years from now?" I thought we would be almost the same, but what if it weren't 100.000 years, but a million? (1.000.000)

So far, i saw a video about how the Earth looks like 100.000.000 years from now. It should be still an available video on YouTube. First you would see the Earth's 'past', then it's current look at after that 100.000.000 years in the future. I can only tell the Climate Change has come true here.

But i've been wondering: What do you guys think people will look like 1.000.000 years from now? It can be any thought, but... *whispers* ...keep it appropriate, as usual.

I'm going to be the morbid one here, and point out that many scientists believe our resources will reach their peak by about 2050, and after that things are only going to get "interesting" in terms of fresh water and food.

However, assuming we manage to beat the odds and humanity survives another 100,000+ years (LOL) I believe that our skin/eye color will be more so the same (tan skin-brown eyes). I'm also curious as to how features which are no longer needed (appendix, I'm looking at you) might eliminate itself out.

I don't think humans will exist a million years from now. Either we are going to kill each other off in war and we certainly have that capacity now to do that or we are going to ruin our planet by dumping toxic waste into the oceans until the ecosystems of the world fail and can no longer support our populations.

There might be a few surviving humans but likely they will have to change in order to adapt to whatever the world looks like even 5000 years from now. Given a million years I can't see humans remaining exactly the same as we do now.

Although, Dr. Who seems to give a different impression In Dr Who it seems like humans don't really change at all through millions or billions of years

We have changed an awful lot in the last million years, and it is to be expected we will change in the same manner in the next million. If we survive, that is, because like geeo said now more than ever the population can be decimated in a true World War.

I personally don't believe humans will be here in a million years from now. By then, space colonies in outer space will have begun, or at least their construction. I'm not saying we will become like Star Wars, it's just that the best solution to overpopulation is by leaving home. I admit the world would be a better place without several thousands of idiots that roam free right now, but seemingly we prefer to see the Earth die from overpopulation that seeing ourselves kill each other to make this world a better place.

And what would be considered retro gaming in a million years from now, Vizzed?

I'm actually a young earth creationist (sorry, please don't stone me) so I don't believe the earth is that old. However, the reason I don't believe that humanity will nearly last that long are for 3 reasons:
1. We will have used up all of the earth's resources way before then
2. As geeogree said, war could potentially take out everyone (just a matter of time before someone makes a weapon so strong that it destroys the entire planet)
3. As the Bible says, God will eventually destroy this earth and create a new one after the events in Revelations (had to add at least 1 biblical reason)

im the only one who thinks we will make it, we can recycle to the point where we are going to eat plants to live. war will always happen because someone made a religious statement rather the truth, since we have the internet more and more people have given up following the old religion that always lead to people dying. however now we are facing the more difficult thing, thats how we going to make a ever lasting world peace, because if anyone has an idea it would be their ideal world peace not the correct way to make a world more peaceful.

space travel might be possible with the help of drones, they just need to be program to do stuff and we can use better solo power technology. this topic has been brought up many times even nasa has thought of possibly sending a drone to do better exploration of a planet than any vehicle we can ever build.

what we look like in 1 million years? it looks like this:

yes this creature does exisit, its not photoshop and only one picture has ever been taken.

We will probably evolve taller and weaker,due to the fact that we do eat better,but at the same time we do little physical work on the whole. I personally we will devolve like that movie,"Idioacracy",where we just get dumber while our stuff gets smarter. We will be lazier,not wanting to walk 10 minutes to the store or just order our food and it is shipped to us. We probably will not raise our kids,hell,we barely do that now. I bet that we will just turn them over to robots or some form of child rearing. We will probably be some form of brownish/gray skin coloring due to intermingling. We would probably also be cybernetic,and would misuse the hell out of it.

But this is just my take on our evolution.

Well let's see, World War III is going to happen sooner or later and we'll end up blowing each other up and cause mutually assured destruction, and the end of human civilization. So, humanity won't last for a million years, heck, not even a thousand years by this rate.

But if somehow that humans stay alive by then, we might be technically advanced at a point that all human beings are cyborgs, and what goes on after that, not too sure.

We will abandoned the concept of life we know now and become ætherial beings, capable of manipulating matter with naught but our focused will. We will become virtual demigods without corporeal form... That is at least by our current idea of what demigodhood is.

Nah, what I really believe will happen to most of the life on earth by then is extinction or high forms of evolution that we are barely capable of guessing at, with humans becoming one of the extinct species. While it is thought the human condition is the highest form possible for an unenlightened soul, I believe something will come to replace us after we inevitably detroy ourselves and most other life forms in the process, which we will most definitely do in the next million years. Not necessarily on this planet, mind you, but something on par with us will come into existence if it hasn't already.

This is getting pretty depressing, so I guess I'll throw my depressing 2 cents in, too:

"What will the human look like in 100,000 years? 1,000,000 years?"

We aren't going to live to see it (I.E none of us NOW will live to see how humans are in 1,000,000 years), so who cares?

I would assume that we'd probably look very similar to how we do now, if humanity still exists in 100,000 years. I mean, aside from my own thoughts on how long the world will last, resources, and all that. Hyopthetically speaking, if we somehow did make it that long, we'd probably look a lot like we do now.

I believe a million years of evolutionary change will have such an impact we won't look much like we do now, nor will we really consider ourselves humans.  Humanity has a lot of evolving, especially with climate change, the potential/probability of space flight, and that will have an impact.

Imagine a group of humans make it to another planet smaller than the earth with less mass.  That planet will have less gravity and that will affect the musculature and bones of people.  They'll grow taller, they'll be lighter, and need fewer muscles to get around.  They'll look like how I imagine elves to look in Dungeons and Dragons.

Or they land on a planet with slightly more mass that has more gravity.  They'll be more muscled, shorter, squat, and more like dwarves.

We'll still be on earth in a million years but we'll be different.  How?  I have no idea.  I'm thinking fewer people living more harmoniously with the environment, probably everyone will be physically fit and literate.

I think that a million years from now, the human race will have expanded to Mars, if not to other solar systems or even galaxies. I mean, with the way technology takes leaps and bounds at certain points, I think that such a possibility not only isn't out of our reach, but is well within it. It may require humanity to send colonists to live on ships for decades or even generations, but we could do it. Of course, with interplanetary, or intergalactic, travel, comes colonies breaking off from earth, humanity's evolution drastically changing course on these worlds, and likely war between planets at some point.

Once it became practical to travel quickly between planets (we're already working on teleportation, after all), war would spread across the galaxy, the two factions splitting off into the Intergalactic Empire and the Galactic Republic, maybe with the Romulans and Starfleet thrown in there somewhere, and the galaxy would be set ablaze in their conflict.

So how do I think this all ends, you may be asking? That's actually a rather simple answer, to be completely honest.

The Intergalactic Empire, 999,992 years from now, will forge a machine so powerful that the other three factions must join together to destroy it. This machine is the Death Star.

Starfleet, the Romulans, and the Republic send every last ounce of their firepower to take on the empire, and manage to absolutely crush the imperial fleet, but when faced with the terror-inducing weapon that Emperor Palpatine and Lord Vader have forged, they are no match, their fleets torn to pieces with only a few shots.

So yeah that's that. xD

I do not think even Siths could tell. I am not very optimistic at the moment; warlords from every country still seem to think that pillaging and plunder are the best ways to make a country great. The short era of liberalism (1815 to 1914) has apparently taught no one anything, or people simply ignore it and return to the barbarian times. How sad
